The World's Greatest Comedy Characters Page 2

Even though it showed the same old clips, I like different brief histories of the shows/characters.

It seemed more like the best sitcoms rather then characters. They seemed to pick the star of the show rather then the supporting characters(if thats the right name).

I'd rather pick George in Seinfeld rather then Jerry.
Mike in Spaced rather then Tim.

O.k not the best argument in the world, but just thought I'd mention it.

But Tim was narrating. It would have been rude.

Did they pick David Mitchell in Peep Show, or was it both of them? I wasn't paying attention.

Just Mark, which I agree with, although there's nothing wrong with Jeremy.

I suppose he is better.
But it feels like they should be treated as one, like Ant & Dec always are in 'best presenter' at the TV Baftas.

But Ant and Dec are pretty much the same person. :)

:O

I suppose it does save the judges from having to work out which is which.

I caught a bit in the middle and it's good to watch odd bits and pieces. That included Guy's Green Wing bit with Michelle Gomez asking him to get his cock out. I must buy it sometime but I refuse to pay about 40 odd quid for it.

They're only two people because one body couldn't possibly handle that much evil.

I preferred your list Lewis apart I’ll have Eddie from Early Doors over Tommy

And replace Basil will Nana from the Royle Family

No mention of Arnold Rimmer. Surprised me.

Dan

1 Del and Rodney (together)
2 Frasier and Niles Crane
3 Ted Crilly
4 Bob Louis and Dave Briggs
5 Basil Fawlty
6 Rupert Rigsby
7 Norman Stanley Fletcher
8) Derek Grim

Good list Dave, although 4 and 8 wouldn't make my list.

I don't even know who they are.
