I was always rooting for Victor Kruger in Highlander: a good old-fashioned punkrocking roisterdoistering rapist with a tendency to lick the faces of nuns and vicars that he passed with his cucumber-long tongue. Lambert's wet Belgian Scotsman never had my support, not that he was seeking it.
For Idle it's a toss-up between Nuns on the Run and the One Foot in the Grave themetune.
Gleeson's finest would be In Bruges, closely followed by Lake Placid where he is called "Officer Fuckmeat" by the Golden Girls legend Betty White..
