Top Five Fictional Characters

On what criteria? Clearly, Atticus Finch is a more impactive and important fictional character than Rachel Green. But I'd rather look like Rachel.

He would have been in my top 5!!!

Alongside Dr Christian grey from 50 shades....and 3 others, il return to this!!

1. Captain Mal Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity. You need to watch this. 2. Angel from Angel 3. Tony Stark from Iron Man 4. Hurley from Lost 5. Barney Stinson- HIMYM

? I havnt heard of any of these people.

Phew. Thought it was just me!

To quote the buffy-bot, "Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid." :-) Love Mal. Have you watched Castle?

Ooooh good question - I reckon my answer to this would vary periodically but at the moment I'd say the following. I've stuck to 'good guys' - I think I'd have a different list for 'bad guys'

In no particular order...

1 - The Cheeryble Brothers in Nicholas Nickleby

2 - Aragorn (LotR)

3 - George Hall (the retired hypochondriac from whose perspective A Spot of Bother is told).

4 - Wall-E

5 - Mr Darcy

I am not sure how I narrowed it down to this list...

1. Del Boy Trotter

2. Scott & Charlene (am I allowed these as one pick?)

3. Baby Houseman

4. Eric Northman

5. John Coffey

James Bond - although it's said the character wasn't completely fictional as Ian Flemming was a secret spy himself. I'm still claiming him as my top fictional character though.

Cinderella - she cooked, cleaned, sewed AND scored with the hot guy at the end.

Spiderman - he's a spider. And a man.

John Mcclane - no explantation needed.

Fitzwilliam Darcy - because he's so romantic!

Surely this is the ONLY way to secure the hot guy.

New fangled education, independent woman, grumble grumble, never get a man that way.

G'ah, have just realised that I missed a fab opportunity here...

Bridget Jones In no particular order...I don't think...crumbs this is difficult! I'm on my blackberry on the train so this whole post will be crunched up now and not in the nice, spaced out list I've created *sigh*

No particular order...

Joey Bettany/Maynard (I will be amazed if any of you know who she is!)

Dr Patrick Spiller (Casualty ~10 years ago)

Elizabeth Bennett

Dr Claire Maitland (Cardiac Arrest ~15 years ago - total legend)

I am torn over my favourite Terry Pratchett character who should get the 5th slot - it's between Vimes, Lord Vetinari and Death.

well played

Winston Smith - 1984

Inigo Montoya - The Princess Bride

Frank 'n' furter - The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Elizabeth Bennet - Pride and Prejudice

Roxy Hart - Chicago

These are the first five that came to mind...it would probably be very different tomorrow.
