Red it in a Dutch newspaper today...

Mary Isobel 'Mollie' Sugden (21 July 1922 – 1 July 2009) was an English comedy actress best known for portraying the saleswoman Mrs. Slocombe in the popular British sitcom Are You Being Served? from 1972 to 1985. She later reprised this role in Grace & Favour, which ran from 1992 to 1993. Sugden also appeared in The Liver Birds and Coronation Street.

Are you being served? was a rather famous Britcom. I hope Grace Brothers remembers to send flowers. :cry:

I watch this program every now and then. It comes on right after Keeping up Appearances and As Time Goes By. I love those two programs.

She did get a mention on LBC talk radio this morning along with a couple of her lines from Are you being served.


Mrs Slocombe to Capt Peacock.

"Capt Peacock, I do not react to anymans finger"

Mrs Slocombe to Mr Rumpole

" Before we start can I just mention that Miss Brams and I are not happy with the state of our drawers, They are positivly disgusting"


RIP Mollie

Honestly its just news worthy right now it goes in cycles.

Also frankly it makes a good diversion from more important matters. But I dont want to be labeled as a conspirist.

Never heard of this woman although I have seen the sitcom a few times.

Wish her godspeed and her family well.
