2. I voted for "Chance" but let's not forget the cat-loving Dr. Pratt

in "The Wrong Box":

Morris Finsbury: I collect eggs, Doctor.
Doctor Pratt: Eggs, yes. Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes. They don't make good pets, though; you can never get them in at night.

9. Group Captain Lionel Mandrake isn't actually in your poll.

Otherwise, he'd get my vote.

"Oh Jack, I'd love to come, but see, the bloody string in my leg is gone. Shot off."

General Ripper: "Look Mandrake, I shouldn't tell you this but you're a good soldier and you have a right to know. It looks like we're in a shooting war."

Group Captain Lionel Mandrake: "Ah hell."

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]
