Default Frank Thornton Dies

I'm sure most Brits and perhaps other nationals will remember the great comedy actor.

Thanks for all the laughs Frank

RIP

Are you being Served was one of my favorite comedy's from the UK, always funny as heck! Loved Mrs. Slocombe too! Wendy Richards was easy on the eye's too, at the time!

R.I.P. Capt Peacock, you will be missed.
