As we approach 2025, the question remains: Who of the original cast is still with us?
The show, renowned for its sharp wit and unforgettable characters, has seen the passing of many iconic actors. Wendy Richard, who brought the feisty Miss Brahms to life, left us in 2009. Her on-screen charm and Cockney sass are fondly remembered. John Inman, the flamboyant Mr. Humphries, known for his catchphrase, “I’m free,” passed away in 2007, while Trevor Bannister, the cheeky Mr. Lucas, followed in 2011.
Molly Sugden, who embodied the sharp-witted Mrs. Slocombe, and Frank Thornton, the proud Captain Peacock, both left us in 2009 and 2013 respectively, their comedic brilliance forever etched in television history. Nicholas Smith, who portrayed the bumbling Mr. Rumbold, passed in 2015, marking another significant loss in the show’s legacy.

Their contributions shaped a generation of comedy and will forever resonate with fans.
