Captain Peacock
Captain Stephen Peacock is a fictional character from the BBC One comedy show, ''Are You Being Served?''. He was played by Frank Thornton, who went on to take the popular role of Truly in ''Last of the Summer Wine''.
==Role==
Captain Peacock, the somewhat stuffy floorwalker, considers himself above the assistants with both his position and his dubious military record. Allegedly, despite his rank, Peacock began as a sweeper in the stockroom. By 1975 he has been working at Grace Brothers for 20 years.
The question most viewers asked was: in what corps was Peacock a captain? In the pilot episode Mrs. Slocombe mentions annoyance with Peacock's posh "Royal Signals Corps voice". Although Peacock later brags about being in the Royal Engineers and his experiences fighting Rommel in North Africa, Mr. Mash likes to tell the staff that Peacock served in the NAAFI instead, and probably didn't ever leave England. Although Peacock usually talks as if he were a member of an elite Commando unit, on two occasions he admits he was in the Royal Army Service Corps (logistics) - in addition, throughout the series he wears the RASC tie. Mr. Goldberg, who blackmails Peacock into hiring him to replace Mr. Tebbs, confirms that Peacock served in North Africa but hints that Peacock's real rank was Corporal.
