just the theme song tells you all you need to know. Expecting the same success as the original just by going all in on the most popular character. it's so misguided it's embarassing
Loving these episodes, thanks for posting! The character name changes are a bit odd. The acting is decent overall, though it would be impossible to replace the UK original actors. While, IMHO, the UK version is more organically funny, the AUS version one-ups the joke starting at 11:23 better with Mr Humphries' reaction.
If by "Yanks" you mean the Americans, let me tell you that they did. It's called "Beane's of Boston", made by David Croft, who worked on Are You Being Served. The only episode was the pilot, as it never became a full series.
Why did they bother remaking it? The sets are virtually the same, the characters are virtually the same, the stories are pretty much the same, and both versions have perfectly understandable English that can be understood in both countries.
If what I read was true, there were copyright issues with showing the original show in Australia, so they just made a "copy" and aired it until the original show could be aired. After that, this show was left to the dustbin of history.
what was the point of making a fuss about changing if she didn't have anything to put ON? The basic script is still here, but so many dumb changes. and some mediocre acting
Nice attempt at making an Australian version of the show, but only Mr. Humpries was any good at his roll. Still it was better then the American attempt with the unpicked up pilot The Beane's of Boston, total garbage and understandable why it was never picked up. The actors were good, but the delivery of their rolls just did not work as well as the original British show.
I never knew this show existed. An Australian version? Wow! 😮
It's like I fell into a parallel universe. I like it though.
The British version of this show was brilliant.
June Bronhill is amazing. ❤️
What a voice.
Didn’t know that this series existed…..!!
Thank you posting!
OMG this is the funniest episode.🤣🥰
This might have worked better if they had different scripts, but to me if just is painful.
Joanna Lumley was the His & Hers girl in the UK version.
That was her first tv appearance if I'm not mistaken
@@darraghgregory1269 It was yes.. she would return as the "German Wife" in the episode "German Week" in the 3rd season..
@@KNPrince yes I was thinking 🤔 that
It's horrible in Australian.
love thiese series.

😂😂😂😂 Love the series
they changed a few things but basically the same as the UK episode
Were both Mr. Bone and Mr. Grace 'majority shareholders' in his & hers???
I'm guessing 50/50...

And I'll admit, the change in the ending was a nice twist and I think the new ending works better than the original.
This was the original. The UK version was a copy.
@@fjccommish Are you feeling alright? Delusions kicking in? Conservative brain is a disease.
The his and hers story went out in the uk in the 1970’s
John Inman the only one that is original ftom are you being served
I prefer the other one and they only have Mr Humphrey and they all got different names
Abigail Rogan is absolutely breathtaking!
this was great!
This is quite good
Love to watch it is very good h
John Inman. Must have done this purely for the money. It obviously wasn't for the laughs
Oh that’s Abigail
Original UK version was funnier actors were much much better. Cant think of any other actors than the originals❤
Why did they bother ? Worst than if the Yanks did it.😪😪😪😪

You are right, We screwed up Beans of Boston.
This just isn’t as funny as the original
Completely lacks all the charm of the original

Jolly good try....similar but not quite the charm & comic quality of the UK version! Can't duplicate perfection of the original UK show!

Awful
This show is so very British. It doesn’t work in Australia. It is so AWFUL.
I disagree some what. John Inman and June Bronhill made it better then what it could have been.
this hurt to watch, the acting was abysmal. much prefer the original, their chemistry was more natural, this felt forced and very fake.
