    "She's a lucky cow!" Brilliant because that's EXACTLY what Mrs. Slocombe would have said about Molly Sugden. What a lovely, lovely woman and so dearly missed. She and Patricia Routledge could easily have played conniving sisters, that would have been amazing.

    The casting of AYBS is the thing that made the show. And I am unanimous in that.

      Check PBS listing for Saturday evenings. Our PBS affiliate in San Antonio plays 2 episodes of Keeping Up Appearances. Britcoms rule.

      I can’t remember the last time the BBC made a really good sitcom. It seems to have lost its sense of humour. So we have to pretend that mediocre efforts like The Vicar of Dibley were in fact brilliant

      ​@@AurumEtAesThe BBC haven't made a good sitcom since the 1970s. Even the 1980s episodes of 'Are You Being Served?' weren't very good.

    What a lovely person. She was modest in a very sincere way and quietly acknowledged her success without boasting about it. That is quite a feat in itself! I liked how she spoke about her career but balanced it with being just another mother. Unlike Mrs. Slocombe, Molly Sugden puts on no airs and graces and certainly no delusions of grandeur. That's probably why she remained funny until the end.

    Great interview- never seen that before. On talking about AYBS, I'm kinda surprised they didn't mention her, errr, "cat." It could be that by 1995, the word had fully adopted the "other" meaning and would be deemed to risque!

    I wish the BBC had funded more seasons of "Grace And Favor". Just watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and they could have developed that into such a wonderful second series had they done more seasons. The two that exist are amazing as they are but that world would have been so unique to explore with that cast

    Loved that show, A.Y.B. Served. Still to this date, great cast. Sadly, in the U.S. Never saw how some of the characters were written off. Mr. Lucas mainly, I think they stated how/ why Mr. Granger was gone but can not remember at this time, But nothing on Mr. Lucas or those that kept taken over Mr. Grangers position. 3 or 4 in total, was it ?
