John Inman, the actor best known for his role in the British television series Are You Being Served?, died yesterday at St. Mary's Hospital in London after a long illness, said manager Phil Dale.
Mr. Inman played Mr. Humphries, a menswear salesman in a London department store, in the long-running British Broadcasting Corp. comedy, which ran for 65 episodes between 1973 and 1985 and was made into a feature-length film.
