“𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?” ✨“𝐈'𝐦 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞!!!”✨ Beloved British actor John Inman as the irrepressible Mr. Humphries, Wendy Richard as Miss Brahms and Trevor Bannister as Mr. Lucas in the Are You Being Served? episode entitled The Father Christmas Affair, originally broadcast by the BBC on December 24th, 1976. One of the best known Britcoms of its era, Are You Being Served? ran from 1972 until 1985 and spawned a feature film in 1977 as well as a TV revival featuring most of the original cast entitled Grace and Favour (aka: Are You Being Served Again! in North America) in 1992-93. Popular around the world, Inman’s portrayal of Mr. Humphries was groundbreaking in the way lgbtq+ characters were featured in mass media. Though the character was often described on the show as being “neither here nor there” with regard to his sexuality, it was very heavily implied by the show’s writers that he was, in fact, gay. Inman, who was gay in real life, ran with it and played Mr. Humphries in the most outrageously camp and flamboyant manner possible. One of the reasons Are You Being Served? stands out today is that the character was accepted and respected by his co-workers at the London department store the show was set in, a positive and progressive stance for a television series in the 1970s and 1980s when lgbtq+ characters were vastly under-represented (if not invisible) and were too often depicted as figures to be scorned or made fun of. Mr. Humphries, fiercely, confidently and unabashedly, just was who he was, and John Inman’s memorably over-the-top portrayal became a vital part of the show’s enduring success and popularity.
