You’re favorite fictional character from anything (e.g. book, show, comic, etc.). :smile:

My favourite fictional character has got to be Jesus. He can walk on water, turn water into wine, and resurrect. :-p

Another character that's cool: Martin Ellingham from Doc Martin. Great show and he cracks me up. Anyone else who watches?

Heehee . . . Patrick star :oldlaugh: He's crazy, but I used to like him a lot. I'm not so crazy for the Flintstones and . . . I never heard of "bottle top bill".

I like that show too. Although Martin is of course amusing, I primarily perceive him as a sad character.

Oh girl, now you're just asking for trouble. :oldlaugh:

Personally I find his greatest ability to be the way he can (reportedly) speak into the minds of millions of different people all over the world simultaneously, telling them different things -- indeed telling them to go murder each other. Also impressive: the way he can (apparently) reincarnate himself into (at least) 2 distinct people who were in different rooms at the same psychiatric hospital and both claimed to be Jesus returned. :confused:

That's true. If you finished the last season, you'll see that he's getting better :)

Bert Large and PC Penhale are the humorous guys, too. And of course you have the Doc's receptionists!

Well,... yes, but in some ways he's sadder since he's struggling harder.

Alas, a couple of them remind me of people I've met in real life. :confused:
