Synopsis
Catchphrases, high camp and pussy jokes; Are You Being Served\ was the very picture of seventies sitcom silliness. This DVD release of the seventh series sees Mr Humphries, Mrs Slocombe and the rest of the Grace Brothers gang back for more innuendo-laden froth, slapstick comedy and panto-style banter.

Customer Reviews

Saucy seaside postcard humour
Even if you are just a casual purchaser of British comedy,you should give
this a try.Saucy seaside postcard humour more commonly associated with the
Carry On films is transplanted neatly onto the small screen perfectly.
This series,originally broadcast in 1979,is the 7th,and despite the show
being well into its run,rest assured it is still as fresh and funny as ever.Lets be honest,you can never tire of hearing Mrs Slocombe going on
about her pussy.
This is the final outing for Mr Lucas,which is a bit sad,as Trevor Bannister is a brilliant foil for the other members of the team.
We bid farewell to Mr Tebbs who is replaced by Mr Goldberg,played by the
late Alfie Bass.While they are two lovely characters,i still miss the
presence of Mr Grainger who was one of the originals.
There are no weak links in any of the episodes,"The Agent" and"Strong
Stuff This Insurance"are two hilarious gems in my opinion.
Why are 2 entertain so slow in releasing this classic show?
I asked in one of the forums why in the USA and Australia the remaining
series 8-10 is available on DVD,while we(who made the show)have to wait.
A very kind gentleman did explain to me the reasons,but at the end of the day "Are You Being Served" is one of Britain's most popular comedies and
and will sell exceptionally well.
And bearing in mind the recent sad losses of both Mollie Sugden and
Wendy Richard,i think the time has come for the remaining series and
the spin-off show "Grace And Favour" to be released ASAP!
It would be a well deserved fitting tribute to two much missed wonderful
and versatile actresses.

A long time coming but worth the wait
After numerous delays series 7 of Are You Being Served finally arrives on dvd. Was it worth the wait ? Of course it was - the dvd contains all 7 episodes as well as the 1979 Christmas special The Punch And Judy Affair. This series is just as funny as the previous series and was also the last to feature Trevor Bannister as Mr Lucas and Harold Bennet as Young Mr Grace (accept from a couple of guest appearences in later series). Series 7 also introduced us to Mr Goldberg played by Alfie Bass who only lasted this series.

This series has been delayed so many times. I don't know why 2 Entertain do this. They can guarantee a popular sitcom like this will sell. Series 8 is available on Australian dvd and series 9 is due out soon. Once again us Brits are left out in the cold. Lets hope 2 Entertain pull their finger out and release the rest of the series alot quicker.

Finally after a long wait, its arrived
Well after a long wait and many date set backs season 7 of Are You Being Served has finally arrived and i have to say it been worth the wait.

My favourite episode (and 1 which i have waited ages to see "The Apartment")was still as good as i remembered it.

this season sees the deaprture of Mr Grainger (not seen just a banner and farewell lunch) to the introuction of Mr Goldberg(Alfie Bass) who goes from juniour to senior sales assistant in one episode.

7 great stories which sees Mrs Slocombe become senior managment, Mr Humphries a rather poor wrestler and Mr Goldberg an agency tycoon, still as hilarious and great to watch now as it was 29 years ago.

The only down side was the christmas special which as it was a good story and Mr Lucas playing the funniest Punch i have ever seen i did not feel this was very christmasy as past specials were, i mean you did not see one single christmas tree or bauble

But on the whole still worth 5 stars for Mrs Slocombes "Mr Humphries will you please leave my pussy alone"
