That would probably be Louise.

She's a bit strange that one, mad as a sack of badgers to boot.

Can't say that I watch much telly now but when I was younger (early 80's) there was an American sitcom called Alice. A character called Flo was very funny and each episode she would deliver her catchphrase "Meyl...... kiss maaa greeyts!"
It amused me and brother anyway.

Not really a sitcom - more a comedy drama but George Cole as Arthur Daley in Minder is superb (currently being repeated on ITV4 Mondays 8pm)
