A programme of tributes by friends, colleagues and family to the actress Mollie Sugden, who died earlier this month and was best known for her portrayal of Mrs Betty Slocombe in the BBC sitcom Are You Being Served? In the 1970s Sugden also appeared as Mrs Hutchinson in The Liver Birds, but it was through her incarnation of the socially aspiring Mrs Slocombe, with her garish hair rinses and eternal references to her cat as "my pussy", that the Yorkshire actress achieved something close to comic immortality.
