Will Humphries

Will Humphries is the young, not especially bright but tremendously well-intentioned young intern who might well be working at the BBC because he is someone’s nephew.

Description
Will spends most of his time wandering round plugged into his MP3 player trying to find out what it is he’s supposed to be doing, and is occasionally given menial tasks by various people when they remember that he’s actually there.

Will 's famous catchphrase, Yeah, say again, is one of the defining lines of W1A.

Personality
Will is very well-meaning but often fails in the simple tasks he is assigned. He can be unexpectedly self-aware when he realises he has failed, but other than that he does not seem to realise that some others (notably Jack Patterson) look down on him. Will is hopelessly in love with Izzy Gould and even has her name set as his computer password. He often has to ask her for help to get out of his scrapes, and she usually obliges. Will is generally very friendly though he is sometimes socially awkward when meeting new people.
