    If I had a coworker like Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries at the liquor store where I work, I'd never be depressed.

    It is so sad, but there has been no one else like John Inman. I have seen a few actors try to "be Mr. Humphries" and no one has succeeded.

    One of the things I loved about Mr. Humphries's character, it's clear that he's gay or at least not completely straight. And yet everyone else at the workplace loves him and enjoy spending time with him. None of them are nasty to him, you can tell that Mr. Lucas (whose very straight) considers Mr. Humphries his best friend at work and the way they talk, they probably hang out outside of work too. Mr. Humphries is also shown in a happy light, he's smart, witty, friendly, kind, and fun. No tragic shunning or unhappy life for Mr. Humphries. Considering the time period this show is set in, that was impressive to see for a queer character.

      People wouldn't be exactly nasty, but Peacock and Grainger would make snide little remarks now and then.
