Let's Celebrate Greg Davies

Having finally settled into watching the slapstick Man Down, I can officially put the brilliant Greg Davis on the short list of BBC actors who starred in THREE great sitcoms. Off the top of my head, right now its:

(my favorite role of each in BOLD)

Greg Davies - The Inbetweeners, Cuckoo, Man Down

David Jason - Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Porridge

Peter Bowles - To the Manor Born, The Irish R.M., Only When I Laugh

Simon Bird - The Inbetweeners, Chickens, Friday Night Dinner

Joe Thomas - The Inbetweeners, Chickens, Fresh Meat

Matt Berry - The IT Crowd, What We Do in the Shadows, Toast of London

Matthew Baynton - Gavin and Stacey, Spy, Ghosts, The Wrong Man(s)

Tamsin Greig - Black Books, Friday Night Dinner, Episodes

Of course to a generation of young Brits, Greg Davies will always be Mr. Gilbert!
