'Are You Being Served,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
First floor: telephones, gents' ready-made suits Shirts, socks, ties, hats Underwear and shoes. Rising! The theme songThe British television sitcom Have you been Being Served? was broadcast on BBC One between 1972 and 1985. David Croft also wrote Come Back, Mrs Noah and co-created Dad's Army and Hi-De-Hi. Jeremy Lloyd also wrote 'Allo, 'Allo!.
Have you been Being Served? was about the Ladieswear and Menswear departments in the fictional department store Grace Brothers in London. The original staff was Captain Peacock,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Humphries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Lucas, Mr Grainger, Miss Brahms and Mrs. Slocombe. There is also the department manager, Mr Rumbold, Mr Mash, Young Mr Grace, and the secretaries. The show rarely left the setting from the store, going back and forth from Mr Rumbold's office, the canteen, Mr Grace's office, and the Ladies' and Men's department.
MenswearCaptain Stephen Peacock (played by Frank Thornton) was the haughty floorwalker. He'd a reputation for staring at and 'chatting up' ladies, for example Mr Grace's secretaries and so on. He claimed to have fought bravely in the war, but some joked he only ever worked in the kitchens shelling peas, peeling potatoes or some similar job.
Mr Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries (played by John Inman) was arguably the most popular character within the series. He was the senior assistant at the Menswear department, and endured his mother. Whenever Captain Peacock would call for Mr Humphries' assistance, Captain Peacock would say: 'Mr Humphries, are you free?' Mr Humphries would then make a show of searching and checking underneath the counter before replying: 'I'm free!' That line had become the catchphrase of the show.
Mr Humphries was very camp - very camp indeed. Through the series there have been countless jokes and one-liners which made reference to his effeminate nature, although at no point was it will be stated that he would be a homosexual. He was, nevertheless, an extremely funny character, and was well played.
Mr Ernest Grainger (played by Arthur Brough) was the head from the Menswear department, and was a classic and grumpy man, though very funny indeed. The head from the department was very often replaced; Mr Grainger was the initial,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and also the best, but was later replaced by Mr Tebbs. Mr Goldberg followed in series seven,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Klein in series eight, and Mr Grossman, also in series eight. The final appointment was none other than Mr Humphries. James - aka 'Dick' - Lucas (played by Trevor Bannister) was the young, cheeky junior assistant within the menswear department within the first seven number of Have you been Being Served? Mr Lucas would mainly make cracks at Mrs Slocombe, and was often scolded by Captain Peacock. Later, Mr Lucas was replaced by Mr Bert Spooner (Mike Berry) for that final three series. Although ostensibly a different character, when Mr Spooner used the mantle of junior assistant, the smoothness didn't differ much from Mr Lucas.
LadieswearMrs Betty Slocombe (played by Mollie Sugden) was the top from the Ladieswear department. Her hair was often a different colour each episode, for example green, blue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yellow etc. She was a bit snobbish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and displayed her quick temper towards Mr Lucas/Spooner, and was often making remarks about her pussy (talking about her cat), totally oblivious towards the suggestiveness from the remarks. One such typical comment was: 'I didn't obtain a wink of sleep last night. My pussy was so aggravated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I had to sit up all night stroking it'.
Miss Shirley Brahms (played by Wendy Richard1) was the Cockney junior assistant to the Ladieswear department. She was pretty, perhaps a little ditzy, and frequently used poor grammar. She was often leered at by Captain Peacock, and, like Mrs Slocombe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she also had a quick temper towards Mr Lucas/Spooner.
Office StaffMr Cuthbert Rumbold (Nicholas Smith) was the manager from the department. He was bald,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spectacled, big eared, and incompetent. He would think up wild, far-fetched reasons and methods to any disagreement or debate between the staff. Employees would often make cracks in the size his ears. Something towards the effect of:
Rumbold: Well, Mr Humphries, I'll keep a keen ear down. Young Mr Grace was the first one to show up on the show, and was, despite his title, very old and frail. He had a secretary along with a nurse, and both were very large-breasted,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attractive and prone to wearing revealing clothing. Whenever one of these would bend to pick something up in the floor, Mr Grace's pacemaker light would start going off flashing and beeping. Later within the series, Young Mr Grace was replaced by his brother Old Mr Grace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who, despite his title, actually looked younger than Young Mr Grace.
Other Staff MembersMr Mash (played by Larry Martyn) would be a member of the packing department,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and was often reprimanded by Captain Peacock for appearing in the public-facing regions of the store during opening hours. Cheeky and humorous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Mash was replaced in the programme after the third series by Mr Beverley Harman (Arthur English), who was savvier, funnier, a lot more insolent towards Captain Peacock, and often played more of a significant role in the plotlines.
The MovieLike many British TV sitcoms from the 1970s, Have you been Being Served? was handed the full-length feature-film treatment in 1977. With Grace Brothers closed for refurbishment, employees all go on holiday together to the Costa Plonka vacation. For their surprise, they finish up in the midst of a revolution, and an unfortunately not very funny film.
The Sequel SeriesIn the early 1990s, Are You Being Served? was revived for any sequel series, Grace and Favour2 that was set in a rustic manor. Many of the original characters returned, including Mr Humphries and Mr Rumbold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mrs Slocombe and Miss Brahms and Captain Peacock, alongside some fresh blood such as Miss Lovelock, Mr Molterd and his daughter, Mavis. Although the original show ran for ten series, Grace and Favour wasn't too loved by the more sophisticated audiences of the 1990s and only lasted for twelve episodes.
