About the Book

Eight vintage TV soundtracks from the long-running BBC sitcom set in a fictional London department store

Are You Being Served? was a comedy juggernaut, running for 10 series between 1973 and 1985 and often attracting audiences of over 20 million. A family favourite, it was a fun-packed mix of double entendres, slapstick and larger-than-life characters – including cat-loving Mrs Slocombe and camp menswear assistant Mr Humphries, with his famous catchphrase, ‘I’m free’!

In these eight innuendo-filled episodes, the staff of Grace Brothers are embroiled in sundry side-splitting schemes, from spending the night in tents on the shop floor to organising birthday celebrations for Mr Grainger and Young Mr Grace, and trying to learn new sales techniques to charm the customers. Mishaps and misunderstandings abound when Mr Goldberg establishes his own recruitment agency; a photo of Mr Humphries’ mother sparks some wild speculation; Mr Grainger wins the pools and decides to retire; and Young Mr Grace hints that he’s going to propose to Mrs Slocombe...

Written by legendary comedy writing partners Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, these laugh-out-loud shows feature a brilliant ensemble cast including Frank Thornton, Mollie Sugden, Trevor Bannister, John Inman, Wendy Richard, Arthur Brough, Nicholas Smith and Harold Bennett.

Disclaimer: some episodes may contain dated attitudes and language.
