Loved Are you Being Served? Think that there is only Mr Rumbelow left now.
RIP Captain.
Yes Nicholas Smith who played Mr Rumbold is still around, he is 79 now.
Mike Berry is still about.
...........and scores of other things too.

What a full life he lead! .......and how much more interesting than spending far too many years in offices like me.
Well done Frank, you made your mark!
RIP.
Sadly not anymore RIP Frank
Thanks for the info, although I know. I just didn't want to list everything
Sad to hear about Frank but at 92 a long life well lived with plenty for people to look back on and admire.
RIP Frank and thanks for the laughs ( Are You being Served and Grace and Favour being my favourites)
I know, that's a surprise!
Anyway, will very much miss Cap'n Peacock and 'Truly of the Yard'.
R.I.P., Frank. A life well-lived
Last series was shown in early 1985, twenty-eight years ago.
I can't imagine anyone else playing Captain Peacock half as well.
It certainly does.I am now at that age where the people who were on TV when I was growing up are starting to die through old age.Patrick Moore,Clive Dunne,Richard Briers,Norman Collier,Tony Gubba and now Frank,all in recent months.
