Arkwright - Open All Hours
Some viewers objected to the comedic use of a speech impediment but most loved Ronnie Barker's portrayal of shopkeeper Arnold Arkwright in the long-running comedy Open All Hours. He's a middle-aged miser with a knack of being able to sell anything and everything to any passing visitor to his shop. His nephew, Granville, played by David Jason, is the shop's put-upon errand boy - "Ger-Granville! Fer-fetch yer cloth!"

Arthur Daley
George Cole starred as the loveable wheeler-dealer rogue for over fifteen years (1979-94) in the comedy drama Minder. Daley liked to be thought of as a self-made man and was admired by many as a cheeky hero who got away with foiling the system. He's part of a classic comedy double-act which also features Dennis Waterman as his long-suffering minder Terry.

Avid Merrion
Avid Merrion is the 'number one super fan, here in the world'. Leigh Francis' celebrity stalker with bizarre sexual fantasies, Avid spends most of his time pestering celebrities at functions such as book signings or movie premieres. He doesn't see it as harassment, rather as affectionate worship. His 'skills' were eventually transformed into his own chat show on Bo'Selecta!
