TV character you or others think you are most like

Trainspotter

While watching The Big Bang theory, my wife said that I was like a cross between Sheldon (from that programme) and Uncle Bryn (from Gavin and Stacey)

She also said that I was like Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave and also a bit like Doc Martin.

So which characters from TV/films does anyone feel they share characteristics with?

Parents

    Just to make it clear it is my wife who says I am like these characters, and although I can see her point a bit it had never struck me before!

    Yes, it can be quite revealing when we are told how we come over to others.

    But, thinking about it a bit, I have had some comments from my mom about seeming rather cold and lacking empathy at times. The thing is though, it's not that I really lack sympathy for people - it's just that my approach to helping people tends to be rather clinical due to a desire to solve the problem at hand and you can sympathise till the cows come home, in the end you have to actually do something practical in order to really help people.

    I'm rather reminded of the old fashion image of 'matron knows best' where the need for properly caring for people trumps continually namby-pampering folk. This can go too far, I know, and must never stray into treating people like 'objects', without feelings.
