  Many shows, particularly comedies, have characters who are never seen but are mentioned regularly and may be spoken to on the phone; characters who only have a voice; or characters who are never seen fully. There are a few lists on the net but I thought it would be fun to list the ones we can remember.
  
  I'll start with:
  Charlie from Charlie's Angels (voice)
  Sheridan Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances (phone)
  Abigail of Abigail's Party (mentioned / eponymous)
  Wilson from Home Improvement (face obscured)

  Miss Cathcart, Peggy's boss in Hi de hi.

  Technically you did see Mrs Columbo. She got her own spin-off show, in which you never saw Columbo :eek:

  You mean Audrey? I think she was seen in The Anniversary when Sybil is crying in the car. At least I think it was her.
