Are you being Served?
The hit series Are you being Served? is set to return to our screens for a one off programme after more than 30 years!
This family favourite set in the Grace Brothers store was great fun – does anyone remember a similar store in the town where you lived? The special which has been written by the same writers that brought us Benidorm is due to be filmed in March 2016 in front of a studio audience. Wouldn’t mind tickets for that one! How will they replace all the favourites such as Miss Brahams and Captain Peacock? A tall order maybe but the cast has already been selected with prominent roles going to Sherrie Hewson who will play the unforgettable Mrs. Slocombe (a favourite among the older dads? maybe not..) and Jason Watkins as Mr. Humphries (I’m Free!). There are some new characters also promised in the show so that will be interesting and just how PC will the humour be? certainly not as risque as the 1970’s humour it was well known for? Not sure if I’m totally correct but I think I remember hearing all the cast members passed away a few years ago. Let’s hope it does the original series justice and leads to another series successful hit comedy.
