Are You Being Served: Top Hats and Tails 4.2

[zibikit]

"Mr. Grainger, do you know your vital statistics?"

"I've had no interest in them since I lost sight of my toes."

HAHA!

[sillybabybunnies]

why don't amerikan department stores have their own scientists?

[NOSYPOWER]

The dancing scene at 14:00 is hilarious!!

[MrsNorris55]

I used to watch this a lot but was wondering ... do we ever see *Old" Mr. Grace in any episode?

[zibikit]

@MrsNorris55 Nope, we don't. He doesn't get about much, you know. ;)

[Bombers299]

slow, slow, quick, quick, slow!

[baishengren]

Brilliant episode! Very funny. Thank you for uploading. That piece that Captain Peacock played sounded like Thelonious Monk! :D

[StoliDassah]

@dwarflover63 i don't think so, i didn't watch that season...and it was definitely an audition, but not sure what dance show it was.

[MuahahahaFActory]

11:27 - 11:36 is just priceless. HM?

[karmixup]

the way you play the piano, i'm not surprised that you work in a store...

[bilgeratjim]

"Shall I lead?"

[SuperMarinaB]

@stenoch: The song is "These Foolish Things"

[only257]

hiliarous

[MarkSentMe]

I love when they put Captain Peacock in bad-fitting clothes!!

[bossyboots55]

Everyone of them is a true professional. In this day and age of stupid and vulgar comedies these older beauties are certainly gems. we dont have comedies like these any more. these days evry tv show must have vulgarity, nakedness, sex and gay references. what the heck!

[mandersO4]

@bossyboots55 ... you do realize that almost every third joke is about sex, and mr. humphries is clearly gay.

[bossyboots55]

@mandersO4

yes but they dont throw it in your face..its done in a nice subtle fashion...., doubtle entendres, inuendos,,,,what have you. Its so muchmore fun ! And i dont think that every other joke is about sex. Isnt mR HUMPRIES such a joy ? :)

[MarkSentMe]

@mandersO4  Shhhh...nobody's supposed to know! ;)

[KTBEverlasting]

"Now we''ve been looking through Mr. Humphries' records."

"I was innocent of the charges. The police(I don't know, can't hear the rest of it)"

I can rewind it back many times, still funny.

[MarkSentMe]

@KTBEverlasting "...it was a case of mistaken identity!"

[KTBEverlasting]

@MarkSentMe Thank you. I could not understand with all that laughter, although that line rightly deserved it all. Hilarious.

[bossyboots55]

who says two men cant dance! lovely !

[stenoch]

It's driving me nuts! Can someone please tell me what is the song Captain Peacock and Mr Rumbold play on the piano? I know I know it, but the name escapes me and I think I'm having a strozpqig&

[ShadowoOfBlood]

"This, would be wrong. And this-"

"HM!"

xD

[jennussery]

thank god someone put this episode up. thank you! :)

[Heavenzvoice]

What a sport when Ms Slocumbs dress comes up.

[Heavenzvoice]

One I'd the best gifts NY ex) who I am still friends with)...BBC. AYBS/ Keeping up Appearances ..

[MarkSentMe]

@Heavenzvoice Sounds like a KEEPER!!

[Mst3kfanatic1]

I have to say if you watch every episode in order it appears like Captain Peacock ages the most while Ms. Brahams is second

[MarkSentMe]

@Mst3kfanatic1 Season 3 Captain Peacock looks very skinny..I looked at some pictures of Nicholas Smith from Season 1 through Season 10- he hasn't aged or changed the entire series!!

[banneradders]

@MarkSentMe I wikied him earlier. Hard to believe hes the same age as Mr Lucas in real life

[MarkSentMe]

@Mst3kfanatic1 I think it's because he (Frank Thornton) and Wendy Richard had to hustle their butts off to earn a living. I researched his biography and read her autobiography...it seems they were always working!

[68hibiscus]

One of the best shows no matter how many times u watch it is very funny.All characters are really very good.Specially Lucas surprising why did they change him with spooner who was not amusing.

[Silverchrome73]

Truly one of my favorites :)

[ForsetiLover]

Mr. Grainger: "People really seldom curtsy in these days."

Mr. Humphries: "My milkman does."

Mr. Lucas: "You should stop answering the door in a tiara."

Mr. Humphries (smiling): "You've been there early, have you?"

[Central85]

at 17:15 can someone tell me what is B.O

[MissNymphetamine80]

@Central85 b.o. is body odor

[dannyday58218195]

hahahaha its george from some mothers do av em! so i guess after frank trashed his house he ended up doin dead end engineer work at grace bothers :P

[BodomTranquilityWorm]

I've said it before, I will say it again. Miss Brahms is a fucking babe!

Also, Mr Lucas and Captain Peacock are fucking hilarious!

[MarkSentMe]

Wait for the fish tail!! LMAO!

[sailorstartiff]

Mr.Humphries sunshine dance was awesome!!i'm gonna do it at college tomorrow!^w^

[226CrazyGamer]

im late im late i must press button 8 XD lmao

[Cliobrio]

Thanks again for uploading all of AYBS! i just love it! thanks mtwini09

[StoliDassah]

I just adore the scene when Mr. Humpheries and Capt. Peacock dance! I remember watching some show [may have been SYTYCD] and saw two men perform a ballroom dance together [tango maybe? can't remember!] and I yelled out at the TV, "HEY! Copy Cats!"

[wannabenj]

I love this show.Seems like all the great comedies come from England.I only seem to catch this show once in a while on PBS.Thanks to you I can watch these shows anytime I want.Thank you so much for uploading these shows.

[KTBEverlasting]

@wannabenj It still comes on PBS? What time? Because it used to come on @ 7:30 and then it stopped.

[StoliDassah]

@KTBEverlasting up here on WMHT they show an episode at 7:30 on Saturday [they used to play 2 episodes, but now just do one.] Saturday is their BritCom night, like a 5 hour chunk of shows.

[wannabenj]

@wannabenj Once in a while it comes on from the Long Island PBS 9pm or 9:30pm.And I believe once in a while Long Island PBS again around 2pm or 2:30pm on Thursdays.It comes on different times.But when they have their donation drive they will have it on alot.Check it out today,it should be on at 2 or 2:30pm.

[mrhumphries4u]

Humphries was SO adorable

[Kazzie5984]

Lovely Show. Wish it was still going today but it would not be the same without the original actors.

I wish GOLD (the television channel) would show them again.

[AlexDS69]

Put them in front of Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno, and 1's all around. Put them in front of Mary Murphy, and she'd be screaming, all right... in distress. The robots, on the other hand, would be on the Hot Tamale train.

[mxylpx]

The Dance lesson..a perfect shambles the Grace Brothers way!

[MrsJosephMerrick]

One of my fave eps! Many thanks for uploading all of these!!!!:)

[SeattleLA]

I thought I had seen everything in this show, until I saw Capt. Peacock and Mr Humphreys dancing together!

[frosty956]

Im late! Im late! I must press button eight!

[BeatlefanAfter909]

My gawsh.....I love when Captain Peacock plays the piano! :)

[MarkSentMe]

@BeatlefanAfter909 Oh, yum! <3

[rebeccatcastle]

Mr Lucas is so handsome and charasmatic

[theproducerjt]

What amazes me is that no American producer ever picked these talents up for the American market. Sadly, now it is too late! RIP Molly, John, Wendy, Trevor, et. al.

[LanakilaIesu]

I wonder who it was who became a bit preoccupied with dance as to work it into the show so thoroughly - between this and German Week's inclusion of folk dance, it seems like someone's mind was definitely on dance. :)

[ITSDANIELCROSSLEY]

@LanakilaIesu yes I tend to agree...they did have a lot of dance in the show which is what I always loved about it. Very entertaining x

[marcuspoppins]

Mr Lucas is a lovable sweety with a great cheeky personality. Love people like that!

[jackedwardsblueyes]

13:59 is the best

[jackedwardsblueyes]

I would of loved to of worked with Trevor!

[plasticspastic201]

the audience are crap missing all the jokes the thick bastards

[plasticspastic201]

@jackedwardsblueyes Hey Mr. STFU thanks. I take it you were in the audience. Say no more.

[plasticspastic201]

@jackedwardsblueyes temper temper. now look who is swearing. tut tut.

[plasticspastic201]

@jackedwardsblueyes i aint bullying you halfwit. i am DEFENDING myself against the tirade of abuse you aimed squarely at ME. Listen doofus, if you cant take it.. dont dish it.

PPPFFFFFFTTT.

[jackedwardsblueyes]

@plasticspastic201 in that as in so many things your information is faulty and I have nothing else to say to you apart from the fact that you were in the wrong and I was in the right. As always :)

[sammysimsom]

@plasticspastic201 oh be quite and stop causing trouble you twat!

[plasticspastic201]

@sammysimsom quit jacking off to slocombes pussy you sick pervert

[rebeccatcastle]

@plasticspastic201 why are you being so horrible and vulgar?

[plasticspastic201]

@rebeccatcastle because you like it.

[rebeccatcastle]

@plasticspastic201 you reckon? you have a screw loose darling!

[plasticspastic201]

@rebeccatcastle ooh matron

[harlechnorthwales]

11:05 is great. Trevor Bannisters facial expressions and cheeky comments were always the best. Adorable actor!

[Hallinilla9]

@harlechnorthwales Shame he just died.

[actorsneedtolearn]

@Hallinilla9 I know! very very sad! He was amazingly talented and I loved his cheeky manner

[booooooooo6]

[Bluesfan75ify]

[HinduWonder770]

[aika2010]

This first aired exactly 35 years ago today and it's still one of the best programmes I've ever seen. Thank you so much!

[Holydragonblade]

Yay!  Mr. Harman! I love Mr. Harman, he's so much better than Mr. Mash.

[121Swaleskid]

Lucas's laugh when mrs slocombe says "ill have 2 big ones"

;D

[InversK]

You sir are the greatest of them all. Thank you for this.

[sparish840]

I'm late I'm late I must press button 8!

[littlebiddyteapot]

love the fluffy dresses!

[Hallinilla9]

And thus Are You Being Served became a sci-fi show.

[chumshot1]

@Hallinilla9 LOLZ yeah Harmon makes so many references to Star Trek and R2-D2 throughout the show's run xD!!!!

[TouchYourFace77]

Here's how much I love this show: I had a migraine last night, but I was watching this. Well it was one of my few moments at home in peace, so I wanted to burn it up watching something I love. Four hours later, I'm curled up in my bed, head throbbing, every light off except my computer, and saying "One more episode...just one more..." lol :3

[chumshot1]

@TouchYourFace77 xD!!!!!!!

[rebeccatcastle]

@TouchYourFace77 ime the same! love this show and love Trevor Bannister as Mr Lucas. So cheeky and adorable!

[amatak1]

thank love this show it a classic
