For me its Alice Tinker from the Vicar of Dibley. She was the standout star for me 🌟 . Also James Dreyfus in The Thin Blue Line. Funniest character by a mile. Oh and Niles in Frasier 😍

Pam and Mick in Gavin and Stacey were fabulous, although all of the side characters in that show were great.

My favourite was Doris she was hilarious

Lana Parilla in Once Upon a Time

Dame Maggie in Downtown.

Sheldon’s mum in TBBT.

Sister Michael in Derry Girls

Sheila in Detectorists.

Definitely sister Michael

Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

"You. 10:45. And bring a friend."

Apparently he went through the script meticulously rewriting it to create a more in-depth character!

Yes he died last year, only 50. He’d had a lot of health problems for years.

SheilaFentiman · 04/08/2025 22:20

Donna in Suits

Sara Gilbert in Roseanne. I was going to say Laurie Metcalf, but thinking about all the things I’ve seen her in, I think she’s the ultimate team player - she makes everything better, without taking all the limelight.

James Thingy who played Mr Collins in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Back of the net.

MrsMoastyToasty · 04/08/2025 22:35

Pauline McLynn as Mrs Doyle in Father Ted.

Ness in Gavin and Stacey.

I was looking him up and reading about him , what a shame.

I saw somewhere that Stewart and his girlfriend.Denise? are getting a spinoff show.

Raymond Reddington - The Blacklist.

My 82 year old Dad still starts giggling when he thinks of Alice's wedding in The Vicar of Dibley. So I reckon he'd agree with you on that one, OP.

Although she's the title character, so should steal the show, I'd also nominate Joan Hickson for Miss Marple. Dithery, easy to underestimate, then - wham - she is Nemesis.

Judiezones · 05/08/2025 14:23

Roz and Martin in Frasier. Both brilliant actors. Such believable characters. Their reactions to Frasier's more pompous moments made the show for me.

Little Chesney in Coronation St, fabulous child actor.

SlinkyDog1 · 05/08/2025 14:33

For me, Eli Gold in The Good Wife. He had some cracking lines and delivered them perfectly.

Echobelly · 05/08/2025 14:35

The TV series of Watchmen was incredible all round, but totally stolen by Jeremy Irons as Ozymandias. He was obviously having such fun being totally evil and unhinged!

Absolutely agree about Roz!

In Motherland, I thought Penny Ryder (Elizabeth) and David Calder (Geoff) who played the in-laws were superb. Especially when crossing the road outside the railway station and the scene in the fish restaurant.

Amy Farrah Fowler really lifted, The Big Bang Theory. She's a great character.

Edited

I preferred it before she came into it.

CymruChris · 05/08/2025 17:56

Sister Michael - Derry Girls

And for different reasons...Morgan Spector - The Gilded Age 😍

BriefHug · 05/08/2025 17:57

Graham Norton in Father Ted, as Father Noel Furlong, Riverdancing in the caravan.

TaborlinTheGreat · 05/08/2025 18:31

Yy to Niles, and Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham!

James Marsters in Buffy. Shohreh Aghdashloo as Avasarala in The Expanse.

I’m now trying and failing to think of anything with Christine Baranski where she hasn’t stolen the show!

She stole the show from EVERYONE in The Birdcage, and one of them was Robin Williams..!
