Mr Dooley was the owner of Weatherfield Video that opened in February 1982 in premises on Cobden Square near to Mike Baldwin's flat at 46b, St. Mary's Place. Mr Dooley left a message on Mike's answerphone advertising that he could supply all of his video equipment needs, including some tapes for the "adult viewer". Mike spoke back to the machine and told it that he had no need of the services as his father, Frankie Baldwin, was in the same business.
- Credited as "Salesman", the unseen character's name was given as part of the answerphone message.
