Shug

Hugh "Shug" McLaughlin, (played by Paul Young) who has extremely large ears (earning him the nickname "Shug the Lug", lug being a Scots word for ear), seems to be a self-proclaimed expert in radios and sound waves. He was a communications officer during World War II and he often goes off on long talks about it, much to Victor's and Jack's annoyance. Despite this, due to his technological knowledge, Jack and Victor often rely on Shug for technical help. Shug can apparently hear through walls and across streets due to his ears. It was revealed in "A Fresh Lick" that Shug has a part-time job as an overnight security guard in Delanys department store. In "Cat's Whiskers", Shug and Edith become the cover stars of Twilight Monthly magazine. In the final episode, it is revealed that Shug and Edith are now in a relationship.
