Favourite Character/Characters in TIE?



Who have you liked the most?

Mine has been Woody and Combo.

I would have loved Meggy to have had more involvement throughout these series though.
I will never forget him making me cry of laughter in the film saying ...
'How can you *beep* live like this? There's not even a mouldy twiglet'
I loved him from that very moment! Ahah :)

Combo as he was the most complex. Even when he was spoken about in the series spin-offs or had a short scene with Lol, Shaun etc he commanded the screen. Woody Lol and Shaun second. Horrific character but Mick was amazingly written and the acting to bring him to life was out of this world.

Combo. Graham is an excellent actor and the character of Combo as well as his portrayal makes me miss him when he's not on screen. He's one of those special characters who steal almost every scene. Wish he had been better explored in the series.

Gadget! Funny cnut!

Combo and Woody

I think Lol was lovely too and Shaun and his mum




Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you

reply

I will add Shaun Hefner due to being able to attract any woman he so desires.

reply

Woody and Combo for me too.

Then Lol, Smell, Shaun, Gadge Harv and Cynthia in that order.

The rest are cool, but ranked about the same after them. There isn't a character that I dislike in this.

OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...

I like flip and higgy they always make me laugh every time they show up

Woody.
Just for the ability to make you laugh till your sides ache then cry till your throat aches in the space of two minutes.
Woody's reunion with Lol at the end of '88 broke me.

Hello I-I'm Harvey & I've come to give you jip

Haha! I love the way he says C^NT. It's hilarious.
Joe Gilgun is just so funny, more so as Rudy in Misfits though.

I agree ... as soon as Trev turns up and tells him about it, it just gets so emotional from there. The love he has for Lol is just so real and true and he simply cannot be without her.
It was heartbreakingly beautiful.

I want my own Woody :(
Or for Joe Gilgun to just marry me haha.

I want my own Woody :(

Same here. I love Lol and Woody's relationship. Even more sweet in '90 that Woody has taken Milky's daughter on and they have a little boy. I want them to be real! The characters are so much like real people, flawed and human, that it feels as though they are.

 It's indie rock and roll for me 

Has to be Smell for me...
