The original Han Solo

Didn't see this call at all. Great call though. The more I think about, almost the most quintessential antihero of this millennium.

So who is Don Draper.

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I feel like I could say that about pretty much every character listed except for Travolta in PF.

I am so old and out of touch...

What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

To be fair, I had Richard III down but figured that would just make me sound like either a dork or an arrogant arse and was trying to avoid both.

Whereas I'm quite happy to be seen as an arrogant dork!

Mad Men, what a show.

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
