5.0 out of 5 stars More great Britcom!, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Are You Being Served 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Are You Being Served? is the story of the staff of the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Wear departments in Grace Brother's department store. While customer's come and go, the staff fights each other and their incompetent superiors with laughs all around. The stories are hilarious and are generally clean, though a running gag involves one lady's constant frettings about her pussycat. So, this tape can be watched with younger ones, but some discretion should be exercised.

Tape 2 includes the following three half-hour episodes:

Big Brother - Series II, episode 4, 1974 - To stop shoplifting, Grace Bros. installs security cameras. When the cameras begin to show the staff's foibles, they decide that it is time to correct the situation.

His and Hers - Series I, episode 5, 1973 - When Grace Bros. brings in a scent salesperson, complete with complementary ties and stockings, the staff decide that she must go.

Cold Comfort - Series II, episode 2, 1974 - To conserve fuel, in the dead of winter, Grace Bros. turns off the heat. Now, it's up to the staff to invent ways to stay warm.

I highly recommend watching the entire series on PBS and buying several videos since they get better with repeat viewings. There is something infectious about this camp show and its colorful characters. END

If you're a newcomer to "Are You Being Served," this is an excellent start. If you're already a fan, you should recognize these titles immediately. It has three of the early episodes including one of my favorites, "Big Brother." I bet I've seen some of the AYBS episodes 100 times or more and never tire of them. This is downright silly comedy that never outdates itself. Highly recommended.
