Booktrust asked 1,318 children aged between five and 12 to pick their favourite literary characters. And the results show that Roald Dahl's tales continue to exert a magical pull on children's imaginations almost 20 years a...fter he died, with four of his creations, the Big Friendly Giant, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda and Charlie Bucket from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all making it into a list of children's favourite fictional characters.

I'm amazed Foot is still alive! Had no idea he was a contemporary of Orwell's. Didn't think much of the questions put to him though!
