"Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once"

I began a little scattily on the 30 Days of Awesome Females meme, and despite the subject of this entry, will tidy myself up now. This list excludes DW (for the sake of not taking up all 30 places) and will include more than one character I wanted to grow up to be (of whom this character is one. Erm. Yes.), at least two I never even thought I'd ( Read more... )

Ah, Allo Allo, definitely up there with my favourite British Comedies (others being One Foot In The Grave, Blackadder, You Rang M'Lord? and Dad's Army) And Michelle is definitely one of the best characters - always amused me how all of the Resistance were women in the same outfit as well! :)

Hm, the 30 Days things sounds fun. If I can come up with a suitable enough topic in a month I'm more free I may try it myself...

Well, there were enough going round this year. There was a 30 Days of Doctor Who, 30 Days of TV, 30 days of Spooks, and who knows what else. I think I saw a Shakespeare one. Most of them have set questions, but the Awesome Female TV Characters one was just a list.

I'm sure you'll find something. You could try searching 30 Days meme and nosing about, I suppose. :-)

Oh yes, loved Michelle (and the way she used Rene's vanity :)

lost_spook January 27 2011, 19:10:52 UTC

Heh, yes. I should have mentioned that. :-D

I went through a phase of saying Michelle's catch-phrase too often - but I justified it by sharing her name (though differently spelled)!

lost_spook January 27 2011, 19:11:51 UTC

Well, of course! (I did once meet a young Oliver who took great pleasure in coming up and asking for more...)

;-D

LOL

One of my favourite Michelle lines is when she asked Yvette what she saw in René, listened to the resulting declaration of love, and then replied: "You poor child. You should eat more green vegetables."

Yep, see Michelle definitely counts for this meme. I'm not mad. *cough*

I personally think Helga is the cleverest person in the whole show and I wish she had just got the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies all to herself. Michelle, however, is also made of win.:D

lost_spook January 30 2011, 10:12:16 UTC

Oh, Helga is, I agree. I just don't know exactly where she stands on the whole Nazi thing, so Michelle wins out. ;-D

akashasheiress February 10 2011, 00:38:12 UTC

Yeah, she's a tough one to figure out. I choose to just peg her down as the ultimate survivor type. I wasn't suprised to hear that she came from a working-class background.

You are probably right - after all, it would certainly be about the only way to explain away how come she marries Gruber at the end. (That was what happened, wasn't it? It's a long time since I saw the ending.)
