Another television comedy great is no more…

Mollie Sugden (1922–2009) – hilarious sitcom actress, best known for playing “Mrs Slocombe” in the 1970s hit series “Are you being served?”. I was raised on this stuff, and it did me no harm whatsoever. Other than the flashbacks I have every time I walk into a branch of John Lewis. Grinning like an idiot in public can lead to some very odd looks.

Ms Sugden is survived by her twin sons Robin and Simon; Mrs Slocombe by her pussy.
