I've also seen scans of the publicity the BBC put out about the characters before the series was screened, and Gan was described as a gentle giant from Zephron; no mention of farms though, but it does fit him.
Ah yes, Vila (and Blake) naked to the waist! Now, I've seen a photo of Michael Keating on a beach and he has a hairy chest, yet Vila doesn't. I still kick myself for not asking him if they made him shave for the scene - and why - when I met him. If they wanted to make Vila look more wimpy, it still seems a lot to ask. And did Gatreth have to shave too?
