The rate at which celebrities are dying lately is worrying

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

And not a single mention on the lunchtime news today

Now what will become of Mrs Slocombes pussy?

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.
