Things that amuse me.

That's some FUNNY stuff. I had to look that up; I had never heard of the series (or the film version!) before. I 'll have to put that on my list of "Things To Watch" which is pretty long already......I HAD to have the first three seasons of "Kids In The Hall" and I haven't even taken the wrappers off yet......

I'm lucky - us brits had many many series of this on TV before the film. It became kind of TV folklore to us over here.

Strangely, the pretty "Miss Brahms" ended up playing a miserable old crow in one of our big soap opera tv series. Sadly she died recently and is sorely missed.

By strange coincidence, the same miserable soap opera also has Barbara Windsor acting - her of "Carry On" film fame - not sure if that has ever made it's way across the pond. Think AYBS, but ruder.

I have to say I Love AYBS. Have fr years, Far before I understood most of the innuendo's in it lol.

I was SOOOO sad to hear about Ms. Brahms

Peacock is now in Last of the Summer Wine, the 'retiremen home' for some old sitcom actors.

Humphries, sadly, is no longer with us...

i would love the theme music from "are you being served" to be piped into the lifts, in my office building on April fools day, but alas Property management would probably not agree.

I was always amused by the way capt Peacock always looked around him whenever anyone asked if he was free. He was pretty much always free. They really ran out of steam when they went to manage that hotel in later years though.

PBS has had lots of "Britcoms" on the air for many years. Are You Being Served is one of my favorites. Just love the characters and their use of language. And the mannerisms and inside jokes are great. John Inman was in the local studio at least twice for pledge drives.The shows have been repeated so many times I almost know the episodes by heart! Just last evening was an episode with "rules" for hats. Bowler for Jugears , homburg for Peacock, trilby for Humphries and Lucas.

^ truly, Pbs showing the britwits are the only thing that makes me wish I had television.
