Which sitcom character do you love, yet nobody else really speaks of. Which character is to you a legend, but most people don't even think of.
I'm going for Bernard Hedges from Please Sir. A brilliant character in my opinion, yet most people don't remember him.
Martin Bryce in 'Ever Decreasing Circles'
Tom Chance in 'Chance In A Million'
Mrs Johnson, 'Citizen Smith'.

Tom Chance necking a pint then talking in a rough voice for a couple of seconds cracked me up every time.

One of my favourite lines:
Tom: Getting divorced this afternoon.
Alison: You're not married...(worried)...are you Tom?
Tom: Could be actually
Or summink like that
How about Robert Barone's geeky Brother-in-law, on Everybody Loves Raymond? He's only in the show once in a while, but he's hilarious.
Also, the young, blonde gay guy, in 30 Rock.

Me? I'd be talking about Young Mr Grace's nurse (played by Vivienne Johnson) in Are You Being Served? I don't think the character had a name, but she was pure class.

Yeah.

Yes, as my avatar will prove. But he is a well known character.

Yes, wonderfully happy character with a darker side to him.

These characters are regarded as top sitcom characters and are well known. I mean really characters who aren't well known to the average person.
Vienna from Rising Damp. She was a part of what made Rigsby, Rigsby.
Vienna was a boy cat. Trufax.
"People ask why he's called Vienna. If you take this cat to the door - on a night when you'd have to kick a polar bear out, never mind a cat - if he sees another pair of eyes out there, it's 'Goodnight Vienna'."
