In real life, John Inman had a male domtic partner. However, there are actually more bi-sexuals than pure homosexuals. The Mr. Humphri character is much more ambiguo than real life. In the begng of the seri durg the 70s, Mr. Humphri is more of a "Mama's boy". He is never shown to have a real relatnship wh anyone male or female. As time went on the seri, was apparent that everyone he worked wh knew he was gay (and that beme part of the jok). Very scpuloly, Mr. Humphri and his lleagu never ever directly say the word "gay". It is always an alln. <br> <br>In this twelve episo seri, I am probably at Episo 10 right now. It is a very, very strange relatnship. Ms. Moulherd (the farmer's young dghter) ed to sleep wh the chef. Now, she sists on sleepg wh Mr. Humphri. Mr. Humphri is too kd to say that he is "gay". On the other hand, he don't seem to md sleepg wh her - suggtg that he is a ltle bi-sexual. <br> <br>Ms. Moulherd is rather naive, and she seems to jt want to cuddle up wh someone. I thought that was the pot of their sleepg the same bed. She need a pann. I thought wasn't sexual. Now, the last episo she said that she was a "champn kisser". Weird. Is she tryg to get Mr. Humphri to exprs real sexual feelgs towards her now? Is he gog to reveal his te sexual orientatn on Episo 12?
