* Mr. Flibble from ''[[Red Dwarf]]''. A ''penguin hand-puppet'', visibly played and voiced by one of the regular cast during the last scenes of a single episode, never to be seen or even mentioned in the show again... but he's one of the most popular supporting characters, almost to the point that you could consider him the show's mascot, and he's got [http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/features/interviews/mr-flibble/ his own section] on the show's official website, where he acts as an interview host. |
