"Surely John Inman and Morrissey could never appear in the same scene. Well, they do. Sort of. This is a new kind of impression show."

A very posh, slightly camp, yet intellectual-sounding Morrissey giving John Inman a few tips (no pun intended!) on Frankenstein and a few other things.
For those outside that don't know - John Inman was a well-loved actor from a BBC 70s TV show called "Are You Being Served?". The sitcom was about the goings-on in a department store. John Inman played a slighly camp gents outfitter, Mr Humphries.
When asked -- "Mr Humphries, are you free?", he would tout his timeless catchphrase "I'm Free!!"
Find out more about John, his career, and hear that that classic catchphrase here...

I didn't click on the link above in the news story. From the comments, I'm glad I didn't. But, it's nice to think about the show and how much I really enjoy it. I wish BBC America would pick it up. Right now they're too concerned with Star Trek: The Next Generation...and why, I have NO idea.
