It is yet another sad moment for me this week having to say goodbye to someone else I have grown up with. Mollie Sugden, 1922-2009. She died at the age of 86. Ok, for alot of people they will think WHO? Well, for those of us who love the British comedies, Mollie Sugden was the bomb! "Mrs Slocombe" was a pleasure to watch. You never knew what color her hair would be from episode to episode! Are You Being Served?, which originally aired from 1972 to 1985, can still watch it today on the BBC. For those who haven't seen this show ever(OMG!!), you should really check it out. The chemistry between Mrs Slocombe and the effeminate Mr Humphries is just hilarious to watch. The whole cast was great! You can check out the videos on YouTube. Here is one to get you started! Goodbye Mrs Slocombe
Be sure to check out Are You Being Served?
Mollie, Ed, Farrah, Michael, Karl, and Billy, thank you for making my days more entertaining! You will all be greatly missed!
I knew I recognized the name, and when I read "Are You Being Served" I knew immediately who you meant. Mollie brought a lot of laughter into many people's lives. Let's not forget Gale Storm and Harve Presnell as well. So many entertainers who made a positive difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteYes, I read about them as well. You have some great people that don't get the attention they deserve. RIP to all!
