No, I don't either and I haven't got the film on DVD, damn. But it's in the Halliwell film guide and that bloke was very seldom wrong. Is she in it, and whereabouts?
Are you sure they didn't mean 'Arthur Lowe's' wife, as she was in Dad's Army at some stage - playing one of Godfrey's sisters. Don't look for the name Lowe though, as she used a different name when acting. Another bit of trivia for anyone who's interested. I live in New Zealand and Arthur Lowe's son Stephen Lowe (have I spelt that right) live in the same small city I live in. He looks a lot like his father. He tutors in computer studies. He was actually in the film 'A Night to Remember' as a child actor (it's a film about the Titanic.) Stephen wrote a book about his father.
I've seen the Dad's Army film a few times and can't remember seeing Mrs Mainwaring. Although I suppose it's possible theres are scene where she's hiding behind clothes on a washing line or something. That does ring a bell - but maybe it's just a bell in my imagination.
I've just been reading a little book on Dad's Army. The guy who sang the theme song died a couple of months after recording it. David Jason was to play Jones, but the process of making him up each time would have been too time consuming. The show's working title was 'Fighting Tigers'.

Carlton the doorman in Rhoda. Only heard on the intercom.
In Only Fools and Horses after the episode where they became millionaires Monkey Harris leaves a message on the answerphone after they have vacated the flat for millionaires row. Also the Driscoll brothers were mentioned quite a few times before they first appeared.
Me and My Girl with Richard O'Sullivan. Tim Brooke-Taylor's characters wife Muriel never appears but was mentioned a lot.
Tucker's wife in Citizen Smith. Just a pair of feet in one episode.
Yes, Tucker's wife and Muriel are good ones.
