Are You Being Served: Our Figures Are Slipping 1.3

[bigham100]

If I was Mr Lucus I would be so annoyed if Captain Peacock told me off for being 1 - 2 min's late then expect me to stay behind to practice something after the store closes.

[msunami]

HANDBAG!!

[MarkSentMe]

@dwarflover63 They only had ONE shot at taping this. They did 2 rehearsals and then one run through in dress and then taped in front of the live audience.

[zibikit]

Mr. Grainger @ 21:51 reminds me of a squirrel with an acorn. "DO you mind?!" LOL!

[thesteve120]

Mr Lucas really is THAT good :P

[42bluey]

@thesteve120 I love this show I watched it as a kid mrs slomcum is so funny

[42bluey]

@thesteve120 I use to watch this show as a kid:)

[youtubaholic]

mtwini09 i LOVE you

[Bonzostar]

Mr. Rumbold struggles to conceal his laughter at Mr. Humphries' comment at 8:08. Fantastic!

[42bluey]

@Bonzostar I love Mr Humphries he is sooooooo cools:) I think he was the first english gay actor in a show like this:):)

[Mst3kfanatic1]

At 13:45 i wonder if Wendy Richard was acting like she was laughing or was laughing for real at the joke made by Frank Thornton.

[MarkSentMe]

@Mst3kfanatic1 I believe she is really busting up laughing!

[lionandcobra]

@Mst3kfanatic1 yes.it seems she isn't acting

[jrmetmoi]

This time Mr. Rumbold's secretary is very un-slutty! LOL

[MarkSentMe]

@ 1:59 and 2:06 Captain Peacock stumbles on Lucas' name. @ 2:06, he almost calls him Mr. Humphries!

[sillybabybunnies]

in this particular episode, the only character who makes jokes at other people's expense is Mr. Lucas. only miss brahms makes a single rude comment... baldie... all other characters remain funny without resorting to insulting comments.

YAY England

[Mst3kfanatic1]

@sillybabybunnies Well he did it because that's his character the others dont really fit with the whole insulting thing.

[kedemdaniyela]

:-))

[adrenobrit]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing... Never fails to bring a laugh and a smile to me 38 years on... Jez 40 years in 2013... :-O

[mothersfreakout]

I love this show so much. <3

[szqsk8]

Mrs Slocombe says she should not be expected to "clock in like a chah". What does that mean? I love these British shows here in the US on The PBS but a lot of the 'slang' goes right over me.

[RiteToSpeak]

@szqsk8 a "char" was a manual worker, so she's saying she's not a skivvy/lowly assistant.

[MarkSentMe]

@szqsk8  A "char" as in "Chorewoman"...a cleaning lady

[MarkSentMe]

4:31  mmmmm

[MarkSentMe]

At 13:45 Wendy Richard totally loses it! Very funny!

[AJBSONIC]

the expression Captain Peacock makes at 1:27 is perfect

[cw605]

Season 1, Episode 2: Our Figures Are Slipping

Original Air Date—28 March 1973

Sales figures for the department are lower than expected so Mr. Rumbold has instructed the staff on new sales techniques. Besides viewing the store as a ship or a battlefield, Mr. Rumbold feels that the staff, particularly Mr. Lucas, should smile more in an effort to charm the customers.

[BodomTranquilityWorm]

I fucking love this show, Thanks for the upload

[bipap1000]

God bless you for this and all other episodes.

[sailorstartiff]

I gotta have hot buns and hot cocoa for breakfast ^w^

[sailorstartiff]

Mr.Humphrey doesnt look bad...i would go as a him for halloween

[bipap1000]

Love this series...

[newherkimer]

I love how he sells Mr. Grace his own coat, and then during the credits Mr. Grace finds something in his "new" coat's pocket.

[twinkiememphis]

Mr. Rumbold had a very small office in this season...

[mxylpx]

Rumbald the perenial corporate idiot..love his "meetings"!

[Midori165]

Well it had to happen eventually.' Love Mr. Humphries!

[whatuswattingat]

"DO YOU MIND?" The way Lucas reacts to Humphries squeezing the buns is just priceless!

[daaanNederland]

2:00 :)

[pspboy7]

It's funny, my sister can talk just like Miss Brahms sometimes. It was almost scary hehe.

[orochikaiba]

R.I.P. Mr. Lucas, you were by far one of my fave characters on the show

[TheSheiban]

@orochikaiba I just found out the terrible news. So sad that he's gone now :(

[MsFanmail]

What has happened to sitcoms these days it has gone downhill. I love all the 1970s sitcoms, Doctor in the house, Man about the house, George and mildred, Mind your language, Are you being served, Doctor at large, Please sir these sitcoms are all classics and are so funny now in 2011.

[d25music]

"Are you free Mr. Granger?" lmao I love it. Poor Mr. Granger is so tired.

[sigsound16]

"are you free mr. granger?" that always makes me laugh. im 20 and i love this show :) thank you so much!!!

[MsFanmail]

mrs slocombe pussy

[chrisoneal2718]

@SuperPeace1990 The episode where they are all sleeping on a mattress is Is It Catching? from Season 8. Or are you referring to the one where they are all sleeping in tents on the floor? That one is Camping In, the next episode after this one.

[volticman]

I Just Love This Show It Makes Me Laugh Every Time I Watch It.

[MrSmiffy07]

@volticman Great show

[MrSmiffy07]

Would love to hear n chat with you guys about this classic.

[MrDuaner123]

RIP Mrs Slocombe & Miss Brahms..one of my fave Britcoms

[SuperPeace1990]

whats that episode where the staff all stay overnite and they are all trying to sleep on that mattress on the floor? i remember i thought that one was so funny but i cant remember which one it is

[SuperSlavisha]

Maybe I was British in some previous life,I like your country,culture,history,I am Montenegrin from the Mediterranean,I hope that I sometimes have the opportunity to visit England. My favorite series are: Keeping up appearances Are you being served Grace and favour Only fools and horses The vicar of Dibley Eastenders The green green grass Absolutely fabulous Little Britain Red dwarf ETC

[pspboy7]

Tittle's will have to cross his legs! LOL

[pspboy7]

Haha, Mr. Lucas got back at Captain Peacock!

[endracismguy]

[elendil77]

@endracismguy

not to mention his military career! Is their any WW2 battlefield he hasn't experienced?

[nw8000]

Why does the VT stop at 1:36?

[1dids1]

thanks for all these, Im not even old enough to remember them first time round which shows how timeless this and many other british comedies are, they appeal to every generation... thanks again!

[wotldthe2006]

Lol at Mr.Rumbold always taking things the wrong way.

[quirpco]

On the chest of a barmaid from Sale

was tattooed all the prices of ale.

Whilst on her behind,

for the sake of the blind,

was precisely the same but in braille!

[SamhainTheDark]

@quirpco I don't know about anyone else, but I liked that little limerick. lol

[FareezLovesMe]

@quirpco Would that be all, Captain Peacock ? Haha

[blubryfields4evr]

LOVE the theme song to death. And the show.

[IAmTheUnknownPunk]

"There's my pussy to consider!"

[Heavenzvoice]

@IAmTheUnknownPunk Whos going to put it out!...how she said this line without laughing every time I have no idea!

[mememango2244]
