  3. Oh!   It seems that all our good character actors are disappearing for an audience with God.  I liked John and enjoyed his camp 'mincing' character in 'Are you being Served'.  Gone now....but not forgotten.  God Bless him.   Jeanie

  4. I always enjoyed the subtle humor of Are you being served.....I still catch reruns of the show from time to time. At the very least he can say his image is forever immotalized in the shows his acted in. This is indeed a sad loss.(Hugs) Indigo

  6. Oh, I remember him.  I don't know who I like the best English or American comics.  doc has introduced me to every comic I didn't know on earth.  Now we have to watch Sorry every week and Tim Corbett, and of course he lovcs Monty Python and showed me the Life of Brian for the first time.  I gasped.  I could not imagine how they got away with it.  Never in America.  But I enjoyed every minute of it.   Gerry
