Posted: April 16th, 2011, 12:05 pm
I just heard Trever Bannister has died at age 76 of a heart attack on his allotment. Trevor is best known for his role of Mr. Lucas in the sit com, set in a department store Are You Being Served and its movie spin-off. Sadly most of the cast have died, but Frank Thornton (Peacock) Nicholas Smith (Rumpole) and Mike Berry (Spooner) are still living
Trevor had a small non-speaking role as an RAF pilot in Reach For The Sky in 1956, but it's for tv he's best known. He was bin man 'Heavy Breathing' in the sit-com The Dustbin Men, played a dramatic role with fellow AYBS star Wendy Richard in the soap The Newcomers, was a villain in a Roger Moore Saint, but as already stated it's as Mr. Lucas in AYBS he's best known.
Trevor did also joined the cast of Last Of The Summer Wine in its last yrs, joining AYBS actor Frank Thornton
