Mollie Sugden (RIP)
"Captain Freecock, are you pee?"
We never heard her say this on the show but it is an outake from Are You Being Served?. Earlier this week Mrs. Mollie Sugden (Mrs. Slocomb above) passed away. This lady was one of the funniest to ever be on television. She rivals even our own Lucille Ball, but with brighter hair.
Whether her hair was pink or blue, she made us laugh. She could talk about her Pussy (cat) with a straight face, and show her underwear all the same.
We have lost a great comedian. The unfortunate thing is that we also lost her co-star Wendy Richard (Ms. Brahms) earlier this year to cancer. Now few of the Are You Being Served? actors remain.
This celeb death strikes me worse that Michael, Billy, or Farrah, because she made me laugh and I saw her almost every Saturday night for nearly twenty years.
Goodbye Mrs. Slocomb, you've done very well.
