This week marks the 20th anniversary of soap opera Neighbours. To mark the event, Magazine readers have been nominating their favourite obscure characters - here are 20 of the best suggestions.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/05/magazine_enl_1129894476/html/1.stm



1. Mr Udagawa, the legendary Japanese businessman who seemed to spend his entire career visiting Paul Robinson at Lassiter's. The part of Mr Udagawa did not call for huge dialogue, but it was nonetheless played with a kind of brooding yet dignified menace. It's a great pity that Mr Udagawa was not asked back for the 20th anniversary celebrations, as it would have been nice to see how his career has progressed since those Erinsborough-obsessed days of the late 1980s."
Ian Kelly, Southampton


2. Josh, who was a friend of Todd's. All I can remember is that something happened to cause him to lose his sight and then he tried to pinch Todd's girlfriend.
Caroline, Woking, Surrey


3. How's about Wayne Duncan? He lived at the Robinson house, went out with Gabby Willis for a while and could open "stubbies" using only the fold between his upper arm and forearm. What a guy.
Sam Smyth, Leeds


4. Hilary, Jim's cousin - perpetually bitchy and irascible - got on everyone's nerves and was hugely funny. Appeared sporadically in the late 80s. She wasn't based in Erinsborough but somehow got Jim and Beverly together -as if Dr Bev would ever have been a friend of such an old witch!!
Matt Stephenson, Salford


5. I'd like to nominate Claire Girard, who was the naughty French exchange student staying with Madge and Harold. She got Hannah into lots of trouble and in true Neighbours style repented and became impeccably behaved before returning to France.
Beverley Phillips, Chamonix, France


6. Tony Romeo. Pronounced "Ro-may-oh". I can't remember anything else about the man apart from his name, and the way he pronounced it.
Michael Hall, Croydon, UK


7. Glen Donnelly: Jim's son that he fathered during a fling in Vietnam. Now not acknowledge as one of his children.
Laura Sleep , London


8. The American basketball player called Drew who followed Cody Willis back from the US in order to get an arranged marriage so he could run for president or something bizarre. Great character because he had the most implausible story.
Tom, Cambridge


9. 'Postman' who appeared only once for a brief few seconds, looked incredulous and was played by none other than Clive James. You would have thought a postie would have been a bit more svelte but Neighbours and Reality are not commonly associated. Nice one Clive
Scott, Aberdeen, UK


10. It's got to be Marleen Kratz, the mother of Lou Carpenter's late wife Cheryl Stark. Reason? For heading off on a three month cruise in the mid-1990s, never to be seen or spoken of again..
Tom Calvert, Hamstreet, UK


11. Des Clarke's mother Eileen, played by the late Myra de Groot. I remember the episode when they went to church and she sung so loudly and out of tune that the rest of the congregation stopped singing, but she ploughed on regardless. It was hysterical.
Abby, London


12. My favourite obscure character was Len Mangle (Mrs Mangle's husband) who never actually appeared on screen. Mrs Mangle and other characters would always have to talk to him off camera and continually come up with new reasons of why we never got to see him. Stroke of genius.
Alan, Glasgow, Scotland


13. Who can forget (apart from everyone I ask) Frank Darcy, the one-eyed artistic companion of Helen Daniels. They went for many a romantic trip to the fantastically named Bungle Bungle mountain range.
Joe, UK


14. My nomination for favourite but obscure Neighbours character: Maria. Am I the only one to remember her? She was married to Max. Who you may ask? Max was Madge's brother. Perhaps I've nominated two obscure characters.
Jon Sheehan, London, UK


15. I liked Eddie Buckingham, played by Bob La Castra. He was an English stand-up comedian who lived with the Bishops for a while. No real explanation was given to why he arrived or, indeed, why he left.
Michael Rhodes, South Normanton, Derbyshire
(What happened to Bob La Castra? He became a Gold Coast City councillor)

16. I would have to nominate Brett Stark for his weird semi-crush on Helen Daniels and their doing t'ai chi together on the lawn (not a euphemism by the way). Or Lauren Carpenter's horse, the fabulously-monikered Chukka Mental, who nearly drove her and Brad Willis apart.
Sally, London



17. I'd like to nominate Vikram as my favourite obscure character from Neighbours. He worked in the gift shop at Lassiter's when Julie Martin ran it. He was always friendly, but the closest he ever got to a storyline involved his younger sister being sent away to India.
Fiona, Edinburgh

18. I remember Joe Mangel visiting a farm and finding some dotty old lady called Mary who was obsessed with her 'chooks'. Somehow she ended up living in Joe's house.
Richard Shelton, Blackwood, Wales


19. The bumbling Kelvin. Everyone thought he was a real nerd until Melanie (the one with THAT laugh) snogged him and found he had a hidden talent.
Toby Smith, Guildford, UK


20. A character called Teabag, I remember that Hannah Martin had some trouble with him or something because she kept going to the skate park where he hung out. The only reason I particularly liked him was because me and my mates all fancied him, although his part was short lived, I think he was only it for a couple of weeks.
Michelle, Brighton

Thanks to all those who made nominations, especially the many who suggested Dr Clive Gibbons, whose popularity disqualified him by indicating he lacked sufficient obscurity.
