Mr. Peacock, also known as Mr. Rumbold in "Are You Being Served?", acted as the manager of the Grace Brothers department store. He was often portrayed as bumbling, indecisive, and easily flustered. However, he was also professional, polite, and tried to maintain order among the staff, especially when dealing with their various antics and mishaps.
Mr. Lucas, portrayed by actor Trevor Bannister, left "Are You Being Served?" after the show's seventh series due to a combination of personal reasons and a desire to pursue other opportunities. Bannister found that he wanted to explore different roles and felt it was time to move on from the character. His departure was written into the show, leading to Mr. Lucas's exit from Grace Brothers department store.
No, he never served in the military.
