Actor Nicholas Smith who played the role of Mr Rumbold in the BBC Comedy Series " Are You Being Served " has passed away age 81. He was the last surviving member of the original cast. Known with the nickname of " Jug Ears " by his fellow workers in the series.
I believe this comedy went down very well in The U.S. for some reason.

Well, i liked it, but I have a little more respect for the people and countries of the Old World than the average American. I enjoyed "Keeping Up Appearances" for background noise as well.

Beats setting your toddler in front of Sesame St.

A great series "and I am unanimous in this".
