Lallies and Willets...gay slang in the 70s for "legs and breasts". Which is why the audience laughed...the reason they laughed harder was because Capt. Peacock said they were a Bristol firm.. And in Cockney rhyming slang, "Bristol City=titties=breasts". So of course, when Mrs. Slocum says... "Never mind where they hang out"...it's a CLASSIC double entendre which the audience would have gotten, ergo the uproarious laughter. Hang out as in their neighbourhood, and hang out as in breasts literally being shown. Layers upon layers of GREAT WRITING.
Mr Lucas also appeared in The Last of Summer Wine. He played golf but was interrupted by Barry and the gang. Sadly Cleggy was the only surviving trio in the episode..
Trevor Bannister worked with Brian wilde in wyatt's watchdogs in between Brian Wilde's two blocks of regular appearances on last of the summer wine. I think maybe Trevor Bannister might have been responsible for persuading Roy Clarke to cast frank thornton as truelove in last of the summer wine.
Bristols LOL slang for Breasts. Peacock: Lallies and Willets, that's a Bristol firm isn't it? Slocombe: Never mind where they hang out, what's in it for us. (Absolute brilliance) It was post WW2 and no holds barred, the world needed some humour, and the Brits made sure we got some, and then they refined it into an Art. There are just too many groups, individuals, teams, TV shows and Movies to name here. Whether its from England, Wales, Scotland, or Ireland, the play on words in all early UK comedies is mind boggling.
watched this when it first came out in the 70s. Still watching a show every night here on utube before bedtime some 40+ years later. They just don't make good comedy like this anymore. Now days, they are too afraid of the PC snowflakes. Thanks for the laughter, and may you all rest in peace. I know the angels are laughing!
It’s one of those things that is consistently mentioned in Are You Being Served? that Mr Grainger can perform as Winston Churchill. As far back as Series 1!
Mr. Rumbold: "Can you play a one-legged Nigerian tap dancer?" Mr. Humphries: "Not with any degree of sincerity." It makes me laugh out loud every time, even after all these years.
So does that line that Captain Peacock says in reply to Mr. Rumbold's comment about the length of his trousers: "If I lower them to the correct length sir it might lead to complaints of a much more serious nature."

What a wonderful surprise, I've haven't seen this episode before. This is my favorite cast and I am unanimous in that😂 R.I.P. to you and thanks for the laughs from a young man from the Bronx New York USA.
@@msbrowngault Lol . Not sure how I missed this one, I don't think PBS aired this episode if so I must've tuned in elsewhere. I have my sister to thank for introducing me to AYBS😂
I think it is great that a younger person appreciates AYBS. When I was in college some 27 years ago, I was lonely snd homesick. The bright spot in my day was knowing that at the end of the day (M-Th), at 10 p.m., I would have 30 minutes of a wonderful British comedy to cheer me up.
So many laughs in this episode. Mr. Lucas just didn't know what to do with the name Weeble-Abel-Smith, and then Mr. Grainger walked in with that wig. 😄 And just the name "Lally & Willets" is pretty funny all by itself!
@@g00gleminus96 Unfortunately for us, (I found out how this industry is conning us, in a way) the executives (former TV industry) have tapped into other venues by diversifying into the internet and other markets. This is a business that thrives.
The one talking about burning the store, collecting the insurance and starting somewhere else; wants to call the man suggesting the impersonation " a criminal mind" I wanted to scream 😁😂😂
Mr. Harmon was the MVP of this episode...he came up with the plan in the first place, and it was his speech that convinced the other shareholders to turn down the offer. Oh, and he also got them all a great dinner out!
@@A2D4I watched this show and only knew about Mr. Harmon. I found out later that Mash appeared up until season 4.But like yourself I loved Mr. Harmon because he meshed well with all the workers, even scheming with them. He can also balance a plank on his head and turn without it falling off!
I've been a fan for a long time... and I never get tired of it. It's not just the amazing cast or the characters they portray... it's everything. From lecherous old man Mr. Grace and his signature... 'You've all done very well!' [while falling down] To the fabulous Mr Humphries with his campy style and effervescent ... 'I am free!' Add to that... an insane prop department. From bizarre mannequins, to out of control souffles... it's one laugh after another. Love this show.
GodBless America They’re great, but I’d have to say Me Grainger is my hands down favorite. I think it’s because he reminds me a bit of my grandfather ♥️
Mr. Lucas to Capt. Peacock (snapping his fingers): "Boy! Jump to it!" Mr. Harmon kept it all together. I remember watching this episode when I was a kid. Still sets me laughing like crazy.
One of my favorite episodes! When Mr. Harmon tells Mr. Rumbold about Mr. Grace doodling on his blotter and how "the blindfold sorta stuck out", it gets me every time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a treasure this show was and still is.This is comedy as an well oiled machine, each compliments the other for the good of the end results! A very funny show that will live forever in our hearts! Outstanding humor that teases the funny bone. Sometimes you just feel the mood to binge watch. Allow the mood take you there. I do. Love you all!
Young Mr. Grace cracks me up...when Jug ears said he had something top secret to say Mr. Grace said he would leave the room. Its little unexpected lines like that that are so funny ....their timing and dead pan delivery of those jokes are perfecto!
And Mr. Grainger was hilarious. Oh ahh ha ha lol. Mrs. Slocombe looks wonderful all dressed up! I am not familiar with Eaton but do they all talk like that lol? I'm guessing it's a very upscale good old boy kind of place, lol. I would have been working class back then so I thought they did a great job acting as if they were wealthy. Love this one.
Are You Being Served takes me back to childhood and a wonderful age of harmless fun and innocent mirth when the world wasn't totally screwed up by political correctness.
The dustbin men was Trevor Bannisters' (Mr. Lucas) first big comedy series I think. What a comedy gem he was. 💎 died at 76 of a heart attack. God bless for the joy you brought us Trevor. ☺
I think a lot of us did. I had a relative who looked so much like him and often had that same expression his face. Anytime I'm watching a show and my mom happens to be nearby, she will always refer to Mr. Grainger by that relative's name.
yes that part where mrs slocombe remarked about hurting herself if she had to bend like that for too long. then mr humphries said'you get used to it '' was that what i think he meant? too risque I thought. But then its up to us to interpret, isnt it. I do feel sorry for the things John Inman was made to do and say. i ALSO think he is the most popular in this programme.
@@jessiejames7492 He had a wonderful career and is remembered most fondly. Why would you feel sorry for him? I don't think he had any problem with the character. :)
@@aveuch true but Humphrey's is not to the point of openly gay, where as jack tripper was pretending to be for the sake of the landlord. Humphrey's is proud of his sexuality, whatever it is.
@@davidcompton1273 his walk was taken from someone else [he did not walk that way in real life]. when he heard his character was of certain undisclosed talent he adapted himself into the role to cement it more. thats what a professional does.
Totally enjoyable show, makes me LOL all the time - to my husband's curiosity. You see, I've been binge-watching this online using a headset at night. So he had no idea for my sudden outbursts. Which makes it even funnier!

And Mr. Grainger was hilarious. Oh ahh ha ha lol. Mrs. Slocombe looks wonderful all dressed up! I am not familiar with Eaton but do they all talk like that lol? I'm guessing it's a very upscale good old boy kind of place, lol. I would have been working class back then so I thought they did a great job acting as if they were wealthy. Love this one.
Tami Hayes really? How can u tell.
Sandra Jovic one in every crowd.. smh
Arthur English was in a class of his own.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes
Are You Being Served takes me back to childhood and a wonderful age of harmless fun and innocent mirth when the world wasn't totally screwed up by political correctness.
quite
The world is ok today. You can still laugh.
$5,000/year offer and they were excited. How times have changed.
I work in 1966 for 15 pond a week.
In a bakkery.
£ 5,000 was a l😮t of money in 1976, plus benefits etc, it had buying power.
The dustbin men was Trevor Bannisters' (Mr. Lucas) first big comedy series I think. What a comedy gem he was. 💎 died at 76 of a heart attack. God bless for the joy you brought us Trevor. ☺
I lovedm all but I had a soft spot for Mr. Granger
I think a lot of us did. I had a relative who looked so much like him and often had that same expression his face. Anytime I'm watching a show and my mom happens to be nearby, she will always refer to Mr. Grainger by that relative's name.
He is just too good...brilliant is the word for Mr Grainger👍
I wonder if he's putting on an act or he's really almost senile in real life here.. heh
Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft are such great comedy show writers 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱
Those one liners were way ahead of their time...quite cheeky ...and the gay issue too was also being tackled...that was quite something...
yes that part where mrs slocombe remarked about hurting herself if she had to bend like that for too long. then mr humphries said'you get used to it '' was that what i think he meant? too risque I thought. But then its up to us to interpret, isnt it. I do feel sorry for the things John Inman was made to do and say. i ALSO think he is the most popular in this programme.
It's only a couple years older than Three's Company.
@@jessiejames7492 He had a wonderful career and is remembered most fondly. Why would you feel sorry for him? I don't think he had any problem with the character. :)
@@aveuch true but Humphrey's is not to the point of openly gay, where as jack tripper was pretending to be for the sake of the landlord.
Humphrey's is proud of his sexuality, whatever it is.
@@davidcompton1273 his walk was taken from someone else [he did not walk that way in real life]. when he heard his character was of certain undisclosed talent he adapted himself into the role to cement it more. thats what a professional does.
Totally enjoyable show, makes me LOL all the time - to my husband's curiosity.
You see, I've been binge-watching this online using a headset at night. So he had no idea for my sudden outbursts.
Which makes it even funnier!
At 13:35 Mr Humphreys shaking his leg....😂😂😂😂😂I think the rest of the cast are quite amused hahaha
