To ask you for your top 3 sitcom characters ever?

[CheapSausagesAndSpam]

3 isn't many is it?

Here's mine

Jill Tyrell-Nighty Night
David Brent even though he annoys me so much
Basil Fawlty

Now people will come along with theirs and I'll think I've chosen the wrong ones!

DOAsYouWould - mmmm I'm not sure that's a compliment, tbh

Martin from Friday night dinner, lovely bit of squirrel! And Jim.. shalom Jackie!

Loving this thread. I'm a great fan of Liz Smith (RIP) - both The Vicar of Dibley and The Royle Family.

Frasier
Father Ted

Juries out on the 3rd, the contenders would be Blackadder, Bernard Black or Manny ("Right now, I'm eating scrambled eggs, with a comb, from a shoe!") from Black Books. But definitely Frasier and Ted.

I also see Niles mentioned too, there's another contender!!

George Costanza stands high on a pinnacle above all others

Many characters from Arrested Development - both Lucilles are great favourites of mine

I also love Beverley Goldberg, and Eric Cartman, plus Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer (also from Seinfeld).

Hyacinth Bouquet
Del Boy
Mrs Brown

Terry Collier
Norman Stanley Spencer
Harold Steptoe

Jim royale
Hycynith Bucket
Del Boy
Rodney

Sir Humphrey Appleby,
Reggie Perrin,
Wolfe Smith.

All 4 leads from Will & Grace - so glad they brought it back
Barney Stinson - How I Met Your Mother
Russell Dunbar - Rules of Engagement

Used to love Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory as well but he's been getting a bit annoying

Jonny (Friday Night Dinner) - love the whole cast but have a soft spot for Tom Rosenthal
Navid (Still Game)
Becky (Detectorists)

Moss
Bernadette Rostenkowski
Raymond Holt

Victor Meldrew, Del Boy, and Chandler from 'Friends'.

Herr Flick
Lt Gruber from 'Allo 'allo
Noot in all gas and Gaiters

Alice Tinker - The Vicar of Dibley
Vyvyan - The Young Ones

Too many good ones to choose from but I think I will have to go with Richard and Eddie from bottom and Sue White from Green Wing.

Sue White (Green Wing)

Patsy Stone (AbFab)

Father Jack (actually, if we were allowed 5, I'd include Father Ted and Father Dougal as well).

Phoebe
Niles
Lesley Knope

Everyone in Father Ted
Niles Crane
Margot Leadbetter

Meena (Still Game)
Jean Ralphio (Parks and Rec)
Dirty Randy (The League)

Honorary mention to Karen Walker, my inspiration in life, line managent and services to vodka.

Another vote for Jill from nighty-night ( call what he did to those women building?
Vince and Howard from MTB
Mildred from George and Mildred

Of course, vince from the mighty boosh! Whatcha doing in these waters

So many that have been mentioned already (Rodney, Basil Fawlty, Rimmer, Niles, Alistair from As Time Goes By, Father Ted/Dougal/Jack, Nessa, Captain Holt & Kevin, everyone from Friday Night Dinner...)

I would go for:

1. Patrick from One Foot in the Grave. (In fact everyone from OFITG, it's my favourite ever sitcom - the car episode reminds me so much of me, DH and my best friend).

1. Gary from Men Behaving Badly (he's a twat but I love him), with Tony a close second ("You can't release me into the community!"). Love all four of them actually.

1. Raymond Fowler from The Thin Blue Line. Totally underrated sitcom.
