Comedy and pathos on stage and television
Alfie Bass, actor, who died yesterday at the age of 66, used his
irrepressible Cockney Jewish talent to establish a range of stage and
television characters over the years.

Didn't he also play Mr. Goldberg in "Are You Being Served?"

Yes, and that makes him immortal. AYBS seems to be a permanent fixture on PBS
stations in WashDC and Maryland - it's been running continuously for probably
25 years now.
