Are You Being Served? - The Complete Collection Series 1-10 (DVD, 2004, 14 Disc Boxed Set)

This is a very funny BBC series about the staff and goings on of the Grace Bros. Dept. Store. I have enjoyed this show on PBS for years, and now can watch it whenever I like.

I purchased this set for my wife and myself to watch at night before bed. The strange thing is that my son who is 20 also likes it. British comedy never dies. It just gets recycled, and is just as good every time!

I have been a fan of Are You Being Served? for many years and have always wanted the entire series. Now I don't have to wait until Saturday nights to watch my favorite Britcom.

If you enjoy BBC comedies, this one is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it. It was broadcast in my area late in the evening into the early morning and I found myself staying up late so as not to miss it. For "smarter kids", the sexual inuendos are all through the show, but nothing is directly offensive that I've ever seen and just a really good time watching it.

This was without a doubt the best DVD Purchase I ever made I enjoy their classic style. You'll be entertained the whole way through. Worth the money. A+++ a must have.

I love this show and since it's not on our local station any longer I had to get the complete set. This is the best example of British humor available.

This is one of the best british comedy I have ever seen, such a wonderful sense of humor and wit. We have been watching this for last 6-7 years, still feels like watchiing for the first time but unfortunately I did not receive the dvd set,I paid $104 with my personal check though. Thanks to wondrful service of ebay and their cust. service.

"Are You Being Served?" was written by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, well-known among the British for their various comedy productions. This show originally aired in the 70's by the British Broadcasting Corporation and casts some of Britain's biggest stars such as John Inman and Mollie Sugden.
This comedy is about the dysfunctional staff of the Ladies and Gentleman's clothing department in a store named Grace Brothers. It has an unbelievably quirky contingent of clerks in the department, that when they combine, it makes for a hilarious shopping experience! Not only does this show have hilarity, it has a musical sense to it as well. In quite a few episodes, you will see the staff in some type of musical performance and dance routine that goes along with the script. This adds even more comedy,and I think it makes the show that much more enjoyable!
I bought this complete series because i absolutely loved it when it was a running series in the US. PBS used to air this show in the late 80's to the mid 90's, along with other British comedies, usually late at night. My mother and i used to stay up and watch this show together, and just laugh and laugh.
The only thing that i dislike about this show is that there are a few staff replacements throughout the series. Even though a new staff member of Grace Bros. is introduced, the new staff member acts in an almost identical manner as the one they replaced.
This show is among my top 5 favorites. The comedy revolves mostly around the hard times and the low wages that the staff receive. This causes them to come up with interesting an out-of-this-world solutions to their problems.This helps to cause a lot of mischief going on in the departments among each other, and sometimes taking up to management level. To me, the mixture of the characters and how they act with one another is what makes this show so funny. I think that you will find every character in this department has a specific trait that will remind you of people in your workplace!
I recommend this show for ages 25-60. The script makes a few historical references that people under the age of 25 might know or remember, and therefore miss out on the comedy that the reference is based on.
I recommend that if you have never watched this show, that you start from the very beginning, but don't judge it just by that. You need to watch a few episodes to see how the staff interacts with one another, and the comedy and chaos it creates.

I've watched ARE YOU BEING SERVED? for many years on PBS... I LOVE the characters, story lines, and the especially troublesome predicaments they manage to get themselves into and the extraordinary things they have to do to get themselves out of them. I "thought" I'd seen every episode, especially after watching the show for so long, but this 14 dvd collection had episodes I hadn't seen before. Add to that, the "extra features" and this collection is well worth the money. I highly recommend this collection. And while you're at it... don't forget... ARE YOU BEING SERVED AGAIN (their adventures at Millstone Manor) and the movie ARE YOU BEING SERVED, the MOVIE. Highly entertaining.

a comedy set in a department store only the british could pull this off . the shows interwoven characters and plots is a funny captivating lot. you trulely beging to feel part of the grace brothers family as you watch and laugh along with this group of people trying to get through work and life. some jokes take figuring out but the show is fuunny and entertaing pah

OH, OH, OH...want a great crew !
It's a shame their still not doing this show. But time goes on.
Then again no one could every take their places or create the magic.
Their antics and songs and dances are timeless.
FUNNY! FUNNY! FUNNY!
A wonderful show for all time and ages.
So glad I could get the complete series for myself and my
6 year old granddaughter to enjoy, I know she'll laugh and laugh.
WONDERFUL!!!

This was the greatest tv citcom in the 70's..
i was not around when it came out but I used to watch it every night with my grandmother!

I show is very funny and well written. The actors are well cast for their parts. The comedy is mildy suggestive at the adult level.

One of the greatest British sitcoms ever created. The whole cast is a delite to watch and hilarious.

Daily life in a British Department Store - inuendos and plots abound.

Great to see from start to finish with this set.

one of the funnest shows we have seen just great a laugh all the time fun time when weather is bad in norther USA

Absolutely hilarious, excellent example of British comedy. Interesting commentary on the British in general.

If you like British comedy, this is the Best of the Best. It takes the Best of top actors and top writers with excellent inventiveness to produce such consistent laughs while almost all of the scenes are being set on the same floor of a department store.

I'm a huge fan of this comedy. Have been for years. You'll fall inlove with the cast, they are so great.It's quirky british fun.

Thank you very much for the wonderful DVD's. Can't stop watching them, and am so happy to finally have what I wanted, following the huge disappointment from a previous seller who took my $ but never sent me this series!

Thank you!

I became hooked on this British sitcom during college, and moving around the globe hasn't afforded me the opportunity to view reruns, so I knew I had to buy the complete series! Being in retail, and loving dry humor enabled me to appreciate this fantastically scripted series even more. Setting is one area or another of a department store, and the antics that go on while they are assisting customers, dealing with one another daily, and divulging their personal issues. You and your "pussy" (cat - you have to watch it to appreciate that pun) should have a spot of tea and enjoy the viewing! It's fantastically classic!

I've been looking for these two sets. It was a good price and excellent
service. I havent had time to look at all of these yet but thank you for the good service and fast delivery.

I love it because I love British comedies, there is nothing that I dislike about it and I love everything about it. The sellers were great and the product is flawless. nThanks guys.
