The whole cast merged together for the good stuff, especially in the last series, with Blackadder being somewhat of a guide. ANd I am absolutely kicking myself at Alf Garnett. He's one of my all time favourites and I can't believe I forgot about him! Blackadder was a thought – but for me it’s a group effort.

ANd I am absolutely kicking myself at Alf Garnett. He’s one of my all time favourites and I can’t believe I forgot about him!

Add "Insanity" Melched to the list and Captain Darling as well and, I think you've got a fanstastic and funny team. Alf Garnett also gets a mention for being a brilliant way to show off the stupidity of racism. Frank Spencer gets a nod too, for being utterly hopeless and yet endearing because he's always trying to be a better man.

Shameful! I'm surprised you kept the list so short. Father Dougal, Edmund Blackadder and all your honorable mentions would have made excellent additions!

I was tempted to put them higher, but Fawlty and Meldrew have always been brilliant characters for me. The annoying thing is, I decided to do this and realised how many great characters there are. Unfortunately, they're the only Americans to make the list (and I couldn't decide between the two). In quality I’d agree.

However, a professional who opts to slag me off on an unrelated matter - whether on behalf of someone or not - does not deserve space on this blog. Thank you.
