Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft's long-running and sitcom following the misadventures of the staff of the ladies and gents clothing departments in the flagship Grace Brothers store, starring Mollie Sugden, Frank Thornton, John Inman, Wendy Richard and Nicholas Smith. Serving up slapstick and farce, the much-loved show was the embodiment of risque humour with more sexual innuendos and double entendres than you could shake a pair of knickers at. Are You Being Served? spanned ten series from 1972 to 1985 and also spawned a sequel series, Grace & Favour, and a spin-off movie.
