There could only be one, Compo from Last of the Summer Wine.

Sandra in New Tricks. Her confidence in every area except her immediate family, coupled with her approachability and willingness to stand up for truth and justice resonated in me.

If anyone, I think I relate to Barbara in The Good Life - you know, make do and mend, gardening and all the domestic stuff, even though I loathe dusting.
I'm not interested in the latest bag, clothes, hairstyles etc though I'd draw the line at having one trouser leg different to the other and riding on a modified lawnmower to the shops.

Children's TV series,"The Pogles" had a comment by the rustic Dad, Amos Pogle, when his wife reprimanded him for shouting and singing, telling him to be quiet.
"I shall be quiet when I am in churchyard, plenty of time for it then, till then I shall shout and sing all I like"
Yes, Amos-me too!

Hyacinth Bucket according to DH!!!! But I hasten to add he is NOT like Mr Bucket at all

Grantchester

I think the nearest to me is the Vicar of Dibley! I am not overweight or a vicar, but I tend to be down to earth, and good at organizing things and fairly sensible and wise. I also like chocolate!

I would love to come somewhere close to Ness in Gavin and Stacey.....oh to have that confidence.......I've got that shape, its a start.

Lupin Sat 10-Jun-17 10:20:34

I'd love to say Darcey Bussell but I really, really don't think so. Opposite ends of almost every spectrum. The only similarities I can come up with are that we're both alive and have a sense of humour.

Samantha from Bewitched.
one twitch of Mum's nose and the bank of Mum & Dad swings into action.
DH would be according to DGC
Grandpa in my pocket .
Their mantra is 'Grandad will fix it!'

I have racked my brains and I really don't think there is a character that even comes close to me. The plot in my particular soap opera would not be boring, but might get very complicated.

I could write a cast list though. wink

Karen in Cold Feet - I wish!
Love her house especially the kitchen.

Scarlett O'Hara!!! grin

I'm another Ma Larkin.

Arry Sat 10-Jun-17 09:18:40

Nora Batty!!

Christinefrance Sat 10-Jun-17 08:54:05

Definitely Ena Sharples. grin

Pippa000 Sat 10-Jun-17 05:36:30

I loved Butterflies too. We have several cars as it is a multi-generational house, and still say we are playing at Butterflies when we have to get the blocked one out of the drive grin

Alima Fri 09-Jun-17 22:02:27

Rhia (sp) in Butterflies, at least as far as cooking goes. Remember the custard with an identity crisis?

merlotgran Fri 09-Jun-17 21:54:37

I'd like to say Demelza Poldark but I'm fifty years too late.

Sigh.

Not a big telly fan, but a wee spell of bed boundness has left me watching more than usual.
I'm relating to Ma Larkin from Darling Buds of May!
