Alf Garnett seems the most obvious omission, though also for me Bernard Black

And no Rab C Nesbitt, or Jack or Victor, or Rev I M Jolly

Albert Steptoe
Sergeant-Major Williams (It Ain't Half Hot, Mum)

[Nearly Sane]

 Steptoe is a good shout. But surely Me Lah-Di-Da-Gunner Graham for IAHH,M

Good point!  However, BSM Williams was the bloke who christened him that, and was the main comic character in the show.

[Nearly Sane]

No Liver Bird or Likely Lad.

No Ria from Butterflies.

[Stranger]

No Reginald Perrin.

[Sebastian Toe]

No Rene Artois.

[Nearly Sane]

Or Arnold Rimmer

They've gone for just one character per show - but there are quite a few where more than one character could have been included. (e.g. most of Dad's Army). I also think Uncle Bryn deserves a mention even if Nessa is the most obvious (but least subtle) comedy character from G&S.
