Famous people who don't exist

[Mrs Magpie]

Mrs Mainwaring

She did actually utter something between a groan and a roar in one of the radio episodes....Pru Forrest was a famous silent character in the Archers...I remember seeing a cartoon years ago that posited the theory that the reason was that she was a member of Sinn Fein....

 

[colbhoy]

Norm's wife in Cheers.

The guy who used to live next door to Victor Meldrew - did he not have a mother that you never saw?

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Damn you beat me to Vera Peterson.

 

[T & P]

Mrs. Bucket's son, Sheradon (sp?).

 

[spanglechick]

Abigail, she of "Abigail's party" fame

and the lovely samantha (i'm sorry i haven't a clue) - who i think fits even with acid priest's rule

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I've been to recordings of ISIHAC and Samantha has taken a bow...it's the series producer......

 

[Mrs Magpie]

oooh! Godot! Probably the most world-famous I reckon.

Damn you beat me to Vera Peterson.

She does actually walk into the bar in one episode.

Door opens and cream pie splats her in the face, so we never do actually see her...

I've seen loads of Cheers episodes but not that one.

 

[tim]

IIRC the most we ever saw of her was a humungous depression in the mattress of the air raid shelter bunk above Captain Mainwaring...

I was going to point this out. Rather sad that either of us should actually remember this.

 

[ivebeenhigh]

Mrs Columbo

Mrs Columbo existed, but was too busy staring in her own series, in which, of course her own husband never turned up.

 

[Guineveretoo]

oooh! Godot! Probably the most world-famous I reckon.

And referenced in a very early post on this thread! I had the same thought, but was beaten to it, too!
