Mr Pelham

Mr Pelham is a character created for BBC's 1987 adaptation of Nemesis. He is an administrator working at "St Bride's Welfare Association". Pelham is portrayed by Roger Booth.

Miss Marple had earlier asked Lionel Peel to find Michael Rafiel who is said to be living among the homeless people in London. After an unsuccessful encounter with Mr Hallowes at Alexander Milton House, Lionel goes on to meet Pelham. Pelham confirms that Michael does indeed live among the homeless. Among the homeless, he was some sort of "people's advocate", a "consul populis". The homeless people consider him a kind of saint because he would speak up for them and stand up to officialdom on their behalf.
