I love that series. Didn’t realize he was the last surviving cast member.

Rest in peace, Mr. Smith.

RIP Mr. Smith.

I love that show, found it on PBS back in the early 90's. I was just wondering if anyone was left, and then this...

Candy Davis and Mike Berry are still alive, but Nicholas Smith was the last of the original cast.

RIP Old Jug Ears.

This show made me a fan of Britcoms.

I enjoyed watching the show especially since we got it on the PBS stations. Many times it was the only thing we could get with the rabbit ears. RIP Mr. Smith.

We had been watching the show for two years on a black and white TV in our bedroom before I discovered that Mrs. Slocombe’s hair was colored. I discovered this when I realized we had left the TV on in the family room and I went down to turn it off. I went running upstairs yelling, “Mrs. Slocombe has blue hair!!!”
No big deal these days;-)

Great show.
Even thinking about Wibbly-Wobblies still cracks me up.
