This is a fantastic tribute! I had no idea he had passed on. I remember watching that show when I was a kid. I also remember that I was too young to get any of his jokes, but laughed myself silly when I watched them as an adult.
There are some totally rubbish tributes on the internet.......... thankfully, this is not one of them. I don't think I've ever seen one this good. Thank you.
I love your tribues to John Inman and Are you Being Served and your own shorts...films that is :) Do you know 'INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO" with James Lipton... well, he always asks his celebrity guests, "If God exists what would you like to hear him say when you reach the pearly gates?" in John's case...it was "ARE YOU FREE?" to which he replied "YES, I'M FREE."
aw man *now* i get the news that my boy inman is gone. the 1st time i watched are you being served? i was in my senior yr of high school. a very entertaining show but mr humphries wound up my favorite! he was cool.--ks
I have only watched Are You Being Served? twice, but I adored Mr. Humpries from the start. Of course my parents tease me (as they do when I talk off Boy George..), but I really don't care. Amazing man John is, and how wonderful he made the show. I hope he will never be forgotten, sadly when the adult generation is gone, I think only a few of my generation will remember him. (I am 14) It's terrible to think of that. But thanks ever so much for this tribute; made me truly smile. I'm free!
Hey, it ok, I'm 15 and I love the series and Mr. Humphries, I was sad when I heard about it...and I know I will remeber him and the show for the rest of my life, and I will do my best to show the...show around to friends. So he will atleast be remember by a few loyal fans. ^_^
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS! I WANTED TO POST THIS SHORT TRIBUTE SO HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. SADLY MANY OF OUR GREAT COMEDY ACTORS BEFORE HIM HAVE...EG- Kenneth Williams, Bob Monkhouse, Les Dawson...The list is endless-Just like the laughter they bring.
@duncaninchina A great tribute to a great comic actor. His legacy will live on everytime I watch an old episode of AYBS. So sad that most of the cast of that show are gone to their eternal rest. They will live in our hearts forever.
Amen to that, Eric Sykes, Eric Morcambe, Peter Sellers, Joyce Grenfell so many.
By a wierd connection my father attended Eric Morcambes funeral. When everyone was back at the house his 6 year old grandson asked his grandmother, Eric's wife, why grandad wasn't there?
A silence fell across the room as she replied.
"He's gone to do a special performance in heaven for God.".
After a short pause her g-dson replied, "Does that mean all the magic stops now"?
i remember watching this show on PBS in the late 80's/early 90's with my mom. it was my first exposure to both british comedy and gays on tv shows. he portrayed a stereotype, but that doesn't matter. he (or his character, i should say) showed me, gay at 13, that it's ok to be gay, that you will have friends who will accept you even if you are gay, and that i wasn't the only gay person on the planet. thank you so much for the laughter and the comfort, Mr Inman. we owe you so much.
As my one of my favorite BBC actors I'm sorry to see John leave this earth.I leared to love Mr.Humpries the king of "I'm Free".Thank you for the laughter you have given us.God Bless you John Inman
Did they ever made a tribute to Arthur Brough? 1905-1978? the senior-head of the gentlements department.Or Harold Benneth,the big boss of the whole store 1899-1981?
Ah, a real genius x
