Mollie Sugden: Her career in clips

Best known for her portrayal of Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served?, Mollie Sugden's comic talent lives on in these YouTube clips...

James Donaghy, The Guardian, 2nd July 2009

What did they schedule? Grace and Favour. I rest my case. This is a programme that makes 'Allo 'Allo look like Beckett [...] This is not so much a comedy programme, more your funny aunts and uncles doing a routine at the Christmas party. You simply have to feel well-disposed towards the actors for it to succeed.

Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 26th January 1993
