Happy Mother's Day! CoolManchester's greatest ever TV Mums

First of all I want to say that my mum is the greatest mum in the world and that will never change...but to celebrate Mother's Day I thought I'd take a look at the top five greatest mums ever seen on TV and celebrate why they are just so marvellous :)

1. Sophia Petrillo

Sophia was mother to Dorothy in the Golden Girls, but also played mother to Dorothy's best friends Blanche and Rose. Always with a massive pasta meal on the table and a story to tell, Dorothy was meant to be Sophia's carer but we all knew it was the other way around.

2. Amy Pond

Amy is the current companion and also Mother in Law of The Doctor. She deserves a mention because I don't think there has been anyone in television history who has raised a child before giving birth to them..... Its not confusing at all!

3. Marge Simpson

It would be impossible to compile a list without mentioning this lady... she needs little introduction at all. She's been looking after baby Maggie, 8 year old Lisa and 10 year old Bart for 24 years now... a seriously impressive acheivement!

4. Edina Monsoon

You may think this is a strange choice, Ab Fab's Eddie is not exactly a conventional mother, but despite all the mistakes she has made she has brought up two very well rounded and successful children with Serge and Sapphie. On the surface she may not appear to like her daughter much, but people will have HELL to pay if you ever cross her.

5. Susan Kennedy

Susan has to be the ultimate TV mum. She raised her three own kids, adopted a couple more and acted as mother to many more teenagers stopping off at the Kennedy household over the 18 years she has been on Neighbours. Long may it continue!

So those are my choices, do you agree with them? Are there any shocking omissions? Let me know what you think in the comments section :)
