Favourite/ least favourite character?


Tyso the gypsy was my favourite character as a kid, he seemed pretty cool.

My least favourite was Andrew the scottish kid with the power of "Mah hallucinatin's". His high pitched scratch voice was capable of making me violent even as an 8 year old.

John was my favourite, usually calm and in control.

Kenny was the most annoying as his acting was hopeless.

Carol was easily my favorite character. The coughing green alien in the bad rubber suit was my least fave.

Gotta say that I'm so disappointed in myself... At 35 years old, I think I must face up to the reality that I'm past the age of breaking out. Too bad... It would be so much easier to jaunt than to fly these days.

I have to say that my favorite was Elizabeth. I just loved the outfits that she always wore (like the Russian outfit and Telephone clean lol), and she always gave me the impression that she was stronger then she let on. The look she gave Tricia before she "Opened up" her mind to her was on of pure evil.

My least favorite was Kenny followed very closely by Carol. The way she talked annoyed the hell out of me. "STEPHEN! JOHN, we have to help STEPHEN!"
She's way too panicy.

I use to watch the show when I was 12-14 (maybe up to 16 but I don't remember) so I was in junior high at the time and my best friend Christine's favorite character was Tyso also. She was totally in love with him and I was totally in love with Stephen.

We use to "rush home from school" to watch them at my house. But then her father got orders to Germany and I lost touch with her. :( Every time I watch the show I think about her and wonder if she has a copy and if she does does she think of me when she watches them...

Well anyway I guess I'd have to say that Kenny was my least favorite; obviously neither he nor Husi Hai were that popular other wise they wouldn't have killed them off in the Audio Dramas.

My favorite characters in order.

John comes off as the big brother of the group. Tucking Kenny in, teaching Mike to fly a glider, etc. He was clever and insightful enough that he could always see the other characters strong points and but he was wise enough to recognize that he wasn't always right.

Elizabeth always appeared to me as John's feminine half. Whereas Carol was a bit whiny, Elizabeth would call John on the carpet when he was wrong. I don't know what the general consesus was, but when I was watching the episodes with John and Elizabeth, especially the Heart of Sargouth I always felt like if any of the characters were to couple up it would be these two.

Tyso, the actual big brother of the group. We saw Stephen's family once and we only learned John's father was a police sergeant late in the series. Seeing Tyso and knowing the important part he played in his family and their Gypsy comminuty gave you a bit of respect for the guy.

Mike Bell. I love Stephen, don't get me wrong. But Mike had a lot more street smarts. Stephen kind of had this ideal upbringing which led to him whining a number of times when ever he had to actually go the distance for the team. Mike voluntarilly put himself in danger without expecting any kind of reward and he actually had a goal to boot, which as Tim pointed out in the beginning of Blue and Green, puts both him and Elizabeth more or less in touch with the world.

I've always felt the same way about John and Liz. In fact I think they would have made the perfect couple.

I could have seen John & Elizabeth as a couple too.

My favorite was Stephen. Never stopped loving him. I guess my least favorite was Carol or Hsu-Ti (sp?). Neither character interested me very much.

I have to say Elisabeth for me. She just seemed to have the most personality of all of them. I do wish that all of them could of been in an episode together and I think it sucked when Stephen and Mark were not on the show together

reply

Favorite was definitely Elizabeth. Least favorite was Hsui Tai followed by Kenny.

I always had a crush on John - and I, too, thought he and Liz would be a couple. Also loved Tyso and couldn't believe his stay on the show was so short!

Didn't like Kenny, Carol, or Hsui Tai.

I've never gotten hold of the audio adventures, but would LOVE too!

:)

Big Finish did the audio they finished making them a couple of years ago, but you might be able to still get them on E-bay.

My favourite was always (and still is) Stephen, followed by Tim. It was nice to see that Philip Gilbert was avuncular in person, too, and looked out for them while not endorsing some of the worst scrapes they got in. RIP.

John would have to be my favourite but Liz, Stephen and Mike were pretty good too(and TIM of course)and Andrew showed a lot of promise.Probably have to say Kenny was least favourite on the grounds he was just...sort of...there.Actually don't mind Carol that much, she's got a good big sister vibe about her although I agree she was a bit too shrill at times.It would have been interesting to see if they'd have toned her down if she'd stayed longer.
