A sad goodbye to another British comedy name, Frank Thornton. Probably best known for his role as Mr. Peacock in Are You Being Served.

Sad Loss.

That is sad news indeed.  He responded very recently to a questionaire I sent out for Autograph News UK, a poignant memory now.  R.I.P. Mr Peacock. 

I was thinking the same about Grace Brothers staff - I can only think of Nicholas Smith (Mr Rumbold) and Mike Berry as surviving members of the team.

More sad news - a true stalwart of British comedy for so many years.

Loved Are You Being Served.  It was a great series and Frank Thornton was brilliant too.  R.I.P.
