    If you want to watch Croft & Perry (or Croft & Lloyd) stuff, you’d have to head over to UKTV Gold channel. Hi-de-hi!, Allo’ Allo’ and Are You Being Served are regularly on there. Maybe even the lesser sitcoms they churned out too: the schedule doesn’t fill itself, you know. The one that doesn’t get shown is It Aint Half Hot, Mum. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

              I've been rewatching Cheers from the beginning and as.mentioned in the OP, Vera is a very influential character who never appears. That the creative team did the same thing in Frasier with Maris Crane is quite funny. Clearly they realised they had a good comic mechanism there.
