    Irreplaceable. They don't make comedy like this any more.

    RIP Mollie.

    would it be horribly inappropriate to listen to Another One Bites The Dust by Queen?

    seriously though, what is with all the celebrities dying this week?

    RIP, all of them.

    I don't mean to be insensitive, but she was 86, so it's not like this is a terrible tragedy out of the blue.

    That pussy clip is hilarious!

    It is a tragedy not a shock... Slight difference in words there.

    Oh, that's sad. I haven't watched Are You Being Served in years (Saturday nights on PBS, back then), but I loved it. She was so fantastic. RIP, Mollie Sugden.

    I am so delighted to see people 15, 18, 20 who are aware of and familiar with, "Are You Being Served"! My college housemates and I watched that show religiously years ago (OK, we were all a little odd) and absolutely adored it! There were so many incredible episodes, and such wonderful character development.

    I'm sorry to hear that Mollie passed away, but perhaps this will stimulate a resurgence in interest in the show, and a whole new generation of people will come to adore it :slight_smile:
