Was it grey?

Yes it was grey. Or at least it had a grey tail when it was smuggled into Grace Bros in the first episode of Series 5. Only the tail was shown. More clearly on display in that episode is Mrs Slocombe's feline pyajama case. And the six kittens that her cat gives birth to inside a hatbox in the ladies changing room.

Oh, I forgot about that. He gets wanked off by Audrey, doesn't he?

There should definitely be some kind of BCG Tut-Ometer, just so we can assess the reaction to our bullshit.

Whatever.

My favourite unseen characters are Keith, the wife beating racist, and Dane, a phycotic toddler from The Smoking Room.

In It Takes a Worry Man there was the smug co-worker's troubled child and the boss's yobbish son-in-law.

Marion and Geoff must be the only title characters from a comedy to not be seen? Okay, their feet, etc were very briefly seen in the barbeque special - but that doesn't count.

Also Marsha's daughter (Abby?) in Spaced - or only seen as a blur or legs running downstairs.

How about Ben from the post room?
