Frank Thornton, who has died at the age of 92, was a character actor who spent more than 20 years in bit parts until achieving national fame as the pompous Captain Peacock in the BBC sitcom Are You Being Served?
Ah, such a funny and outlandish sitcom filled with great talents.
And there was a movie. I didn’t know.

Followers on Twitter know I am (in)famous for giving this advice to potential mass killers:

UCF death: Male commits suicide at dorm, police find guns, improvised explosive devices
Police found the male dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It was not immediately clear if the male is a student.
In addition to the handgun, police also found an assault weapon and improvised explosive devices in the room, Heston said.
Clearly he had plans that did not include just his own death.
But he did the right thing.
I feel sorry for whatever pain drove him to create that stockpile, but he did not disgrace himself by taking it out on others. May he rest in peace.
