Fav characters

[Mrs blamire (i wish)]

Apologies if this has already been asked but I was curious to see who people’s favourite characters from LOTSW was! And why if possible?
Mines blamire (though I do love a lot of characters, it is hard to pin them down to one..especially when the show’s era’s have their own different “flavours” if you know what I mean)
Because even though if I met an actual person like him in real life, we’d probably rub each other the wrong way...(bit like compo and blamire I guess??) but on the show I find him and the actor of course absolutely adorable

 

[Electrical Entwistle]

Sid and Seymour have always been top of the list for me. Also, liked the delivery of his lines by Wally which is always a delight. From the early show I'm with you on Blamire and from the later years I enjoyed Truley and Entwistle and of course, Billy.

There were only a couple that didn't hit the mark.

Mine would be Seymour, many times he looked happy to be there, while others were talking he would often be smiling

 

[Peripheral]

Mine was Sid. So dry, so casual and very much under the thumb.

 

[Glenda]

My Barry.

 

[Peripheral]

My Barry.

You have made me jealous.

 

[captain clutterbuck]

Too many to chose from would have to plump for Foggy if pushed

My "avatar " explains my favourite, closely followed by Seymour !

 

[Roger]

Glenda is my favourite.

Wally's timing and delivery were absolutely first class...and you had genuine sympathy for the situation he was in..you really felt for him...and he had a smile which would light up the room !!.
I love Howard,because Robert Fyfe put so much effort into playing him for such a long period of time.....as with the vast majority of the cast he was an amazing actor...some of the slapstick and comedy scenes which involve him are genuinely hilarious..he tried SO HARD to "CRACK IT"...always failed,but had such verve and passion to conjour up another plan.
Sid was wonderful,and I always feel he could have been used more...his involvement with episodes like "enter the phantom",here we go again into the wild blue yonder" "getting Sam home" and "from wellies to wet suit" showed he had real comic talent,and a wonderful laid back delivery.
I completely agree with Pearl...Seymour looked like he really wanted to be there....and he was the glue that bound everyone together again.
Compo,Foggy....I simply have too many "favourite characters".....I would be here all afternoon !!!!.

I have to say I loved seeing Sid in the cafe. The way he used to interact with Compo Clegg and Foggy was so good. He loved Ivy, but he always acted like one of the gang on the occasions he was away from her.

Mine has to be Wally batty, an amazing actor who personified the hen pecked husband to perfection. Believe it or not Hobbo would be my close second, a very likeable third man who could have really galvanised the series and taken it to a new generation if the BBC hadn't dropped the axe.
