    It's gotta be Petula, Bren was more your straight (wo)man, while Petula was just for comedic value ( although both parts were very well acted ).

    Bren is by far the funnier of the 2.

    I love the "straight (wo)man" humor of Bren's character. The only problem I have, is that some of the "word association" things are too far of a stretch. Petula is more outragious, but I don't find her to be funnier.

    I thought "Babs, I'm from Ermstone", was a good character and could have been used a lot more.

    nah i think that she would be good for the only amount of epsiodes she was in because otherwise she would have been really boring by just saying the same line all the time

    I have to agree, the 2 episodes that Babs is in is more than enough.

    I think Bren is the funnier, but Petula is the more outrageous. There's hardly anyone more outrageous on tv than Petula. Both are wonderful characters.

    I think that Petula is funnier! She's more outrageous and wacky!

    Petula. Bren's my favourite, but Petula's funnier by far. The way she just goes on about those famous people, and saying how beautiful people are, "She's like a white Nina Simone". Hilarious.

    Lol!
    I loved when she was on about Leonardo DiCaprio and said he had a "scrotum like a boxing glove!" She has so many great and wild statements
