One of the things that most impresses about John Inman - apart from being a hugely skilled performer - is that he was so effortlessly and naturally charming in everything he did, whether it was Are You Being Served?, Grace and Favour, Odd Man Out, or any other show. You just enjoyed his presence, and that enjoyment never faded.

It is very apparent from this programme that John Inman was a charming and humble man. It also strikes you that his fellow stars of screen and stage got their fame through sheer hard work and talent. Roy Castle, Danny LaRue, Molly Sugden, David Nixon not only was it worth spending a few bob to go and see them on stage or cabaret, they hold a gravitas that is not matched by any so called star of today.

1976 was a great year for John Inman and the Are You Being Served team as a whole. Their show was a huge ratings hot on the BBC with the 1976 series achieving very high ratings. Their 1976 Christmas Special would air two days after this episode, and got big viewers. Their stage show was a super success, outdoing the Dad's Army stage show which was touring at the same time. 1976 was truly a great year for AYBS and possibly they reached a peak, especially all the original cast were still with the show.

He was so gracious and he chatted to me for the whole 45 mins I had my lunch. What a lovely man he was.
