Are You Being Served Series 1 DVD Report


Print: Pretty good, but needs remastering - Sound: Good - Label: BBC - Cover: Good - Format: 4:3 - Length: 28m a show - Before: Yes on TV - Again: Yes - Price: £1 - Rating: 6.5/10.

Are You Being Served was a hugely popular seventies BBC sitcom, set in the old-fashioned Grace Brothers department store, owned by the very old Young Mr Grace. The staff rarely sold anything, but some things where certain - Mr Humphries was free, Mrs Slocombe was worried about her pussy and Young Mr Grace would always declare You've all done very well! Alongside Captain Peacock, Mr Grainger, Mr Rumbold, Mr Lucas and Miss Brahms, they filled the store with bickering, foolish sales ideas and any excuse for hilarious costumes, helping create one of the sauciest, campest and funniest sitcoms of the decade!

This is the complete first series, Are You Being Served? (Pilot Episode), Dear Sexy Knickers, Our Figures Are Slipping, Camping In, His And Hers and Diamonds Are A Mans Best Friend!

I really enjoyed Are You Being Served in the 1970s and still do! Its dated, camp, unrealistic, silly, even childish, and I laughed long and loud! Recommended!
