Rab C Nesbitt
A dirty, skiving, foul-mouthed, sexist drunkard, Nesbitt represents an odd choice for a Scots comedy icon, but Gregor Fisher managed to make the character live, even suggesting the vulnerability and humanity beneath the appalling surface.

Reggie Perrin
An existential hero, Reggie saw through everything to the bleak and bitter pointlessness of modern life. Hence the disappearing act at the end of series one and the surreal twists and turns of this hugely unconventional series. Another masterly performance from Leonard Rossiter.

Rene - 'Allo 'Allo
A character from a simpler age of TV comedy, when the mention of boobies and a bit of slap'n'tickle in the cupboard with a saucy French maid was more than enough to entertain the family at tea-time.

Rick - The Young Ones
A middle class revolutionary of the most despicable kind, Rick was about as radical as his great idol, Cliff Richard, but thought he was going to smash the system by writing rubbish poetry, not going to lectures and calling everyone a fascist.

Rigsby - Rising Damp
Leonard Rossiter brought to Rigsby an almost impossible appeal. Despite his meanness, snobbery, nosiness, racism and general snivelling rancour, there was a neediness that set him apart from the pure comedy monster. Watch him and weep.
