The last surviving cast member of the show.
Different times, apparently they now give a warning on UK Gold when showing because of the depiction of John Inman’s character.

Just 82? l think that's a pretty good innings personally.
Just about the last of the semi regular stars of Are You Being Served to pass surely?

They do that for many old sitcoms now. Even for Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, they put up a caption stating that the comedy is "of it's time".

Yes , not a bad age … A decent performer who never quite made the absolute top of the rock world . Apparently he kept working to the end . RIP Mike..

RIP Mr Berry. Different times, but Are You Being Served? still makes me laugh.

I saw Mrs Slocombe’s pussy a few years ago - although to be fair I think it had seen better days.

Presumably with a name like that he's not going to be cremated?

I can still sit and watch AYBS when it pops up on gold, but sadly cant identify with Mike Berry's character simply because he was not an original. Shame really.
Always made me chuckle when they sat in the canteen, squashed up on three side of the table in order to face the cameras.

That song was banned by the BBC for being too morbid.
Grace Bros always struck me as being grossly over-staffed, based on customer foot fall. I’m amazed it lasted as a going concern long as it did, given the amount of overhead it was carrying.
How Capt Peacock escaped redundancy baffles me.
