Just seen the BBC dedicated an episode of Are You Being Served to Frank Thornton. Don't remember that episode but he was dressed as a woman...very funny indeed. R.I.P Frank!
Yes they were indeed artificial, and made by the BBC props department. I think it is noted in one of the Summer Wine books, possible The Finest Vintage.
Worth a bid by all Summer Wine enthusiasts...

Very sad news indeed! Heard it on the radio coming home from work, and brought a tear to my eye. Was very fortunate to meet Mr Thornton on several occassions and always had time for a chat/ photograph! A true gentleman, comedy legend who will be sadly missed! RIP Truly...
