Grace & Favour (1992)
FUN, even if...
Even though the show is maybe half as fun as the 18 Carat gold fun of AYBS -because the plot is more contrived or whatever, many of the strengths of AYBS remain.
Brilliant Timing Baby. Nice new cast additions.
I admit to being a bit prejudiced because I love AYBS, but 9 Carat gold is still a fine thing. So Hallmark this.
Are You Being Served? (1972)
Timeless
Timeless Fun Because:
It's a fun take on the perennial bad treatment of workers.
The timing is drop dead brilliant. (That's one reason we can watch the same episodes over and over.)
The cast is so damn talented. Singing, dancing, piano playing.
Just good fun.
When I was working in Waterloo, London as a security guard I braved bodily harm in convincing my mad South End workmates that AYBS was great. At first they said it was S***E, but after being cajoled into watching a few episodes even they came around.
