Rating:  - Why, Yes, I am Being Served
At at time when the only source of Brit-coms was the local PBS, this show was a staple. In fact, I think it's probably still being broadcast at times. While not quite the golden age of the show, these three episodes have all the things that made it seems terribly superior to many of the lower tier US comedies.
For instance there is sexual inuendo. Not terribly sophicated but Mrs. Slocombe's pussy makes many a double entendre. While not Out and Proud, John Inman's campy Mr. Humphries ... Read More
Rating: - Good British humor
"Are You Being Served?" is a British situation-comedy, focusing on the staff at an upscale department store, in the clothing department. The humor is quite different from the humor of American comedies, but is plentiful. This tape has three episodes.

Episode 2: Oh What A Tangled Web ... Read More

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 5 includes the following ... Read More
Rating: - Big Laughs Going on Sale!
Come into the store and get to know all the members of the "ladies and gents" departments by name. Mrs. Slocombe is having a birthday and wants to make sure everyone knows, but not to guess her age. Must see birthday bash! Management has it's problems too as Captain Peacock and Mr. Rumbold's secretary have everyone talking and the staff convenes a trial to find the answers!You will in enjoy the transfermation of mild-mannered Mr. Gainger when he is given temporary charge of the department.I have enjoyed ...
