this truly was the week of death.
michael jackson.
farrah fawcett.
karl malden.
billy mays.
...and now mrs. slocumbe. and she actually meant more to me than all of the above four. combined.
mollie sugden, one of britain's most beloved comedic actresses passed away at the age of 86 yesterday.
she was spot-on in her delivery and timing, particularly as the iconic mrs. slocumbe on are you being served?, one of the GREATEST TV SHOWS EVER.
no stranger to the bbc, mollie was also known for her titular role on come back, mrs. noah, as the overbearing matriarch on the liver birds, and her impressive dramatic stint on coronation street.
she also recently guest starred in a hilarious skit for little britain.
a true comedic legend.
taken away.
i really can't deal with this.
i will be dedicating my entire weekend to a much-deserved aybs marathon, courtesy of the 14 season box set i bought a while ago.
mrs. slocumbe will hopefully join miss. brahams and mr. humphrey in that great big department store in the sky.
