Basil Fawlty

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

Jerry - Good Life (he reminds me of my father)
Mrs Doyle - Fr Ted
Sharon Strezlecki - Kath and Kim (original Australian version obviously)

Oh God I LOVED Kath and Kim!

Rafi from The League

Randy from South Park
Penny from the cancelled far too early Happy Endings.

Delboy
Rodney
David Brent

Alan Partridge

Susie Green (Curb your Enthusiasm)

Mark Corrigan (Peep Show)

Sneaky 4th - Dave (Catastrophe)

Daisy - Spaced
Vyvyan - Young Ones
Toast - Toast of London

Honourable mention to Tobias from Arrested Development (never-nude)

Trigger. Only fools and horses.
Mrs Overall . Acorn Antiques
Arkwright. Open all hours.
Three great actors playing three great characters.

Tom Chance and Brenda Blethyn in Chance in a million ..fabulous series
Tom and Linda out of Gimme , Gimme , Gimme I always wanted the two of them to get together
I also loved Mr Barraclough in Porridge
I know that is 5 but you can't really separate the two couples Can You?

OH my God I nearly forgot Frank and Robert and Marie from ELR
wonderful stuff!

Before I rtft:

Geraldine from VoD
Ace Rimmer from Red Dwarf
Niles Crane from Frasier

Jean (Judi Dench in 'As Time a Goes By).
Basil Fawlty.
Fraser (We're dooomed!') Dad's Army.

George Costanza beats everyone else hands down.

Ooh hmm

Malcolm Tucker
Mrs Doyle

Hmm. Maybe.

Interesting that some mentioned upthread I absolutely can't bear.

Dorothy Zbornak - Golden Girls
Niles - Frasier
Miranda Hobbs - SATC

Malcolm Tucker
Naboo from The Mighty Boosh
Brian Potter
David Brent

I can't count

Uncle Bryn - He is just so subtly funny and I really love him as a character. He puts himself out for everyone else and just wants to be loved. The line about mint Bailey's is one of my favourites ever, along with the fishing trip!

David Brent - A total idiot but an idiot who just wants to be liked. The moment at the end of the Christmas Specials when Dawn and Tim got together and he looked at the camera and smiled, it was genuine warmth and he realised that everything in his life was good. Loved him.

Will from The Inbetweeners - Because he reminds me of me! He's so brilliant, awkward and funny and has the best one liners.

All these characters I'd love to come back!

Oh god, Brian Potter. What a guy! Him and Dave Spikey were one of the best double acts ever!

Pam from Gavin and Stacey
Dwight K Shrute from US Office
Moss from IT crowd

Petula Gordeno - dinnerladies
Phillipa Moorcroft - dinnerladies
Ken - Early Doors

Carlton in fresh Prince of bel air and junior in my wife and kids

Margot Leadbetter
Miss Jones
Malcolm Tucker

Michael from Alan Partridge
Daisy from Spaced
Jermaine from FOTC

Father Ted
Brian from Spaced
Moss from The IT Crowd

Phil Dunphy is awesome, I also have a massive soft spot for Haley (stupid, but at the same time SO clever)

I loved Gunther in Friends. Such a subtle character yet always made his presence felt.

Last but not least, Lennie Godber from Porridge. I loved that man... 😍

There are so many I love! All time favourites must be-
Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses
Ness in Gavin and Stacey
Jennifer Saunders in Ab Fab
