I have been a fan of "Are You Being Served" for many years (airing on our local Houston PBS station). Mollie Sugden was a shining star in a fabulous cast! Aside from making me laugh to a point of tears, she resembled and reminded me of my own mother who could be quite hilarious without intent!

Ms. Sugden also won my admiration in visiting our PBS station to help raise much-needed broadcast funds. She recounted stories of continuing friendships with cast members, and spoke about her recipe for lettuce soup.

She will be greatly missed! Thank you, "Mrs. Slocombe, You've done very, very well!"

How I loved Mrs. Slocombe and that show "Are You Being Served?" During a particularly rough time in my own life, I stumbled across this show which at first I thought was a religious program. Need I write that I was hooked after one viewing. I still laugh at some of the classic episodes--German Week, the Greek Wedding, Punch and Judy, and some of the Christmas shows. I like to use the phrase that old Mr. Grace called them--"that silly lot." May the Pouf, Shirley Brahms, and now Mrs. Slocombe all rest in peace. That silly lot sure made the rest of the world laugh their heads off.
