Is anyone watching "50 greatest comedy characters" on 4?!
Question: I want to see the results online, because it says it's a repeat, but I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know if this is a new one, or where I can find the results? I've checked on the Ch4 page.

Well snafu answered the question brilliantly - though I don't agree with the list !! - When they do programmes like this who makes the lists? Maybe that's a question I should ask :)
