You have a few of my old favs there Slippy.

George Russell
Snudge
Battery Sergeant major "shut up" Williams
Grandad

Vera

Endeavour/ Inspector Morse

Barnaby...John Nettles prefer

I like the two hour ITV detective dramas

Mr Whicher   a few years back...based a real detective Mr Whicher

Marple(ITV version) Poirot...in same vein

Inspector Sledge Hammer for those who missed him in the 80s...

Thanks for reminding me about Soap and Burt, he was a great character, and Shelley was a workshy intelligent fella who thought most jobs were beneath him, thanks Slippy.
Tom Chance
Alison Little both the leading characters in Chance in a Million, Brenda Blethyn and Simon Callow were marvellous.

Jeremy Brett   - Sherlock Holmes

Major Harry Kitchener Wellington Truscott - Fairly Secret Army

only a fleeting appearance but archie simpson in minder.
if any character needed a spin off series archie was that man.

Arthur
Terry
Charlie Chisolm
Jones

Nope!

Bebe Glazer- Frasier

Leon- Curb your enthusiasm

Al Bundy- Married with children

Chabuddy g- People just do nothing

It's a long list ....

Larry Hagman as JR in Dallas
Linda Grey as Sue Ellen in Dallas

Timothy Spall as Barry in Auf Wiedersen Pet

Roger Lloyd Pack as Trigger in OFAH

Clare McGlinn as PC Natalie Metcalf in The Cops
Mark Chatterton as Chief Inspector Newland in The Cops

The whole cast of Dad's Army

Brian Wilde as Mr Barrowclough in Porridge

Cliff and Norm in Cheers

Forgot George Cole as Arthur Daley

More modern would be Ed Harris, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris in Westworld.

And that completes a full list of all my favourite show, the only shows that I can think of that I've watched more than once, except Cheers which I've only seen once.

meant to include Evan Rachel Wood instead of Ed Harris twice

Richard Wilson     One Foot in the Grave

I'm a bit surprised Tucker Jenkins (Todd Carty) hasn't had a mention so far. I can remember rushing home from school to watch Grange Hill.

You must have had a long walk!  Started around 5-5.15 iirc.

If I'd thought outside the box I might have said  Roland Rat

Eddie Hitler deserves a mention


Ron Wheatcroft gets my vote though

The Hood in Thunderbirds deserves a mention

and Parker, Lady P's driver

Mutley in Wacky Races

just started watching parks and recreation ( amazon prime ) ron swanson appears to be an addition to my list.
If you like the office  and in particular the american office, can recommend this ( written by same people who wrote the latter )

Supercop, played superbly by Rikki Fulton.

DCI Burnside

Pamela Stephenson on Not the nine O'clock news. Gorgeous to look at, very funny and great at impersonations. Sadly I now watch very little TV apart from Bloomberg finance, Sky News and various sports channels. The main channels are trash.

The mention of news reminds me of Joy Merryweather (D the DD)
