I recently had my nephew staying with me. 30 years younger than me. Sitting in the house one night, I put on an episode of "Are You Being Served?" His first reaction when it started was "What's this crap? I answered "its an old British comedy I watched when I was your age." He said "I don't wanna watch some stupid old show like this. Can't we watch something good?" Me: "It's my house, we're watching this." By the end of the episode he was laughing his ass off. Asked me "Are there more of these?" We spent the rest of his visit watching the whole series. Successfully converted him to a "Are You Being Served?" fan!
I did much the same over 10 years ago with the daughters of my neighbors, who were from Russia. Their house burned down and I was babysitting while the parents sifted rubble. The girls loved "Star Wars" but I have the unedited original movies, so they didn't like them. I knew they were interested in ancient Egypt, so in desperation I asked: "Do you want to watch three guys looking for a mummy inside a pyramid?" It was a 3 Stooges flick. They sat stone-faced through it. When it was over, they looked at me and asked: "Do you have more of these guys?" After 3 hours of the 3 Stooges, even I was sick of them. 😄
Used to do that with my kids & B&W movies & Old Time Radio & classic music sometimes. Give them a taste- sometimes it really opens doors & their eyes. My oldest son loved Charlie Chapln & the others would watch some too, but classic Hollywood comedy without all the current day trash & profanity & it's very clever writing back then is so much better. As we say, today's kids - they don't know what they're missing.
I love this show. Been watching since the 1980s. Love the fun this show brings. It always makes me laugh ,no matter how many times I've seen. Love Molly and John . My favorites!❤
This has been my favorite show since I discovered it on PBS when I was a preteen. I'm 42 now, so it's been a good 30 years. I still absolutely love this show, even though I know it by heart.
Its sad to know that all of the main characters have passed on. A couple of the secretaries are still alive and i believe Mr. Spooner. The comedy still holds 40 years later and blows anything current out of the water. The chemistry between everyone is perfect.
iam a jamaican I use to watch are being served back then when I was living in Jamaica enjoy watching it very 😂 still do now mrs slocombe is very funny love her shocking color wigs I enjoy watching are u been served thumps up this this English comedy
I remember when John aka Mr Humphreys came to Atlanta to promote merchandise and help GPTV raise money. He was so nice and kind. It was a joy to meet him. Most of the cast was still alive. I do love British. Comedies. This show made a lot my weekends more enjoyable. Also the Manor. Pity that one didn't last long. But I loved this cast.Mrs Slocum and her 😺. RIP to them all, They Did Very Well.🙏🥰💖👐🌹💐🤗. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee J. They don't make comedies like this no more. I love these episodes of Are you being Served. ✌️🕯️🖖💞👐💖🤗👋😘🌷😉👣.
I started watching this show when I was 4 or 5, and it was hilarious. And, now at 41, it's still making me laugh. I can definitely relate to some of the types of customers they had to deal with, as well as some of the management issues. I would have loved to be present at a table read for this episode. Or any episode really.
We used to watch on our PBS channel every Saturday night. I always looked forward to Saturdays. Right after they showed As Time Goes By. Love British comedies .
I think have you been served is the greatest comedy show ever all the cast of gone now I remember when this show first came out I thought it was wonderful then and I think it's wonderful now I love the British they are wonderful and great people God bless them
Even in 2020, this still a favorite old school British comedy series. Still love Mr. Humphries. In today's weird world of offending with the smallest bit of nonsense, we need this bit of humor. Sorry that they are all gone now but at least we can relive their greatness on these uploads or DVDS.
Are You Being Served was wonderful -- much better than the trash on TV these days. Rewatching the old episodes helped me get through the lockdowns in the last year.
Yes. They are not being vulgar. It's the mind of the people who find it vulgar, that's actually vulgar. Dirty minded people. I wonder how they introduced a cat to their children and grandchildren! They are very pathetic dirty minded fools. Their mother's never taught them the nursery rhyme.. Pussy 🐈, pussy 🐈, where have you been.. They definitely weren't breast fed because their mother's didn't want their breasts to droop and couldn't afford the plastic ones! Hence, the generation of dirty minded fools!🙄😒 They don't know how to enjoy pure, natural talent. Because they don't know who their father is, neither do their mother's!
I love how Captain Peacock's toy soldier just happens to wind down directly in front of Miss Brahm's Little Miss Muffett. This episode and the Punch and Judy episode were the two best of the holiday specials that they did.
I watched this series when I was stationed in England in the 80's. I still love British comedies. Knowing the culture and the language makes everything even funnier.
This show makes me want to live with them! there life looks so fun! wish i could meet someone like Miss Shirley Brahms, she is so beautiful! Right now my life sucks 2020
All of them are dead now unfortunately. Captain Peacock died of old age. Mr. Humphries from hepatitis. Mrs. Slocombe from heart failure. Miss Brahms from cancer and Mr. Lucas a heart attack. The others I'm not sure but they were hilarious.
Frank Thornton had tremendous command of his body. He was clearly an athlete, if not a trained dancer. Very precise, graceful movements. It's inspiring to watch.
I always picture one or more of this show's writers asking, "Right, so, is there an opportunity to have our main characters dress up in silly costumes in this episode?" at their writing/brainstorming sessions, after they've had a few at a local pub, of course ;-).
Well, there was only two writers, that being Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft. Maybe a few more in the beginning, but mainly them. And I can imagine most of these plots did come about after a few too many.
Takes me back to when I lived in London in the late 'sixties. There were 6 of us sharing digs, one being an English girl, Janet Andrews, who worked in Dickens & Jones in their fabrics section. I recall her making her sister's wedding gown in white velvet - made a brilliant job of it. Unfortunately we lost touch when we all moved on to other areas & countries. 😟
Never do understand what Young Mr. Grace days during his little soliloquy at the end -- but the end of this one always makes me really sad. Like I’m celebrating the birthday of an old dear friend for the last time. Don’t know why, but it does - still love this episode and love the show.
Bread and Dripping Bread and dripping, bread and dripping Makes the stuff for me. If it's given me every day, Stowing it away. I think there's worse off except for me As I eat my bread and dripping, A lump of bread as big as your head To dip in the drip drip dripping!
Grace Brother's gruel (made with monosodiom glutamate) goes best with soggy water biscuits (made with real water) and frothy tea (made generously with detergent.)
This episode - HAPPY RETURNS - and four other episodes - DO YOU TAKE THIS MAN?, STRONG STUFF THIS INSURANCE, GERMAN WEEK, and TOP HAT AND TAILS - clearly showcase the funny yet brilliant work of choreographers Sheila O'Neill, Frances Pidgeon and Irving Davies; but added to this fact is that while Nicholas Smith (Rumbold) actually plays piano in several of the show's episodes, in TOP HAT AND TAILS Frank Thornton (Peacock) not only dances well with John Inman (Humphries), but actually sits at the piano himself and plays!
I can't believe that the cast are all gone now, how very sad... Me and my daughter used to watch this when she was around 15. She loved it so much that she asked me to buy her the complete DVD set, so I did. She's 23 now and still loves it. 😊
My Dad watched during the original run and got me watching it as well. Mr Humphries always made me laugh ... even though 90 % of the jokes were lost on me at that time. 40 + years later and all three of my kids watch it as well. Cheers ✌
@@fjccommish you're a fool. Everyone knows that internationally British comedy rules. Who do you think gave American tv their shows , all the favourites... All u have to do is look it up to prove that fact. (please,no rude comments) thanks
It was filmed live, so my guess is (most) their bloopers are in the final product, but they were quite professional, so it's rather minor blooping. One thing that often happens is they briefly forget each others' characters' names. Also sometimes they laugh while giving a punchline. There might be more bloopers somewhere, but I think, seeing as the budget obviously wasn't too plentiful, that they only might've filmed when absolutely needed.
@@GeorgiNM The Takeover is a good example. Trevor Bannister breaks up when Mr. Grainger cones in as a “shareholder” wearing a toupee and Lucas asks him to identify his name.
They rehearsed for 5 days then shot on another day, mostly in one take, ignoring minor slips, with the cast usually improvising if one slipped up. lt was filmed on a low budget, so flubbed footage tape/film was usually recorded over.
Amazing to think that in the days before there was much in the way of technology, there was utter genius.... and now, in the days of fantastic technology, there's just American sitcoms and reality television.... and 'neighbours'..... ugh. Love this series... absolutely one of the best from a golden era of television.
@@StarWarsMoments i dont think he realizes how.much England suffered during WWII. Still a country who's economy is still nile and writers relied on what they had on hand and made it work.
And fairy mush mr humpries and his magic fairy dust this was made in the days before the PC police disallowed every thing ilaugh till I cry everytime I watch this episode and miss all of them ,mr humpries miss brahmans, captain peacock ,mr lucius and molly sugden as mrs slocombe rest in peace all of you
Favorite moment: when Peacock pulls the reigns & the tail uppercuts poor Lucas! It may have just been good acting, but the sound he made, & then the expression afterwards seemed VERY sincere! I did every time😆

I watch it every night
Me !
It’s 2024 and I’m still watching these shows. They’re absolutely phenomenal!!!!
Special cast. They just all have chemistry with each other. They all click.
Still watching in 2023 and still finding the show funny and well written. The cast have a chemistry that is superb and brilliant ☺️😉
still watching in 2024 💕😍
Yep still watching in 2024-25
You know this show probably didn't have a huge budget, but the costumers still did a fantastic job over the years.
As a child I was in love with Mr. Humphries. I didn’t care if he was gay, I still wanted to marry him.
The funniest part about his character for me was he wasn't gay, but the actor who played Lucas was.

Was star struck when Molly Sugden appeared locally for a PBS pledge drive . What a charming woman .

Yeah spooner is still alive I think he's like 68
I think it was Nicholas Smith I believe? Mr. Rumbold? I think he was the recent one who passed.
Indeed.
There is no Mr. Spooner in this.

Not only was Frank Thornton born to play Captain Peacock but made the perfect toy soldier as well 💂
Except for when he tried looking up Miss.Brahms little miss. muffet skirt. Naughty toy soldier. Naughty Peacock.
An unexpectedly great singing voice!

I fell in love with this cheeky little show in the 80s . PBS would run many shows
we called " Brit-Coms" ....
This show is so Funny I love all the Characters, I found this show back in the The 80’s it was funny then an it still is..
A very talented group of people. Too bad we still don't have THIS kind of talent - funny without being vulgar!
Yes...Mrs. Slocombe talking about her pussy and Mr. Lucas flashing Mr. Humphries are not in the least vulgar. Neither are the numerous dick jokes.
Yes. They are not being vulgar. It's the mind of the people who find it vulgar, that's actually vulgar. Dirty minded people. I wonder how they introduced a cat to their children and grandchildren!

As much fun watching these toys perform as when watching Kindergarten kids do their thing during a performance. Priceless!

What a great show this is. Theres such chemistry between them all. I know its been many years since it was made but it will never be old.
All of them are dead now unfortunately. Captain Peacock died of old age. Mr. Humphries from hepatitis. Mrs. Slocombe from heart failure. Miss Brahms from cancer and Mr. Lucas a heart attack. The others I'm not sure but they were hilarious.
@Badaboom 88 I'm just being real. They're all dead, Google it.
The feel good factor will live on...
The interesting thing about this show, it was always the same joke over and over again but it always worked and we always laughed.
I have seen many episodes of Are You Being Served?, but none have come as close to perfection as this one. Oh. My. Word.
Frank Thornton had tremendous command of his body. He was clearly an athlete, if not a trained dancer. Very precise, graceful movements. It's inspiring to watch.

Best Show Ever! This was The Classiest Show Of All Time!
This episode - HAPPY RETURNS - and four other episodes - DO YOU TAKE THIS MAN?, STRONG STUFF THIS INSURANCE, GERMAN WEEK, and TOP HAT AND TAILS - clearly showcase the funny yet brilliant work of choreographers Sheila O'Neill, Frances Pidgeon and Irving Davies; but added to this fact is that while Nicholas Smith (Rumbold) actually plays piano in several of the show's episodes, in TOP HAT AND TAILS Frank Thornton (Peacock) not only dances well with John Inman (Humphries), but actually sits at the piano himself and plays!
I really miss this series!
