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!
