Sitcom Characters - Well Known But Unseen...

[sp1814]

Been talking with some mates who we've had over for Sunday lunch about sitcom characters who are referred to, but are never seen.

The rule is - the character is never seen, but must have a defined set of characteristics.

We came up with the following...any more?

Mrs Wolowitz (Big Bang Theory)
Elizabeth Manwaring (Dad's Army)
Sheridan Bucket (Keeping Up Appearances)
Ugly Fat Guy (Friends)
Maris Crane (Frasier)
Stan Walker (Will & Grace)

What about Fat Elvis, mo's friend from Eastenders? Not sue if he's been seen as I haven't watched it for about 3 years.

Now...who mentioned Ugly Naked Guy from Friends? Because I suggested that one and was told that he WAS seen in the episode where Ross wants to make friends with him in order to take over renting his apartment!

I thought I'd seen every episode, but hat doesn't ring any bells...
