Trevor Bannister, who played the role of ladies' man Mr Lucas in the department store comedy Are You Being Served? has died at the age of 76.He suffered a heart attack on Thursday at his allotment in Thames.
Bannister had a lengthy career including appearances in the long-running police drama Z Cars, and more recently a stint in Last of the Summer Wine.

Ah thats a shame Marek. I really liked that guy..both in his early days as Mr Lucas and then when he remerged again on Last of the Summer Wine many years later. He did make a solid and lasting contribution to British Comedy. The old days are being eroded....sigh

Same here Howard, he was a good actor as well.
Jeane, you just made me feel my age.
