I love this show. I bet they would all be shocked if they knew that the Queen reigned until September 2022!! Mr Humphries' legs would certainly give away.☺
The radio play rehearsal was one of the funniest bits they ever did on the show. I would have loved to see the writers work this out, and the cast rehearse it.
Absolutely LOVE this show, wasn't crazy about the movie though. I would have given anything to have met John Inman, his portrayal of Mr. Humphreys was and is perfect.
I met him back in the late 90’s. It was amazing. He was just as you’d think, down to earth and so kind. A year or so after that I met Trever Banister. I’m so thankful that I had the chance!!! Great memories of great people.
Such a wonderful show, full of good fantastic fun. Amazing cast and writing. The good times of comedy has gone. you can't take the micky out of anything now.
Yes,better. They sounded funny in regular speed. This episode wasn't as funny as the others,but still a good episode. One if my favorite shows. The part with Mrs. Slocum and the trucker was the funniest part😂😂
A lot of the later episodes became too theatrical - often happens with writers when they run out of ideas. It becomes a show rather than a sit com set in a clothing store. I think this is why Seinfeld got out when he was at the top of his game and Fawlty Towers only did 12 episodes.
I agree with you. I don’t even watch the later episodes. The first 5 seasons of this show were the best. 6 was just OK and the rest were sort of a disaster.
Fantastic series which I have loved since their very first broadcast - I presume the rapid speed is to avoid it being pulled 'off air' by the You Tube Bots ? Anyway still funny !
I think after season 7 Trevor Bannister/Mr Dick Lucas left the show i agree I can see he's not funny Mr Lucas was far more funnier especially when he and Mrs Slocombe bickered back and forth
Apparently more lines were given to Mr Humphries Mr. Lucas was too "old" for a junior and his parts were seemingly getting smaller, so he felt obliged to leave.
Other sources say he left because filming clashed with a long tour of a play he had a role in. But yes, the show was started as a vehicle for Bannister, as the "straight man" (no pun intended 😂) among a group of oddball characters. He originally shared top billing with Molly Smudgen. He did have a successful stage and pantomime carreer before and after AYBS, and went on to regular roles in Last of the Summer Wine and Coronation Street.
I can immediately tell that this is an early episode. The characters weren't fully developed into the perfection this show became. For instance Captain Peacock didn't have his signature baritone like voice. I'm an American and my daughter watches British cartoons (Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom) and the only sitcom show I watch is this show and I listen to Ricky Gervais, Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchants podcast along with Russell's podcast from time to time. My Grandfather says I need to watch Benny Hill. I've heard it's great, just haven't the time as of late.
Actually 3 of the original characters are no longer in it , this is actually one of the last of the series. You obviously dont know much about the show at all
@@slavbrav69 no, I don't. I remember watching it as a kid with my grandpop and I just started watching it again. I learned that the tapes were played at a higher speed for copyright reasons.
I just love this show . But it's not as good as when MR LUCAS was in it . He was one of the best . The man who took his place isn't that good. Don't watch it as much as I did 😢
At the end of the credits, there are the Roman numerals "MCMLXXXIII" (1983). You can see them if you watch a better video, found by searching online: *Are You Being Served s09e04 Calling All Customers*

This is seems to be of poor quality. Sometimes, it sounds as though the characters are speaking into tinfoil or like the Munchkins on The Wizard of Oz.
@@sandrajovic9304 Nope. I stumbled on this crap because it came up in a search. That's what you crumbs do - upload distorted versions to waste people's time. You're weak as water, and I am unanimous on that.
This upload is really weird, it is nothing like the version from the dvd or when it is shown on tv. All the actors and actresses sound like they are drunk and it is shown at a very bad angle.
The track speed of the video is slow, ruining the entire episode. Fix or delete, as this show is too good to have it sound like they're all in slow motion
I was so excited to see this episode, but alas it is unwatchable! Why do you zoom in so much! The only way to enjoy this is if you act as though it is an old time radio show.

These type of sitcoms are classics for ever

I’ve watched these so many times I don’t need the video lol

@@interestedobserver1853 Percocet for the cranial separation procedure.
I still thought it was hilarious when they did the radio show, especially using the plunger for the kissing sound. 😂😂
Nothing today 2022 compares with 70's 80's or early 90's

My favourite British comedy Lmao 😂 omg I m crying 😂😂😂
I can't say what I want to about Mrs slocum's cat but you get what I'ma saying😉
I've laughed so hard I cried..Mr. Humphreys lol
Yes the 70 episodes were finnier I still watch these sitcoms 😂😂😂
This is one of the greatest cast ever
Can we all stop and appreciate the fact that one of the people on the CB radio was Hagrid from the Harry Potter films
You do realise that that was Mike Berry, the menswear 'junior' Mr Spooner, faking a Scottish accent...??!

ROBBIE COLTRANE
Or Robbie Coltrane as he was actually known.
This is the first episode I wasn't thrilled with. Except for Mr. Humphries' aggravation, it was not the usual laughs and fun. JMO
I wish I could find a normal video of this so I can see Mr. Humphries and Mrs. Slocombe in their punk costumes in full screen. Best characters ❤

Would love to see the re-runs back on TV again.
