Anomosity is no friend of mine but I have to say that I think my brother in law is about the only affable lawyer I have ever come accross.

*snigger*

I am equally perturbed by the suggestion I am stereotyping. I am simply pointing out that characters who I have seen on television who come from a particular refion are similar to people who I have met in real life who come from that particular region. This is not to say that the character in question representated everyone from thaty particular region but simply that the writers observations were uncannly in keeping with my experience.

Then I suggest you make this clear because it comes across that you have a large tarnish brush and are using it quite liberally.

Is he using poster paint?

Mike just couldn't act and any lines he had that were supposed to be funny just fell flat.

A typical jobs for your mates.

Not really. The part was written for Peter Richardson, but the Beeb insisted on recasting. In any case he was probably the best thing about that benighted programme.

Anyway, most annoying sitcom character has to be Cpl Jones surely?

I never liked Mike either.

Mike was and is, class.

Captain Darling - Blackadder Goes Forth
Krtyen - Red Dwarf
Twist - Spaced

You are clearly one of those mentals you hear about.

Yes but he's a good annoying character. You want him to be annoying cos he's so brilliant at it.

Darling was practically my favourite character!

Brilliant ey? A brilliant character you say? No, Lord Percy was a brilliant character, Captain Darling was just irritating. Let's not use the word brilliant lightly, as othewise, everything is...er, brilliant!

I really like Rich Fulcher's characters - Bob Fossil, Lester Corncrake, etc. and I totally 'get it' with what he's trying to portray.

Just remembered another irritating character, Bobby Wheeler, the curly fro, wannabe actor in bollock hugging jeans from US show Taxi.

(FOLDS ARMS AND STICKS OUT BOTTOM LIP) Wasn't.

Permission to disagree strongly! Jones is ace.

I'm sure IT David knows exactly what he's doing, as do the rest of us.

Griff, please expand on this point.
