You do have to wonder who votes in these polls - but if the readers of Loaded magazine truly believe that one-trick-pony Harold Bishop is the best "bloke" of all-time in soap opera, then who am I to argue?
ReplyDeleteMy personal vote for best-ever "bloke" would be given to Neighbours' wingnut-eared bank manager and perennial underdog Des Clarke. No finer example of an all-round good bloke.
From Corrie? Look no further than Kevin Webster for mine. Top bloke, and one I'd love to go for a few beers and a curry with.
(Despite this Molly nonsense)
I think perhaps the best bloke in soap is Jack Duckworth.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree about Jack. Fred's not even around anymore. Almost irrelevant, isn't it?
