Ah! the joys of being young!

Captain Peacock was the floor manager in the Mens' apparel section of Grace Bros store in the TV series 'Are You Being Served?'.

It was in the days when there was little allowance for rude words on TV but when humour was an essential part of the series.

The main catchphrase I remember is 'I'm free' by Mr Humphries, and indirect references to Mrs Slocombe's pussy.


there may have been other Captain Peacock's but they are irrelevencies.
