hit it!

In non-comedies, first one that comes to mind is Stuart in Queer As Folk. Ooh, he was complex, that one.

If it was characters in comedies, I'd be here all day.

Zoidberg

Errol from 15 Storeys High.
Victor Meldrew.
Albert and Harold Steptoe.

Sorry to be boring and predictable on the comedy front but it has to be Daisy.

On the serious side that'd be Columbo. Strange choice but I have fond memories of those shows in my youth.


JJM

I was in this little wooden cabin one time with my friends and we talked deep into the night about columbo, one of the single funniest times of my life.

Tony Soprano

He told me his wife thought you were terrific.


JJM

Yosser Hughes

and Gonch.

Eh?

What's Yosser got to do with Gonch (Grange Hill?)?

nothing, sorry. The 'and' was because I already posted earlier.

Ah, I see, but now I'm thinking of Grange Hill, I have to put forward Tucker Jenkins, the orignal and the best.

BA Baracus

Fox Mulder (The X Files),
Data (Star Trek TNG),
Detective Munch (Homicide Life on the Street),

Dr. Samuel Beckett (Quantum Leap),
Nate Fisher (Six Feet Under)
Shane 'Goose' Gooseman (Galaxy Rangers),

and there must be more, but that's enough for now!

daisy steniner
lisa simpson
jane lane
willow rosenberg
father dougal

ooh heck i forgot manny. love him!

oh and also ricky from my so-called life, i love teen shows

Oh god, he was amazing. I loved him.

Tch. Rayanne was clearly the best character from MSCL. I desperately wanted to be her, but unfortunately was just a more whiny, less cool version of Angela.

Anyway, my favourite character is currently Vince Noir from the Mighty Boosh (sorry, but I'm new to the Boosh and you know what fledgling obsessions are like. I'll shut up about it in a few days).

Nah, don't stop!

By the way, what in god's name is your signature from?

Hee hee! It's from Monkey Dust. It might be slightly misquoted, though, as I did it from memory. I'll be changing it to a Boosh quote soon.

The Doctor

Does it refer to ejaculation? Because I always thought that was spelt 'cum' - not that I've had cause to write it that often.


(except in my other career as an author of erotic novels for the over 50s)

I take it back the OED agrees with you!

5. [f. COME v.] Semen ejaculated at sexual climax, esp. spilt ejaculate. Also (rarely), fluid secreted by the vagina during sexual play. Cf. COME v. 17. slang.

1923 J. MANCHON Le Slang 90 Come, sperme. 1967 R. BRAUTIGAN Trout Fishing in Amer. 25 The walls, the floor and even the roof of the hut were coated with your sperm and her come. 1969 P. ROTH Portnoy's Complaint 183 Tell me! what did she do with your hot come! 1976 Miss London 23 Aug. 12/4 His attitude to sex is ambivalent. ‘Each night I had to clean the come off the back seat of the cab,’ he remarks in reasonable disgust.

Tee hee - spilt ejaculate!

(I'm so mature)

Aha! Don't question my knowledge of the spelling of sexual slang, young lady.

Actually, I was going to spell it 'cum' (cos, yes, it does refer to ejaculate) but that just looks like something a 14 year old boy would write.

Who?

G'Kar

Any particular actor playing him?
Or do you just like the character in general?

Cheers
AC

oooh, i like this one...

Dr. John Truman Carter (ER)
Alexander thingy (QAF)
Howard T.J. Moon (The Mighty Boosh)
Jill Tyrrel (Nighty Night)


and not telly, but I love Colin Hoult's (Of Colin & Fergus) characterisation of Morrissey. Which the need to bring back. Now. DAMMIT!

The character in general.

All the people who have played him have had their moments - though some have been a lot more than others

I'll add Morse to my list as well.

Tom Baker was always the definitive Doctor in my mind.
I'm quite partial to Jon Pertwee and Peter Davidson too.

I think it's really just based on the age I was when they were transmitted and the era I grew up with



Oh and I also love Kif and Morbo from Futurama

Cheers
AC

Having been buying up the DVD releases I'd have to say that Tom Baker is probably the most enjoyable Doctor to watch but they all have their own strengths. I grew up watching the Baker/Davidson/Baker/McCoy stories (the eighties in other words ) and the ones I remember the best are Davidsons. Pertwee is probably my least favourite Doctor, but then again I've not seen may of his stories . . .

The whole cast of Futurama work so well together. I wish it was still going instead of the simpsons
Oh yeah, i forgot about Yes Minister. Humphrey is one of the funniest characters ever created.

Other than that:
Derek Jacobi as Claudius
Mendosa from Mysterious Cities of Gold
Penfold

Mysterious Cities of Gold! Someone else who remembers that! I used to love it but wasn't one of them called Towel? I remember Esteban and Zia.

Towel? I dunno, i haven't seen them in aages. I'll have to watch them all again

Maybe it was Tao or something.

For the curious or those not possessing it, a little reminder - rename the file to .wmv or tell Windows to open it using Mediaplayer - it'll probably get it.

The Prisoner

Zoe from 'Cybil'

Agent Dale Cooper

Buffy

Angel

Wesley

Fred (ah.....sweet, sweet Fred )

Marcy in 'Grosse Point' (Lindsay Sloanes' character)

Cliff Claven

Niles Crane

many, many more.

Vince and Howard from the Boosh (sort of needs both of them to work) and Richard E. Grant as the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Pertwee was the first doctor I watched. I used to watch him in "Catweazle" around about the same era. Always liked him and yet found him slightly scary at the same time
Tom Baker is the most Doctor-ish Doctor in my mind (not meaning that he seems like a GP, just meaning that he suits the character - or defines the character)
And I always liked Peter Davidson too (and remember watching him in All Creatures Great and Small with my mum around the same time as his Dr Who era)
I never watched any of the McCoy episodes, I think by then I was old enough to be turning into a real girl and doing girl-stuff instead of watching Dr Who. lol.




Oh! Clau clau!
I loooooooove Derek Jacobi in that.
He was sooooo fantastic!

Futurama was fantastic. Sometimes better to end on a high though, rather than keep dragging on and on until it's all turned to shite.
Yes Minister was a complete classic. And so scarily accurate even now!

Do you mean Penfold from Danger Mouse? I love him too!
"Ooh Crumbs!"




I always loved Cooper!

And I adore Niles!


You folks have good taste

Cheers
