RIP – Wendy Richard

Wendy Richard died yesterday. So Sad.

I first knew her from Are You Being Served?. I used to watch it on PBS after Letterman and later Conan O’Brien.

The theme tune of which was referenced in Ladytron’s Paco!. Watch it set to an PSA.

When I started spending a lot of time in London, I got hooked on EastEnders. Unfortunately, her character Pauline Fowler died soon after I became a fan.

So, so sad.

Dennis you are so down with the obscure deaths. But scarily I know who almost all of these people are. I think it has something to do with where we are from.

Hi,

I saw you mention Wendy Richard in your blog, so I thought this might interest you.

I run an official "Are You Being Served?" site at:

http://www.aybscentral.com

There are a lot of images and info pertaining to all the cast members.

There is also a lot of other stuff for the AYBS fan including a blog, forum and an online role playing game.

Enjoy!
