Middle names of sitcom characters

Some revealed only in one episode and others part of the folklore of the character - but how many Sitcom characters middle names can you remember?

First one to kick it off :-

Robert Scarborough Ferris (Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads)

Rodney Charlton Trotter

Aloysius St John.

Reginald Iolanthe Perrin

Arnold Judas Rimmer

Funnily enough, my mind has gone blank, I can't think of any. The only time you ever hear them on sitcoms is when the main character either gets married or arrested.

Anybody know what the P stood for in Sheriff Roscoe P. Coletrain?

'Goot, goot...Go get 'em Flash!'

Sidney Balmoral James

Albert Ladysmith Steptoe

General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett

Norman Stanley Fletcher

Walter Henry Smith (WH Smith) is the real name of Wolfie Smith from Citizen Smith.

Alan Roderick Statham (Green Wing).

Nice initials.

Leonard Arthur Godber
