    Are there any examples of favourite TV programmes that had had one or more characters who made you groan whenever they appeared?For me a few would be.

    Hodges the air raid warden in Dads Army.I know he was supposed to be a foil to Mainwaring but I never could stand him and his aggressive interfering.

    The next door neighbours in Keeping Up Appearances especially Emmet,an utter pain and the guy who played him was a terrible actor.

    Mrs Doyle.(Father Ted)Just never found her funny.

    Freddie, the guy who clearly doesn't care about health and safety or any kind of cleaning who is also a convicted criminal who dashes his grandsons dreams before they even form?

    Nah, everyone on House of Cards

    Carmela Soprano is utterly loathsome. She was written that way. David Chase despises her.

    I know a lot of people disliked him but personally I quite enjoyed Simon Moon one of the all time classic episodes (Dark side of the Moon) is one that he features heavily in.

    Also Brian Cox as Daphne's father was hilarious.

    Rachel in Suits, I fúcking hate her and don't understand how anyone could possibly like or sympathise with her. Although in the last couple of seasons most of the characters in that show have gone to shít.

    I watched the first 2 episodes of Entourage and hated every single character. Never watched any more.

    Didn't like Jeri Ryan's character in Leverage much but I really really dislike the ultra confident intern in Bones, Jessica Warren.

    +1 for me. Despise that character.

    The pink feathery stuff on the pen....ffs!!!!! What's the deal with her character and Dereck Morgan??

    Also don't like Spencer Reid from the same program. Nobody can be that bloody intelligent.

    Her sister is way more annoying,but Skyler is probably more moraly reprehensible.

    Any unnecessary character who's added to a long established show in an attempt to boost ratings.Any child of the late 70s/80s will agree that Scooby Doo went downhill when they introduced his nephew Scrappy.An annoying little git who added nothing positive to it.

    I agree … but I also love to hate him if you know what I mean.

    I feel the same about Diane in Cheers.

    I quite like Raquel. I thought her character was well written and her interaction with Del formed the basis of some classic episodes. Cassandra is terrible though, and very badly acted by Gwyneth Strong.

    However, I couldn't disagree with you more about their contribution to the series. They were introduced when John Sullivan went to the long format episodes and introduced more dramatic elements. That's when the series really took off. The continuity between the longer episodes really enriched the show.

    What killed it stone dead was the final run of episodes. They should have stopped when they became millionaires.
