Favourite Fictional Characters | TV & Film

We've been working on an exciting project lately that has lead us to indulge in long conversations about our favourite fictional characters, so we thought we'd share a few of them with you. It'd be really interesting, and extremely helpful, if you could share your favourite fictional characters from TV and film in the comments too! Thanks, guys. We're hoping to bring you lots of adventure posts this summer, so watch this space!

michael scott 

B: I think Michael Scott is one of the cleverest fictional characters of all time. He pretty much always says the wrong thing, apart from those rare occasions when he shows a great deal of compassion towards his colleagues. I don't know anyone that doesn't note Michael Scott as one of their favourite things about The Office. He just brings such an interesting dynamic to the show and to comedy, in general. If you haven't watched it, you really really should. 

georgEs hautecourt 

B: The Aristocats was one of my favourite films as a child and I'm still incredibly fond of it. Whilst I was a big Marie fan, Mum tells me that I always used to laugh hysterically at Georges whenever he popped up on screen, probably because he reminded me of my Grandad - who was equally as eccentric. I adore Georges, from his ridiculous glasses to his fragile dance moves. I still laugh whenever I think of this exchange between him and Edgar, the butler, who is trying to help him up the stairs after Georges refuses to use the 'bird cage' of an elevator: 

E: May I give you a hand, sir?

G: You wouldn't have an extra foot, would you, Edgar? 

lumpy space princess 

B: OH MY GLOB! I'm not even that far into Adventure Time yet but I already love Lumpy Space Princess, like seriously. LSP has some pretty important things to say and I'm looking forward to listening to more of them. 

april ludgate 

B: April just gets me, you know?! I just absolutely love her brand of dead-pan apathetic humour. I can usually be found laughing along to every single one of her scenes because I just get what she means. She's pretty much my patronus. I'm also totally all over her and Andy. They just work. 

WALTER BISHOP  

L: What a great character John Noble created! While I did enjoy Fringe, it did struggle to keep the quality flowing from the first season to the last. However, the one character who stuck with it, and who I loved from start to finish, was Walter Bishop. He has got to be one of the funniest and oddest characters I have seen in a TV series and I find I just can't stop smiling when he's on screen, even if he does have some nasty skeletons in his closet.

harvey specter 

L: Suits is one of the newer TV series I've started watching but it didn't take many episodes for me to like the characters and care about the stuff that goes on around them. While Donna Paulsen and Louis Litt get honorable mentions, Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, wins it for me. He's practically Bruce Wayne...if he decided to take another path in the realm of justice.  

john mcclane 

L: I couldn't have a fictional character list without including a character played by Bruce Willis could I?! There's not too much explaining to do here really as John McClane is one of the most iconic action heroes of the 20th century. Saying that, I really wish they hadn't dragged him into this century. I think Die Hard 5 was the only film that made me cry last year...

daryl dixon

L: I found it difficult to choose just four fictional characters for this post but I'm going to give Daryl a mention. Bee and I just finished watching the latest season of The Walking Dead, which was awesome by the way, and the episodes following Daryl were the best. He's one of the characters I've grown to love as the seasons have gone on because you can see just how much his character has developed from his introduction in the first season.

10 Signs That We Are Addicted to TV Shows 1.0 | TV

1. 'Just one more episode' is our most used phrase, even if it's the early hours of the morning and we have responsibilities the next day.

2. Our Netflix subscription is our most important direct debit.

3. We enter a period of mourning when TV shows finally end...Dexter, in particular. 

4. Season premieres and finales are important dates on our yearly calendar. Hello, Game of Thrones!

5. We live in fear of season finale cliffhangers, especially the one awaiting us at the end of the latest series of The Walking Dead.

6. We can watch an entire season in a day or two...Luther, The Killing, The Office, 24, Dexter...you name it! 

7. Bee knows everything about the actors personal lives as well as their characters...even if Luke finds it a little creepy. 

8. We will do everything in our power to hide from spoilers, especially when it comes to Agents of Shield and its links to the latest Marvel films.

9. We will forever associate certain actors/actresses with their most beloved characters aka Nick Offerman will always be Ron Swanson and Rainn Wilson will always be Dwight Schrute.

10. We sometimes have to remind ourselves that the characters and tv series' are not real. Li'l Sebastian will always be real though...

Anything you'd like to add to this list? Are you addicted to TV shows too? Let us know in the comments below and we'll have a little nose. You can also tweet us at @tftcblog. We're probably off to watch some more TV...We'll see you on Wednesday!

Fictional Bucket List Tag | Films and TV

We often find ourselves daydreaming about fictional characters and the awesome things that they get up to, and these daydreams often turn into long conversations about what we'd love to do if we were able to jump into the films / TV shows ourselves. We thought we'd compile a little list of the things we would like to do before we die with some of our favourite fictional characters...as unattainable as that is! This post is inspired by Jesse, who created this tag with books in mind. We'd love to know what your list would include so leave your ideas in the comments below! 

B: GO ON AN ADVENTURE with sUZY AND SAM 

L: watch die hard in real time from a tall building across the road with a walkie talkie to catch all the action

B: discuss books and dance to little bitty pretty one with matilda

L: build my own world in a dream within a dream in inception

B: play a prank on dwight with jim and pam from the office

L: go on a ride along with judge dredd

B: run from zombies with rick and co

L: train my very own dragon like in how to train your dragon

B: eat steak with debra morgan (my patronus)

L: stop ned and co from heading south, somehow, and set up relations with daenerys and her crew 

NOW THAT we've shared a few of our ideas, TELL US...

• What would be on your fictional bucket list?
