Vale Mrs Slocombe!!!

Mollie Sugden… the television actor who played the cat-obsessed Betty Slocombe in Are You Being Served?… has died age 86…some of you older forumites might remember her from The Liver birds

Thanks Molly for alot of laughs. At work back in the Cold War days we quite often used to see an Aeroflot No:1 C/A on Tu134s who was an absolute ringer for Mrs Slocombe…including the hair! RIP:(

(Ahem) I do.

“My pussy was nearly up my curtains” How they got away with such innuendo I don’t know!

Between Mrs Slocombe’s pussy innuendo and Mr Humphrey’s campness…the show was far far ahead of it’s time

These days they probably would, because the Censors are a product of “Thick Britain” and they didn’t lern pucka ingleesh at skool.
RIP Mollie (Molly?).
