A very funny show, loaded with double entendres about Mrs Slocombe's cat.

As sad as I am about her passing away the temptation to add a comment about her cat was great. I guess that just shows how amusing the joke was,at the time anyway.
Very sad that this terrific actress is no longer alive.

Awww, that show was a classic.
My friend had a .. cat .. and we could never talk about it without using her voice and the double entendres.

A woman walked into a bar and asked for a double entendre, so the barman gave her one.

I really enjoy "Are You Being Served?" Sadly, it seems that PBS in my neck of the woods is no longer carrying it along with their other Britcoms. I miss the wonderful laughter she brought to me every Sunday night. Rest In Peace Molly.

I don't ever get to watch British comedies...except "Are You Being Served", which I really enjoyed. She was very funny. Sad to see her pass.

She was such a great comedienne. We've lost a lot of great entertainers recently. But she could always make me laugh with just an expression - and a(nother) hair color. RIP Mrs Slocombe indeed.
