  • The woman presenter has fabulous tits.

  • I remember Shane Bourne talking about this on "Get This" with Tony Martin.

  • It seems that Mr.Humphries is one of a kind, they could never find another actor to play the role so well.

  • Who is the redhead Australian host? She is hot!!!!

  • There is a way to see, albeit a difficuly and possibly expensive one, to view 8 episodes of it.

  • This is the most I've ever seen of the OZ version. Didn't realize it was almost an exact copy

  • Seems slightly strange after watching the original series and they copy the lines almost exactly. The woman playing Mrs Slocombe doesn't quite have Mollie Sugden's comic timing. Interesting though.

  • Really cool footage; I only wish there was more to show. Add my voice to those who want to see more of the Australian version of "AYBS?". Thanks for sharing!

  • It always annoyed me that Mr Humphries never pointed out how bizarrely similar the Australian store (and the people in it) was to the one back in England.

    The Aus version would have been a bit funnier funnier if the situations were all the same as the UK version, but Mr Humphries kept on realizing the strange sense of deja vu and would try to stop the crazy things from happening all over again...which resulted in even more craziness.

  • as far as i understand, channel 10 have no plans to release the Australian version to DVD. Also sometimes because of the age of the original master tapes and things like where they were stored, what format they were stored in, like for example No 96, some may have been lost or damaged over the years so perhaps they may no longer exist in their entirety.

  • @wilberforcehumphries I think alot if not all of the mastertapes were destroyed but there are still copies in the National Film and Sound Archive. 

  • This might not be as good as the UK version, but I would still love to see a complete episode from Bone Brothers!

  • I really wanna see the Australian version of AYBS?, its so hard to find tho! This is the most I've seen of it... :S

  • @ChocolateChad127 There's a couple of eps up now.

  • @ChocolateChad127

    Hi seen you comment no you can not buy this series any where they where two episode on youtube last year but they have been taken off.

  • I don't see the point of making a version for Aussie viewers.. they got the original version, there's no language barrier & nothing in it that an Australian audience wouldn't understand. What matters is not whether the characters sound Australian, but the quality of the writing & performance, which are both bound to suffer if you do a literal remake.

  • Yuck. Molly was 100 times funnier!

  • the British version is WAY better than this CRAP

  • lmao i knew it was Mr.Humphries as soon as he walked down the steps

  • can you get the whole series of are you being served australia on you tube

  • Looking at this clip it looks like some of the UK episode scripts were recycled for the Australian version.

  • I understand that American tv producers recycled scripts when they transplanted shows from the UK, too, at least for shows early on. I think "Sanford & Son" had a few like that from the original "Steptoe & Son".

  • @dumbbo1 "All in the Family" and "Three's Company" were two of the most famous American shows that were adapted from UK sitcoms.

  • @Valkonnen You're referring to "Till Death Do Us Part" and "Man About The House", I believe. We tried to rework "Fawlty Towers" twice but neither worked. We even tried "Cracker", but without Robbie Coltrane, what was the point?

  • @Valkonnen I actually prefer Three's Company to Man About The House & I'm English.
