Hall on the HBO television series Six Feet Under. The character is the middle child of three and is a third-generation funeral director. Initially, the character is portrayed as socially conservative (and possibly politically so), dutiful to his family, emotionally repressed, and conflicted about his homosexuality. Over the course of the series, he faces struggles and triumphs both personally and professionally. His most significant challenges are related to keeping his funeral home in business, navigating his relationship with Keith Charles, surviving being carjacked, and coping with the death of his father. By the show's end, he reconciles his religious beliefs, personal goals, and homosexuality, and he and Keith settle down. They adopt two children: eight-year-old Anthony and 12-year-old Durrell. The series finale and official HBO website indicate that Keith is murdered in a robbery in 2029, and that David at some point finds companionship with Raoul Martinez, with whom he remains until David's death at the age of 75.Critics have cited David Fisher as the first realistic portrayal of a gay lead male character on television, and the character is popularly regarded as one of the most beloved of the series. Michael C. Hall was widely praised for his portrayal of the character, and was nominated for and won major awards as a resultRichard Hillman<img src="https://img.apester.com/insecure/fit/200/200/ce/0/plain/user-images%2F92%2F92da1434a444cc0a930e318e9739ae39.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The character's story arc began with Richard appearing in Weatherfield for the funeral of his late cousin, Alma Baldwin (Amanda Barrie) – following her recent death from cervical cancer a couple days prior. He thereupon meets Alma's closest friend, Gail Platt (Helen Worth), and they proceeded to establish a relationship that ultimately led to the pair getting married a year later on 26 July 2002. By that year, however, it had transpired that Richard withholds a homicidal streak – which is thoroughly explored outside his marriage with Gail as he strives to maintain his financially bankrupt property company, "Kellett Holdings". This involves Richard leaving his business partner Duggie Ferguson (John Bowe) to die after the latter ends up having a fatal accident; murdering his ex-wife Patricia (Annabelle Apsion) with a shovel when she attempts to expose his fraudulent dealings; clashing with Gail's former ex-husband Martin (Sean Wilson) after upsetting their young son, David (Jack P. Shepherd), for going on his laptop without permission; forming a business partnership with fellow entrepreneur Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson); swindling neighbors Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey) and his spouse Vera (Liz Dawn) from their financial investment; kidnapping local gossip Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) to stop him from investigating the truth about Kellett Holdings and after he prevents his childhood friend Rita Fairclough (Barbara Knox) from being conned as well; befriending Gail's eldest son Nick Tilsley (Adam Rickitt) when he gets invited to their wedding; attempting to bribe the street's Councillor Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy) with the discovery that a Bail Hostel operation threatens to jeopardize his scheme; forces Patricia's best-friend Charlotte Morris (Joanne Zorian) into leaving Weatherfield after she threatens to uncover the true circumstances behind her fate; plotting to kill his mother-in-law Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) by setting her house on fire, after which he exploits his failure to doing so with the conclusion that she has Alzheimer's disease; becoming enemies with Audrey's companion Archie Shuttleworth (Roy Hudd) in light of setting fire to her house; killing Audrey's co-worker Maxine Peacock (Tracy Shaw) with a crowbar after using it to unsuccessfully murder Norris' roommate Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) as part of his plan to extract her house as a result of his equity release scheme that Emily signed with his company; and framing David's new schoolmate Aiden Critchley (Dean Ashton) for Emily's attack and Maxine's murder in retribution for Aidan causing an earlier car crash that hospitalized Gail's only daughter Sarah-Louise (Tina O'Brien).Eventually, Richard confessed his crimes to Gail in a two-hander episode between them on 24 February 2003. He seemingly departs Weatherfield for good after Gail ends their marriage and his criminal activities subsequently become public knowledge, but Richard returns weeks later with the intent on killing his stepfamily and himself. He abducts Gail and her children, along with Sarah's infant daughter Bethany, from their house and attempts to kill them all in their garage. However, after Audrey and Martin discover his last-ditch familicide plan, Richard drives off with his abducted stepfamily and ends up plunging their car into a canal — but they survive whilst he himself drowns.He has been rated one of the best soap villains of all time and in the programme itself, alongside the likes of Alan Bradley (Mark Eden) and Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre).11Prince Philip – THE CROWN = 56<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/3c/8a/aa3c8a85f52bffe2be56dc14fbb76875.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Crown is a historical drama streaming television series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan, and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix.

The first season covers the period from Elizabeth's marriage to Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 to the disintegration of her sister Princess Margaret's engagement to Group Captain Peter Townsend in 1955. The second season covers the period from the Suez Crisis in 1956 to the retirement of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in 1963 and the birth of Prince Edward in 1964. The third season spans 1964 to 1977, includes Harold Wilson's two periods as prime minister, and introduces Camilla Shand. The fourth season spans 1979 to the early 1990s and includes Margaret Thatcher's tenure as prime minister and Prince Charles's marriage to Lady Diana Spencer. The fifth and sixth seasons, which will close the series, will cover the Queen's reign into the 21st century.</blockquote>
