    UK gold will be revealing their results next week after polling people.....
    Who would you choose?

    Tough choices -Basil Fawlty , Rigsby, Del Boy, Fletch , Hyacinth , Vicar of Dibley ....

    Got to be honest -I'd go for Basil Fawlty ...

    Del Boy.

    As great as Fawlty is, Del is and will always be the nations favourite.

    Steptoe & Son are always right up there on my comedy list, but you can't have one of them without the other...

    Tough to choose between Basil or Del Boy. Basil just pips it for me.

    Honourable mentions for
    Mrs Slocombe
    Father Dougal McGuire
    Onslow (Keeping Up Appearances)
    Frank Spencer

    Partridge. Absurd if he’s not in the running.

    Basil for me. Timeless classic. Still makes me laugh whenever I watch an episode.
    Always like to watch Sellers as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther whenever they
    are shown on TV.

    If I could just have one it would have to be Basil Fawlty but definite mentions to
    Norman Stanley Fletcher
    Queen Elizabeth in Blackadder II
    Del Boy
    and somewhat left field Sue White from Green Wing

    Del Boy and Rodney. Absolutely brilliant casting.

    Blackadder and Baldrick also deserve to be on the list.

    Frank Spencer from a bit further back in time.
