Are You Being Served? (1972) producer
David Croft remembered
that Brough would often disappear off the set. "Whenever we were
rehearsing he'd vanish at about three minutes to eleven," Croft
recalled. "For a while we wondered where he went, but eventually
discovered that he'd nip next door to the pub for a quick pink gin.
We'd watch from the window as this little figure hurtled towards the pub, we never spoke to him about it. One day when he returned,
John Inman asked where he'd been. He made some excuse, but what
he'd forgotten was that it was pouring with rain and his bald head was
soaking wet!".
