I love this show!, May 11, 2000
Are you being served? is one of the great British sitcoms ever! In this tape, Mr. Grace celebrates his birthday with an awful lunch and then the store sets up the Ballet of the Toys. It's hilarious, John Inman at his very best!

The laughs continue..., February 20, 2001
This review is from: Are You Being Served 6 [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 pussy (cat). So, this tape can be watched with younger ones, but some discretion should be exercised.
Tape 6 includes the following three half-hour episodes:
Happy Returns - Series VI, episode 6, 1978 - It's Mr. Grace's 81st birthday, and the staff decides to put on a ballet to celebrate. (This episode includes a great song and dance number.)
Founder's Day - Series V, episode 3, 1977 - To celebrate Mr. Grace's 80th birthday, the staff decides to create their own episode of "This Is Your Life," complete with hilarious "forged" pictures.
The Old Order Changes - Series V, episode 4, 1977 - Mr. Grace returns from the United States with new ideas. Not surprisingly, the staff's execution of those ideas produces a hilarious fiasco. (This episode includes Captain Peacock in a robe and wig, saying, "peace"!)
