When I tell people that my absolute favorite show of all time is a show from the 70's where it's about people that work on one floor of a department store, they look at me like I'm nuts. Their loss! If I had to choose just one show to watch forever, this would be it.. and I am unanimous in that!
I consider myself very lucky that i was able to work in a grocery that at the time was the oldest company in my state. It had been established on the day of statehood and locsted several places before the final location where it finally closed. A generational business. I worked for the 3 rd (4th in total) family owner. It was a wood paneled carpeted affair. Not large. Coats of arms adorning the walls. A fireplace and fainting couch in the bread isle. I filled out my application on the couch. It was family owned and the employees had mostlly been there 10 plus years. It was short of open malice or cause, nearly impossible to get fired from there. But it was just like AYBS. The store manager was a card, there was an effeminate guy who worked in the meat department with me, his partner worked in produce. An indian guy who managed dairy, the owner didnt care as long as business went on. His mother in law worked there and was like mrs slocombe. The checkstand girls, a plucky bunch. You never went hungry, you could buy on credit against your next check any time. You got paid weekly, a stub was given put you were paid in cash. It was like working in the grace brothers store. There was even a local person of some import that was older than dirt that came in every Christmas propped up by two assistants who handed out cash to the employees. The manager would often remind us that this wasnt the real world and no other job would ever be like this again. He was right. I worked with him for two years and we had the same days off. Everyone had one day off in common because the store was closed like chick fila on sundays and one other day off. I got OT every day because someone quit and anyway, the whole two years I worked with him, he never failed to make a silence of the lambs reference even if it made no sense in context. I MISS that place.
They aren't all dead. The last surviving principal actor is Mike Berry, who joined the cast beginning in 1981 for series 8 as "Mr Spooner" after Trevor Bannister left the series.

@@marinazagrai1623 yeah people don’t realize the super rich and famous have it better in terms of health and lower stress related to finances etc. makes a difference to your life span.
Oh Mr.Lucas....as a junior, you're not allowed to have the tape measure around the neck, thats just for the senior...😅 You see, I've followed the rules of the hierarchy of the Grace Bros. 😅😅😅
I love this show. My favorite characters are Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas. Both John Inman and Trevor Bannister worked really well together in this series.
@@curtisthomas2670 I know. I just like how the cast always went on with the show whenever this happened. This particular flub has always appeared the most obvious to me.
If ANYONE other than 1970’s British actors were shooting a scene with Mollie Sugden hoisted into the air over someone’s shoulders, whoop-whooping like that, they’d *still* all be on the floor laughing to this day. Everyone’s self control is amazing in the shot and I’m glad because it allows me as a millennial, to laugh my ass off at it as if it was shot yesterday. We could learn a thing or two about the subtle nuances of comedy from this scene.
@@carminemurphy4836 I can understand why in your words Molly Sugden's family had reservation about that type of comedy: I do not see why people find it humorous.
It's very sad about the accusations that were made against him after his death in 2007 due to Hepatitis A, he was 71. He was the best amongst them for me.
@@Gravydog316 Yeah, that's amazing because PBS didn't start airing reruns of Are You Being Served? until the mid-1980s! Most Americans (who became fans) were not aware of the show until the 1990s. That's when it hits its peak in the US.
I love this world of silliness that they live in! Anyone else notice that the wife who's being given away to pay for the pants is the same wife he's buying the pants for? 😆😅🤣😂 One of the best-written and funniest episodes of the early years of the series. And no one can accuse Mr. Lucas of gay-bashing; his remarks to Mr. Humphries are just as snarky as his remarks to the rest of the staff.
This show always had the best mannequins! "I Like It, I Like It, I Like It", The stretching girdle legs & the light up feet! Also the hand with the scratchy pad!
No one connected with ARE YOU BEING SERVED? thought that the show would run for over ten years; and yet it did, and would continue to live on in syndication both in the UK and in the US. Even in TH-cam and Hulu reruns this particular Britcom has a seemingly amazing draw with audiences everywhere, considering that humor originated some forty-seven years ago can still generate fresh laughter in today's society...
It's called comfort comedy. You can cozy up with a blanket and watch these shows sipping on a hot coffee every single night before bed. When I watch these shows I have to eat LOL. Never will there be shows like this again.
Yes indeed. Never will there be shows like this again. It if comforting to watch this. Ever single night I watch it and never grow tired of the laughs, the talent and the social commentary on life. Love it.
You said it best ! I've been watching this show since I was 5 years old with my grandmother and I'm 30 now . memories of the best time of my life . so comforting and nostalgic
From the Pit of Hell and shall return to the Pit of Hell. That’s where these pagan foreigners are from. Completely hostile to the West as we’ve seen in these days in Europe. Your Second Amendment Right is what’s keeping them at bay in America. Never be foolish and give it up! Look at England now!

GodBless America No, I believe Mr. Lucas and Capt. Peacock are still around. John Inman, Mr. Humphries, passed away in 2007, and it was a tremendous loss. Inman, and his character, helped me through a truly tumultuous time, and I'll always be grateful to him for that, I wish I'd been able to meet him.
Some may have underestimated Mr. Lucas' manliness, but with his good looks, youthful bod, and now his ability to man- handle Mrs. Slocombe, that makes him the hunk of the group!
@@moonstar4121 I don't give a damn! Frankly, I'd rather be old and wise than young and dumb. Or in other words I don't care! Keep in mind I'm just 32 and wasn't alive when this aired but the wit and humour these writers had was spectacular!
Trevor is by no mean a small man. He was 5'11 and looked like he was fairly strong. He has carried John Inman in "The Hero" over his shoulder while running. That takes a fair amount of physical strength.
Best British comedy series ever made. This gem will live on forever. Great cast assembly they compliment each other so well. Absolutely Commedy gold.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such memories I was 17 and Wendy Richards was 14 years older than me had a real infatuation for her and now I am older than John Thornton when he appeared in this.
One of my favourite episodes. Just hilarious! 😂 I can understand that some of it could be offensive by today's standard but I think it's brilliant. I loved this series and cast was just amazing ❤
@annemariezammit1750 "Today's standards" has nothing to do with it. It was just as offensive then as it is now. Except of course to bigots. Bigots then and bigots now.
AYBS is surely one of the greatest shows ever made. It has always been and always will be, one of my favorite shows. Always worth a laugh and wonderful for falling asleep to. AYBS? and Red Dwarf is another great show to fall back, do some dabs, and just float into sleep watching. Thank you.
I always liked Mr. Lucas. When Captain Peacock told Mrs. Slocombe to let herself go and he said, from the look of it, she already has. I almost died laughing! Such a great show and cast.

As a young lad growing up in the 1980's, I was only permitted to watch PBS. Needless to say, I grew very fond of Dr Who and the lovely Miss Brown! The two shows were back to back. Great memories❤
@@janeck.8695 I remember watching this as a child when aired on Indian TV in the early 80s and understood the meanings much later.....Superb talent there....
This is my favoirite cast lineup on AYBS. I never cared for Mr. Mash, any of Mr. Grangers replacements, Mr. Lucas' replacement, or, Mr. Grace's replacement.
@@carminemurphy4836 "Old Mr. Grace", who was 30 years younger and a less talented/funny actor than Harold Bennett, who played young Mr. Grace. He was introduced after Harold Bennett died in 1981. The character didn't last long.

They had a great rapport. When Trevor Bannister left, it was not the same.

I couldn't believe my eyes, Mr. Lucas was able to actually lift Mrs Slocombe up! Even trotted around a bit with her. lol
Why? She's pretty petite.
plus chair
I don't know how big she is or is not. But with twenty four years Volunteer Fire Rescue, it's mostly technique.
Trevor is by no mean a small man. He was 5'11 and looked like he was fairly strong. He has carried John Inman in "The Hero" over his shoulder while running. That takes a fair amount of physical strength.

No doubt about it, Mrs Sloconbe-Mollie Sugden is one hell of a sport. There were a few seconds there where I was sure se was going to fall.
If I can't sleep after a hard day's work, I always look at these wonderful series...Best series ever❤❤❤
Mr. Lucas always the wise ass,
"No wonder she's banned from all the tea rooms!"
22:42 - Mr. Harman messes up his line but fixes it in a flash. Brilliant!

As a young lad growing up in the 1980's, I was only permitted to watch PBS. Needless to say, I grew very fond of Dr Who and the lovely Miss Brown! The two shows were back to back. Great memories❤
What is it about this show that keeps bringing us back nearly 50 years after its original run?
simple comedy & a silly cast
It's from times when TV was good, these actors were talented, and the chemistry among them was superb.
@@janeck.8695 I remember watching this as a child when aired on Indian TV in the early 80s and understood the meanings much later.....Superb talent there....
Two words. Excellent cast.
Writers and cast just superbly done.
Like this episode. RIP all Actors.
Philip Tonee I agree...
In every episode there are bloopers. If you look at 7.30 you can see a tv screen behind the curtain.
If was Mrs. Slocum I would have slapped Mr. Lucas' face at least half a dozen times!
This is my favoirite cast lineup on AYBS.
I never cared for Mr. Mash, any of Mr. Grangers replacements, Mr. Lucas' replacement, or, Mr. Grace's replacement.
Agreed that this is the best cast of the show. Mr Harmon was the only positive replacement.
I agree! My favorite shows are all the Mr. Grainger episodes.
Who replaced
Young Mr. Grace ?
When did they replace Young Mr. Grace ?
🤔🍾🥂
@@carminemurphy4836 "Old Mr. Grace", who was 30 years younger and a less talented/funny actor than Harold Bennett, who played young Mr. Grace.
He was introduced after Harold Bennett died in 1981. The character didn't last long.
i have loved this show since i was a kid!
I love everyone’s in the British comedies.
Their face expressions are golden 👌😂
Hi beautiful
