Grace & Favour

I thought this was a nice continuation of the original series. Inman and Sugden just really make this work. I wish there were more of their work available. The rest of the cast also grew into their parts from the original. The addition of Fleur and Bennet opened up a whole new set of story side lines.

I thought the writing was superior to the original series. The quality of the production was also superior to the original.

With the exception of the last two episodes, the scripts were also superior to the original.

English humors sometimes don't do well in this US. But this one made the transition better then most, and even took advantage of some of the differences, IE, Mrs Slocum's cat.

I wouldn't mind seeing more.

It will often make you smile, and occasionally make you laugh out loud.

Only joking, I m not that old :) I loved the original, but this was also a great show. I wish they did more episodes. Sigh.

I REALLY liked this show! My favorite character is that old english Hillbilly. He's hillarious! I can see the many ways how this TV series is a disapiontment to the fans of the origanl, but it wasn't a let down for me! I was glad to see the Grace Bros. employees back together. ONE THING dissapionted me! Where was MR. LUCAS? HE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! I wish I knew the reason why he left the origanal in 1979.Still, this series is very humorous. My 2 favorite episodes are : The episode where this young black haired guy wants to fight Mr Humpries because that old Hillbillie's daughter has a crush on Mr Humpries and not himself. I understand that there were many episodes like this but i remember at the end, the cast is playing a game of CRICKET. My 2nd fave episode is where Mrs. Slocome EX-HUSBAND wants to buy the Motel. I remeber Mrs Slocome hides behind a liquor cabinet, where they used to hide people during the war! Thats was my absoulte favorite episdoe of this series! Enough said!

I loved the series.Yes the group is several years older and yes some of the lines seem strained but the magnitude of the actors and actress'personalities make them work.Mr.Lucas would have been perfect in this setting,i can just imagine some of the one liners he would have used.He is missed in this series.I enjoyed the addition of the molturds.I had to watch the series through one time before i really began to understand the change of venue and the interactions of the new cast additions.My favorite episode is when Mr.Rumbold is wandering around the house after the electricity is knocked out by a storm and is scaring everyone simply by his sillouette accented by candle light.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original series, "Are You Being Served?", but I LOVED the re-union series commented on here. It's good to see the old gang from Grace Brother's Department Store in such fine fettle (retired now, of course). The show is funny, charming, and in many ways superior to the original. The added cast members are marvelous and memorable. The new setting, a country inn (run for profit by our inexperienced cast)is far removed from their familiar city life and provides a greater range of backdrops for their mis-adventures. And, as always, the double entendre and mis-use of language are expertly used.

A thoroughly enjoyable show and I am "UNANIMOUS" in that!!!!!

PS--I dare you not to be charmed completely by Fleur Bennett's character Mavis. She's a scene stealer... (so's her dad)...
