James, Phil and Timmy Wiki

Welcome to the 'James, Phil and Timmy' Wiki
This is the official Wiki for the YouTube comedy series - 'James, Phil and Timmy'.

About
'James, Phil and Timmy' is a series of comedy YouTube videos following the lives of three friends. It was created by James Matthews (JWM Productions), who also writes and stars in the sketches. The first series began in October 2011 and ended in June 2012 - with one episode coming out every month. However, in April 2012, two sketches were released. Series Two started in October 2012 and finished in May 2013 - with the same format as the previous series. The only difference being is that no sketch was released in April 2013 due to the two-parted finale to Series Two coming out in May 2013. On average, each episode/sketch is about three and a half minutes in length.

Main Characters
 James Matthews:  James could be considered the main character as all of the videos are set at his house. (With the exception of 'Christmas Interviews'). He appears to be the more 'normal' of the three characters due to the fact that he often finds Phil and Timmy's ideas or actions absurd. He is not afraid of telling Phil or Timmy what he thinks of them either. During the first series, James lets Phil live with him due to Phil getting kicked out of his flat. This is something that James really regrets.

Phil Thompson: Phil is a very over-confident, bumbling fool. He is unemployed but makes enough money to survive by selling toothbrushes on eBay illegally. It is stated in 'Christmas Interviews' that he has been questioned by the police several times but has got away with it. During the second series, Phil manages to officially set up a business where he can sell these toothbrushes legally. Phil was expelled from school when he was 14 and left with no qualifications. Phil doesn't have a very good relationship with his landlord and ends up living with James due to this. When living with James, he causes much chaos, such as bringing a cow into the house in 'COW KIDNAP!'.

Timmy Jones: Timmy is a very timid and socially awkward individual. However, despite this shyness, he is studying to become a teacher throughout the first series - even though he appears to have little intelligence. Timmy often appears to look up to Phil and trust him deeply. For example in 'The Adventures of Phil Thompson', Timmy jumps out of a window to help Phil make his 'television show'. When Timmy is with Phil, they often end up causing mayhem. At the start of the second series, it is revealed that Timmy has passed his exams and is now a qualified teacher.

Minor Characters
 Phil's Landlord:  Phil's landlord is never seen. However, his voice is heard on the phone in 'Christmas Interviews' and 'The Party'. His voice is gruff and always has an angry tone. In 'The Easter Egg Mishap', it is stated that he is a large bodybuilder. Although he allows Phil to stay in his apartment, he doesn't like him and on at least two occasions has thrown Phil out.

 Mr. Crabb:  Mr. Crabb appears in 'How Not To Sell Your House'. He is the man who was interested in buying James' house. However, when Phil revealed some details about it, Mr. Crabb changed his mind.

 Sid the Burglar:  Sid first appears in the Series One sketch 'Burglar Break-In'. He is a burglar who James catches red-handed. It is revealed that Sid is an old school friend of Phil's, much to James' surprise. It is also stated that Sid has been arrested before for murder - whether he was guilty or not is left unspecified. He returns during Series Two with a more prominent role which sees him appear in 'The Mysterious Device' and both parts of 'The Lottery Ticket'.

 Kyle Tibbles:  Kyle is the news reporter who is seen in the second part of 'The Lottery Ticket'. Whilst he only appears briefly, he is still slightly wound up by Phil as he pronounces Kyle's name wrong twice during his interview.

Other

 * Each sketch has an individual storyline (with the exception of two-parted episodes), but there is a small story-arc that continues as the sketches go on.
 * The creator and writer of 'James, Phil and Timmy', James Matthews, plays all the characters in the videos.
 * The reason that one character is named after the writer (James Matthews) is because he made the characters' names up quickly and to save time he simply named one after himself.
 * James Matthews has confirmed that there will not be a third series of 'James, Phil and Timmy' as he feels two is enough. However, he has not ruled out the possibility of the characters returning in some shape or form.
