I loved Aunt Betsy. But there lots of memorable characters.

Peggoty has always been a favorite character of mine since childhood and even though I like some other characters after this reading, she still is my favorite one.

Just borrowed a copy of a TV adaptation from the library: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167872/

Heep is played by Nicholas Lyndhurst. I cannot imagine him in that role (he will always be Rodney for me!). Have you seen it, Kilted?

Yeah, I've seen it. It was quite good.

Other things to look out for:

Victor Meldrew's wife as the Aunt & a young Harry Potter as child David.

Oh, one last thing: "You Plonker, Rodney"

Me too, I voted for Peggoty. For me, she's been the most constant character, and ever caring, first for David and his mother, then for her husband. She would be my model nanny :D

But I also found Agnes an interesting character, although I thought she's almost too good and angelic to be real. So down-to-earth Peggoty is my favourite :nod:.
