andsome Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 John Inman ( I'm free), has died age 71. Although 'Are you being served' may be considered very dated today, I always thought in it's day it was very funny, corny yes, but funny. John was a lovable character, and never offensive, the innuendo was always a good laugh.RIP John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I used to watch 'Are you being served' as a kid, with my grand mother. Sorry to see he has passed, he was always a lovable character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 For me he made camp comedy fun, and inoffensive, together with others like Kenneth Williams, Frankie Howard. Kenny Everett etc. Unlike revolting people like Julian Clary, to name but one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Julian Clary comes across as a supercilious, snobbish, sarcastic and bitter old queen. Not in the least bit amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the least bit amusing.He/she/it makes me feel thoroughly sick. Larry Grayson was another amusing camp comedian. He slipped my memory when I made the above posting.
