I will be shocked if number 1 doesn’t happen to be a Member of Parliament for Flydale North, if you know who they are :wink:

I had a hard time choosing my third Lynda with a Y or Clive.

I do love Lynda but Simon Callow’s Dickens is wonderful so I picked him over her. Jabe is another close contender for the top 3. Harriet and Nancy are actually vying for the top spot.

I suspect Pete shouldn’t have been on the list, since while he doesn’t reoccur as often as Jackie, he has popped up a few times. I definitely had to vote for him, though!

I have a soft spot for Jabe after seeing Yasmin Bannermen at TimeLash last year.

It was more about characters who recur in Series 1.

I don’t get the appeal of Harriet Jones. She is 1 joke that gets annoying after the third time.

The actor does great with what little she is given, though.

You missed a big guest star, @deltaandthebannermen. Where’s Simon Pegg?

I avoided anyone who was a villain for reasons which will become apparent (I also left out Zoe Wanamaker, Zoe Thorne (voice of the Gelth) and Corey Johnson (Van Statten) for example).
