    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.

    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!

    • @GeorgiNM
      @GeorgiNM Před 3 lety +5

      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.

      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.
