Wendy Richards has been fighting breast cancer for the past few years, which is probably why she looked ill during her time on Eastenders - it's not a programme I watch so can't comment whether she did, as you say, look like she'd flayed her own face. She has since made it public knowledge that treatment has failed and she has only months to live. I'm willing to venture that her looks aren't uppermost in her mind at this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-38956715138321266322009-02-13T08:03:00.000-08:002009-02-13T08:03:00.000-08:00Giuseppe:Just to let you know that there are other...Giuseppe:<BR/><BR/>Just to let you know that there are others out there who enjoy "Are You Being Served?" and consider it to be a prime example of classic British comedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-13535864334850102662009-02-13T07:26:00.000-08:002009-02-13T07:26:00.000-08:00Our PBS station has the Brit Coms on Saturday nigh...Our PBS station has the Brit Coms on Saturday nights...that one cracks me up in small doses (I prefer Hyacinth's antics in "Keeping Up Appearances").

I can't believe you liked this show! Bloody...Jesus! I can't believe you liked this show! Bloody Molly Sugden going on abour her pussy and John Inman as a pantomime poof....just awful. (Wendy Craig, who played the dolly bird, was until recently in a primetime soap opera over here called Eastenders. She now looks so bad she looks as if she has flayed her own face and is wearing it as a mask). There was a follow up series (even worse) where the appalling, hammy cast ran a hotel together. " You've all done very well" ... I don't think so.<BR/>I realise it was from the 70's but they were still going well into the 80's when contemporaneous shows like the sublimely surreal "Oh No! Here Comes Selwin Froggit!" (in which the peerless Bill Maynard lumbered about knocking things over for half an hour each week) were cancelled.<BR/>PS, for high 70's fashion you need to check out Mr. Rodney Bews character Bob in "Whatever Happened to The Likely Lads?" one of the very best programmes on at the time (fondly remembered by all). Oh, and Rising Damp with Leonard Rossitor, Don Warrington (still sexy) and poor old Richard (father of Kate) Beckinsale. Great stuff, unlike AYBS.Cyclo2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08751923460203053042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-22268915595145212822009-02-12T22:09:00.000-08:002009-02-12T22:09:00.000-08:00This was 1972 after all.This was 1972 after all.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-45416319618294685202009-02-12T22:05:00.000-08:002009-02-12T22:05:00.000-08:00take a look at the lapels Mr Lucas and his custome...take a look at the lapels Mr Lucas and his customer are sporting!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625785169598584599noreply@blogger.com
