Well, I do not know the best.

Hi Wilco,
I found a free one which also allows bulk checking.
I am using it on: http://www.checkdomains.net/whois.php

See what you think...

This one caters for .co.uk okay.
(It doesn't have a checkbox for the ".co.uk" extension, but if you enter them singularly or bulk it will tell you if they are available, and display the Whois info correctly).
