Characters in movies/tv shows that are never seen?

I don't remember ever seeing Sybil Fawlty's friend Audrey who she was always talking to over the phone - "Oh, I knooow"

Beverley Macker in The Royle Family. She caused many arguments but was never seen. I don't think we ever saw Nana's friend Elsie either.

The closest we got to seeing Elizabeth Mainwaring is her bulky bottom protruding from the top bunk in the air raid shelter.
She does appear in the Dad's Army film though.
Although not a person, what did Compo have in that matchbox?

In Coronation Street, Mary is always mentioning ‘Mother’, but no one has ever seen her.

And in ‘Keeping Up Appearances’, did we ever see Daddy?

And Sheridan the son. He was another one we never saw.

Yes we did see Daddy, quite frequently when he went missing and they had to arrange a search party for him.

Nile’s’ wife, Maris, in Frasier. The comments about her conjure up such a picture of her that it would have been impossible to cast a real person, such as:
“Her thighs are too small to take up horse riding as she would be unable to straddle anything larger than a border collie”. “She once ran away from me in the snow and I tried to follow her footprints but she didn’t leave any” ,

The invisible man in " The Invisible Man".

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The invisible man in " The Invisible Man".

Mrs Columbo in 'Columbo.'

Most of his face was obscured by the garden fence so we never saw more than the hat and eyes of Wilson the neighbour in Tim Allen's 'Home Improvement.'

Beverley Macca never appeared on The Royle Family.

There was a tradition in British comedy to mention someone, often with some amusing name or traits, but to never see them. No Man Jan, Japanese Margaret and Big Fat Sue are frequently mentioned in Gavin and Stacey, but never seen.
Not a comedy, but I do remember a kids drama from the early eighties called The Baker Street Boys, where a group of street kids helped Sherlock Holmes solve crimes. All you saw of Holmes was a silhouette, while his wife spoke on his behalf.

Crossed post ferry23 !

Mrs Mainwaring in "Dad'sArmy"

Smithy's girlfriend Lucy. Gavin & Stacey

Mrs. Dooms-Patterson. The Good Life
(I think we did once see Miss Mountshaft - or it may be the other way around!)

Elizabeth Mainwaring. Dad's Army

In Keeping Up Appearances, we occasionally saw Daddy but not Sheridan. Remember Daddy in the toy store?

In Captain Scarlet, the Mysterons were never seen. Their voices were heard and accompanied by green rings.

Charlie in Charlie's Angels - his face was never seen.

Oh and Niles' wife in Frasier

Norm's wife in Cheers

Arthur Daley's "Er indoors", his wife in Minder. And wasn't there a wife in The Archers who never spoke?

In Coronation Street, Mary is always mentioning ‘Mother’, but no one has ever seen her.

And in ‘Keeping Up Appearances’, did we ever see Daddy?

And Sheridan the son. He was another one we never saw.
