Short tribute that I put together to John Inman. British comedy actor. Died 8th March 2007. Famous for his then ground-breaking role as "camp" shop assistant "Mr Humphries" in the long running 70's BBC comedy series "Are you being served". His well known catchprase "I'm Free" became not only a legend but also the most popular catchphrase in Sit-com history!

  • 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

    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"?

    Out of the mouths of babes.

  • @smudge6699 Eric Sykes is still with us, fortunately. He gave life to many well loved comics, including the great Frankie Howerd 8-))

  • 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."
