Minor and One-off Characters

• Spudgun (Steve O'Donnell): One of Eddie's slobbish and unemployable friends. His nickname comes from a trick he can do involving a potato, although according to Eddie it's not something most people would want to see.
• Dave Hedgehog (Christopher Ryan): One of Eddie's friends. While "Hedgehog" appears to be his actual surname, he also can do a trick involving an actual hedgehog. As seen in Terror, he is married, and has a daughter by the name of Doreen - who is remarkably calm when dealing with Richie & Eddie, despite them mistaking her for Satan. Dave's wife's name is Susan as mentioned in Holy, although it takes him a while to recall her name.
• Dick Head (Lee Cornes): The landlord of the Lamb and Flag, Richie and Eddie's regular pub. Dick is one that usually doesn't get on well with both Richie and Eddie, because of the arguments over the tabs and payments for alcohol. His appearances were in Smells, Parade and Dough.
• Mr. Harrison (Roger Sloman): Richie and Eddie's flat landlord and shopkeeper. His only appearances were in 's Up and Holy.
• Veronica Head (Julia Sawalha): The beautiful young barmaid at the Lamb and Flag, whom Richie tries to woo by boasting of his false adventures at the Falklands. She later turns out to be the niece of Dick Head and has been conspiring against Richie from the start. She only appeared in the episode Parade.
• Lady Natasha Letitia Sarah Jane Wellesley Obstromsky Ponsonsky Smythe Smythe Smythe Smythe Smythe Oblomov Boblomov Dob, third Viscountess of Moldavia (Helen Lederer): A foreign countess Richie met through Lily Linneker's Love Bureau. Richie posed as the Duke of Kidderminster to secure a date with her. She agreed to marry him and unwittingly admitted that she'd lost her entire fortune in a civil war and had to marry soon lest she be penniless forever. She appears in Digger.
• Mr. N. Stiles (Robert Llewellyn): N. Stiles is a Falklands ex-serviceman who was in the Lamb and Flag, asking questions to Richie about his false adventures at the Falklands. After this Richie and Eddie find out he has a wooden leg which is quite valuable and decide to steal it and take to the pawn shop to bet on a horse. He appears in Parade.
• "Skullcrusher" Henderson (Nick Scott): The most prolific currency forger in London, although this is more down to his tendency to crush the skulls of any rivals than the quality of his forgeries (which feature Danny La Rue in place of the Queen). Richie and Eddie fell afoul of Skullcrusher and had to pay a £5,000 tribute in order to escape bodily harm; unfortunately they tried to pay Skullcrusher with his own forged cash, and got their skulls crushed anyway. Appeared in Dough.
• "Cannonball" Taffy O'Jones (voiced by Kevin Allen): Insane Welsh cricketer. After a deliberate bowl to Richie's forehead, Richie and Eddie steal his car and steal his honeymoon. Taffy follows them however, and gets revenge with another pair of bowls to Richie and Eddie's foreheads.
• Harry/Ted Nudget The Bastard (Brian Croucher): Mean spirited pawnbroker who knowingly and brazenly offers prices for items proffered at well below their true worth. Examples include 7 pence for a house and £1.50 for an engraved wooden leg he acknowledges to be worth at least £2500.
• Video Repair Man (uncredited): Makes a brief appearance in Carnival after Eddie blows up a VCR he took almost a year to set up. After repairing the machine Eddie offers him a box of Malibu in lieu of cash, only to send him flying down the stairs and possibly injuring him by pulling a lever.
• Gas Man (Mark Lambert): Appears in Gas in which he visits Richie and Eddie's flat to read their gas meter only to find the reading is all zeros. As their next door neighbour Mr Rottweiler is up next, they decide to keep him in the flat until his time to clock off for the night arrives, as they have been stealing gas from Rottweiler hence the meter reading. By doing this they force-feed him cold tea while pretending they do not know what gas is, only to knock him out with a frying pan as he tries to leave. He later wakes up with a headache while Richie and Eddie try to throw him out of a window onto the roof of the next bus. Although his shift is over, the Gas Man proceeds to check Mr Rottweiler's meter, despite or perhaps due to his tremendous head injuries.
• Mr. Rottweiler (Brian Glover): Richie and Eddie's next door neighbour who appears in Gas. The duo were stealing gas from him with an illegal gas link only to try and disconnect it by smashing his wall down while he is asleep with his girlfriend.
• Doreen Hedgehog (Lisa Coleman): Appears in Terror is Dave's daughter who comes to the flat were she is mistaken for being The Devil by the others due to wearing a devil mask but after taking it off she reveals that she has been sent to collect her father as her mother doesn't like him being out after midnight.
