I loved her many hair colors and styles! For being in the 70's, she ROCKED IT! I also loved how she spoke of her cat. The first time she said Pussy, I lost it!
She was truly. What I wanted most from every episode was Wendy Richard's wink, the sexiest wink ever caught on film! I'm from the states and find British comedy so outstanding!!!
I love Mrs. Slocum. She always makes me laugh and she was a very shrewd businesswoman. I just miss the whole bunch of them and I hope that they are all in heaven knowing that all these years later they’re a classic. 🙏❤️
I think one of the subtle strengths of this program was that they introduced the actors visually, and by name, at the end of the show. I was 9 when I started watching and it was the first show I watched that I could name all the actors. The very first cast I could name in its entirety. Really stuck with me.
The female customer was in another episode (No Sale) when they all had to come in early to test a theory of Mr. Rumbold. She was late for a wedding and bought 5 hats because she couldn't decide. Another great episode
Yes, you're right...and who can forget Mrs. Slocum saying over and over... "Oh that does suit Madam"....even when the lady tried on the hat box lid by mistake...LOL 🤣
I remember this series was shown on a PBS affiliate starting when I was in high school. All.these years later, it's still one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
I wish this show had never ended, the whole cast meshed very well with each other... and all funny in there own wright. Mrs. Slocum and Mr. Humphreys are my two favorites her hair colors were everything 🥰
There was a sequel series called "Are You Being Served Again," I think. Most of the crew retired to a country house-turned-bed&bkfst with new cast who were also very rustic and funny. The scripts were a bit contrived and predictable, but very well done by the cast.
The passage of time does not diminish the comedy in this show, it's still hilarious in 2020. They were a great team, the writers and the actors who put this show together.
I wish the so called comedy sitcom shows of recent years was this funny! They are less of them nowadays, and reality shows became popular, and I never understood that at all on how people could watch that crap. Almost all of them were scripted and not real, and for them being called reality shows was bullshit! They not as popular when people started to find out they were scripted, and a few more comedy shows have shown up, which I have never watched. I love watching to old very funny shows like this one. Some of yall probably hate me for saying that I found the show The Nanny was an absolute horrible show. I hated that crap, and also Friends. To me they were not funny and the writers should of learned from the writers of this one, Mrs. Bucket, Golden Girls, and all in the family, oh almost forgot to mention Good times. Wish that kind of funny shows would come back again! 🎥😔
@@drewski1535 , agreed. I find myself more and more going back to shows from the past. To be all the way honest, shows before 2016. As an American I find the British humor charming and hilarious. Both things that are lacking in much of our US media.
Mr B...enjoyment comes from being truly funny! These are the basic rules of comedy - making of anybody so no one feels they are the target! The problem with today's and even in the late 80-90s comedy in the US (especially) is that people started being offended by anything so comedy was so diluted that no one watched shows anymore.
Mr. Rumbold: Who is this? (listening) What do you mean, you can't guess?! I'm not asking you to guess who I am. What's your name? (listening) I see. You won't tell me until I tell you. LMFAO
The Role of Mr. Granger is played perfectly. He fits the stereo type of what you would expect a elderly man his age to act like. Every actor in this series is absolutely Brilliant at their acting abilities. My favorite is Mr. Humphreys his personality out shines the others.
R.I.P. to an extremely talented cast. LOVE this show! Thank you for the memories! You all will live on for everyone to share the laughter and happiness you have brought to the world. 😢❤👍
Honestly the back and forth with the phone call from Rumbold wanting to see Captain Peacock is pure comedy. Always reminds me of the "Who's on first" skit from Abbott and Costello.
I watched so many sitcoms when i lived in the UK, from 70 to 95. I was never disappointed. Now I am watching them again in 2020. American Programming is absolute garbage with useless ads. Are you being served was one of my favorites... Thanks youtube and UK.
Richard I'm from America and I do agree with you. The shows that are on TV now is pure garbage and not funny at all. I do miss the shows from the 1970's here in the USA. Better quality back then. Now just junk
Richard...I live in the US, and the reason for the ads is that we pay very little for the entertainment/channels...and TH-cam has so many ads, that it's like the old TV stations. I agree about ads, but these companies are paying fo rthe bulk of entertainment we enjoy!
If I have insomnia, I often watch these reruns to ease my mind so I can drift off and dream. I LOL! Beautifully said All. Agreed. Imagine the BBC powers that be at the time, originally told writers NO to casting John Inman. Writer's dug their heals in the ground, insisting BBC see it their way and they Won. Impossible isn't it to think of this Sitcom without John Inman as Mr. Humphreys. May they all RIP And Thank You.
Same here, one of my go to sleep shows! George&Mildred,Keeping Up Appearences, To The Manor Born, Mind Your Language, Bless Me Father .... They are all very relaxing,sedating, just make me to go to sleep with a big smile 😊❤
Hilarious! classic! Mr. Gainger has never really been known as a rebel. When news he had to give up his limited counter space, "I REFUUUUSED!!! HE HE HE! LMFAO!!!!!
I’m 53 now and live in the states.I was in high school in the mid to late 80’s when I started watching AYBS. I also watched Dr. Who (of course) The Goode Life and a spin-off of Three’s company (British version). Now my daughter watches these shows. When we were moving about 10 years ago, we stopped for the night. When we settled in for the night we were clicking the channels. We found Last of the summer wine. It’s incredibly funny as all of these shows are. We also found Keeping up appearances. I love the scenery of these wonderful funny tv shows.
HA HA HA ! The beginning of the episode in Mr Rumbold's office was like an Abbot & Costello routine !! And later in the canteen, it looks like they're eating "bangers and mash".... :-)

I totally agree with Spell bound. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW. I USED to WATCH this WITH MY MOM AND MY BOYFRIEND USED to WATCH THIS AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING WATCHIN THESE
"...no, the one who looks like Steptoe..." I had no idea, after watching this show several times over 20 years, what the laugh was, until I saw Steptoe and Son on TH-cam (in America it is Sanford and Son), now it makes more sense.
Yeah Howard,, Sanford and son was an Americanised copy of of Steptoe. Hate to say it but the translation was lost on me… but then I hate to admit it, but I find American comedy dull… the same with “the office” yet another copy of a British show.. .. But at least they were popular with American audiences… so many British shows failed… and American versions of them. Comedy shows like “RED Dwarf” and another Sci Fi show - Dr Who. Dr Who has been going for nearly 60 years.. it was first broadcast in 1963… on the very day JFK was assassinated. Until it’s restart in 2003/5 America just did not want to know about it.
Watched this with my mom on PBS in the 90s. Happy memories, & the show is as enjoyable now as it was then. One of the many things I like about it is the blunt criticism or mockery traded among the characters, things that are likely to be very embarrassing, even devastating to a person. The one criticized invariably responds as you would imagine anyone would - and then they all go on: "Yes. Well, as I was saying, young Mr. Grace will be down here in five minutes, so I want you all to..." Makes me realize that such traumatic social situations are what we make them. Love all the characters, and enjoy reading the comments of others who love this show. Thanks for posting it!
that lady with the husband was in another episode where she needed a hat for a wedding lol i love how they always use the same actors for the show in different episodes

They’re like quarrelling brothers and sisters. Have each other’s back and annoy each other when possible.
Perfectly said 😊
I have to pause the video to take breaks in order to laugh!
Wow that phone skit at the begining, had me in stiches, i was laughing my head off.They certainly dont make shows like this anymore.

Never seen Wendy Richard so pretty as she was in this episode. That smile when she waved back to Captain Peacock was infectious.
"Take it off, this is my own HAIR!"
"He's white but he doesn't know his size!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I find that how someone can have a fake conversation on the phone shows their true acting talent.

"I refuse!" I love how silly he looked when saying that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best British comedy of all time... just brilliant.
Best British cast of all time. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Slocombe and Lucus dont hit it off well I notice or are they just kidding eachother hahahahaha Mr Lucus is gutsy
@@drewski1535 -- I agree, Lucas is gutsy. Haha
Mr Lucas you are not indispensable there are many young men who would bend over backwards to get into Grace Brothers.
Thats one of the qualifications
She was unanimous in that!
Here in America, we would have said "PIEHOLE"....but in any language, it's hilarious !! :-)
Mr. Granger his ‘i refuse’ is symple but spectacular
it's hilarious!!
Tour...he looks just like a little boy!
And how he was still pouting after his refusal. Just like a stubborn kid would be.
I feel so happy and warm when I watch this show, I must have seen each episode 50 times and still smile , God rest them all...
I have also seen each episode many times and never get tired of watching them. Sadly, the whole cast have passed away. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

😂😂😂
That telephone bit was classic
Moira foot is simply adorable in this episode
I wish she was made a permanent member of the cast
"Mrs. Slocombe, I demand you take down your underwear immediately" Mr. Granger was the funniest in this episode
Corrie Kempiiha I know. He was my favorite. Show not the same after he passed.
I loved all the times they could come up with a double entendre on this show.
Corrie Kempiiha
Me Grainger: “What is this I here’ya?”
He’s is too much. 😎
Corrie Kempiiha I rather sound like him.. as he himself sounded like Sir Winston Churchill. I take pride in this!
The way he said it has me on the floor.
OH DAMN!! 🤣
Gets me every time. Mr Granger is funny. All of them are, really.

@@johanbruijnooge6818Sorry, ik spreek nederlands, engels, latijn, yugoslawisch, frans, duits, en ook nog en paar kleine dialecten. Bedankt voor uw feedback, ik zal het woordje bickering nu nooit meer vergeten. Each one teach one!
Regina The Creator is the Lord: the Holy One of Israel, the TriUne GodHead: the Father, the Risen Word.. Spotless Lamb.. and Only Begotten Son of the Father, Jesus Christ our Lord.. and man’s Only Saviour from Sin Death Hell and the Grave.. the Only Redeemer Advocate and Mediator between the Father and man, and the Holy Spirit: and These Three are One! There is none other, and Salvation belongs to the Lord, and He is God!
Beautiful thought .
Used to watch this on PBS with my Late Father 💕🤣🤣
I swear to god one of the Best, if not the Best, ensemble casts ever. And genius writing, i would love to have been in their meetings.
Spot on. You can see the difference when Mr Lucas left and Mr Grainger passed. It was still great but somehow lost that magic
You all did very well!!!
Jason Boles (in unison) thank you Mr Grace
Even after all these years the show is still enjoyable and funny love all the characters 🤣❤🤣❤🤣❤🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr Humphrey n Mr lucus is just fantastic 😍
I totally agree with Spell bound. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW. I USED to WATCH this WITH MY MOM AND MY BOYFRIEND USED to WATCH THIS AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING WATCHIN THESE
"...no, the one who looks like Steptoe..."
I had no idea, after watching this show several times over 20 years, what the laugh was, until I saw Steptoe and Son on TH-cam (in America it is Sanford and Son), now it makes more sense.
Yeah Howard,, Sanford and son was an Americanised copy of of Steptoe. Hate to say it but the translation was lost on me… but then I hate to admit it, but I find American comedy dull… the same with “the office” yet another copy of a British show.. .. But at least they were popular with American audiences… so many British shows failed… and American versions of them. Comedy shows like “RED Dwarf” and another Sci Fi show - Dr Who.
Dr Who has been going for nearly 60 years.. it was first broadcast in 1963… on the very day JFK was assassinated. Until it’s restart in 2003/5 America just did not want to know about it.
I have been watching these for decades.. first on PBS in the USA and on Britbox now here on TH-cam. I too know them well
My good friends from England used to watch this show twice a day on their little tv set in their Nob Hill Apartment .
Sounds like San Francisco.
Twice a day !! We should all have been so fortunate !
😂😂😂 Hilarious all the way through, Classic comedy at it's best! 😂😂😂
Watched this with my mom on PBS in the 90s. Happy memories, & the show is as enjoyable now as it was then. One of the many things I like about it is the blunt criticism or mockery traded among the characters, things that are likely to be very embarrassing, even devastating to a person. The one criticized invariably responds as you would imagine anyone would - and then they all go on: "Yes. Well, as I was saying, young Mr. Grace will be down here in five minutes, so I want you all to..." Makes me realize that such traumatic social situations are what we make them. Love all the characters, and enjoy reading the comments of others who love this show. Thanks for posting it!
kokolanza yes, and these days snowflakes melt with the heat and demand “safe spaces.” Lol what a generation!
@@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786 true at that. We've seen a thing or two.. or three.. or more, and here we are!
that lady with the husband was in another episode where she needed a hat for a wedding lol i love how they always use the same actors for the show in different episodes
"Oh, it does suit madame!"

A family must see, when it originally broadcast - along with many other British Comedy's.
