Favourite 'Crown' landlord - Les or Ken?

Its a tough decision since the landlord is a minor part, but i preferred Ken.. His character utilised humour without being irritating, which i found Les to be at times.. thats just IMO though. What does everyone else think?

Well, John Thompson from the Fast Show played Ken, and I've always been a fan of his Work, so I'd say Ken. Les did have his moments though.

Les by far, I think he is hilarius. Personally I find Ken's charcter to be rather dull and uninteresting.

yeah I prefered Ken too. Although Les was funny at times.

Les was fantastic. The scene with him telling them how he bellowed after "Maureen" was genius. Agree with the earlier post - Ken was a bit dull. And Les' quiz night was brilliant "in which film did Britt Ekland first get her kit off"

Cambridge man you know. His uncle Bertie and I used to break wind for our college.

Les.

Ken, definitely. Although Les has his funny moments, John Thomson makes me laugh more as Ken.

[from Jingle B***s!]
GARY: King Ken?
KEN: Yes, one of the three Kings. Bringing Gold, Frankincense and Mrrrh for the Baby Jesus.
DOROTHY: What did you bring?
KEN: Mrrrh!

[from Cowardice]
KEN: Look if you're gonna fight, can you......erm......
TONY: Do it outside.
KEN: ......do it outside!

TONY: So Ken, have you always wanted to be a barman?
KEN: Yes, yes I have.....no, no I haven't actually. I thought you were going to say be a door-mobile.

And this one, which does involve Ken...

[from Cardigan]
DOROTHY: Tony, who gave you these directions?
TONY: Ken.
DOROTHY: RIGHT! That's it. We're going home!

That's a coin-flipper, all right. But I think I have to give Les the edge. Especially if you like cringe-worthy, just barely this side of digusting type humour.

[–] Dahlia_Neda 14 years ago

Didn't particularly like either, but I'd have to pick Les. Ken was so cringeworthy.

Both had their funny moments, neither would in reality get a license to run a pub :)

Les was ok but Ken was better.

[–] bangban_tribudiman 13 years ago

i prefered Les. But as stated before they are two very different characters

[–] j-c-s-f-akkerman 12 years ago

Les, but he let himself go
