LOL No there were two other ones, a youngish one and the older gentleman,
and I meant Mr Granger (sorry don't know his real name) the actor must be in
his eighties by now.

  I'm not sure if he's still alive (seeing as Molly Sugden - Ms Slocomb in
the
  series - is in her mid 80s and he seemed about her age).

  And I reply through the giggles:
  Please tell me you don't mean John Inman. I'm really not taking the piss
out of you, but John Inman??? Really???? The campest man who ever lived as
Mad-Eye Moody!? Every adult in the audience who used to watch Are You Being
Served would wet their pants, I definitely couldn't take him seriously.

  Screw it, let's get Graham Norton to play Cedric.
