Last week, after a long battle with cancer, Wendy Richard died.
While most people know her as Pauline Fowler in Eastenders, a role she had for 25 years, she is also well remembered as Miss Brahms in Are You Being Served? along with Mrs SLocum and her pussy, and Mr Humphreys' "I'm free".
But her first claim to fame came years earlier in this oft-forgotten 1960s Number 1 comedy hit record:
I really enjoyed her in "Are You Being Served?" Never saw Eastenders, but am sorry to hear of her passing. The song made me laugh, thanks to her!
ReplyDeleteIt was a shame that she lost the battle in the end, but she fought long and hard against her disease.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, I was singing along really enjoying that one; I haven't heard it in years
