May be I am alone in this but I don't know the whole Are You being Served 
story.  I have seen the show and like it.  Was is first called AYBS and 
later changed to Grace and Favour in the UK which was then renamed AYBS in 
the US?  What is the full story?

I heisted the list from the net some time ago.  What the actual ordering
should be is not entirely clear, and I for one have not been very concerned
about it.  If there is someone, like yourself, who wishes to research
a preferred ordering, then I would be willing to change it for the list.

The purpose of the list is not to serve as a definitive guide to
Black Adder episodes, but to merely assist in keeping track of the
scripts we have managed to transcribe.  Changing the order at this point
would require changing the names of the files at the FTP site, and might
cause some confusion for people.  But I'm willing, if a strong enough
case is presented.

I think Daniels right (i.e. one off episode) as the only trailer I've seen
is the segment of the new Screen One season. Screen One is a series of
plays for TV so I wouldn't expect a full series.

While it was Time-Life Television that added voice-over to Dr. Who episodes, 
and A&E that adds numerous commercials to 40+ minute Black Adder episodes 
and somehow comes out with a total run time of ~30 minutes, I'd heard that 
"The Good Life" was already taken and, for legal reasons, the title "Good 
Neighbors" was adopted.

In the case of "Grace and Favour", I'm sure it was the tremendous success 
of "Are You Being Served" here in the states that influenced someone to 
change the name to a sequel format.  It would make sense, dollar-wise, to 
associate the second with the first.

Of course, the above is hearsay and personal opinion, respectively, but it 
makes sense to me :-).

Hey, we just started getting Mr. Bean last week (Saturday to be precise).
Saturday nights out here in Vancouver anyways. It is a fairly imaginitive
series which has it's moments. I think we saw the pilot the other night and it
was a little weak at first but got better later on. 

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get an episode list and
wether or not it was still in production and, I guess, how many episodes have
been aired to date. Thanks. :-)

I think this is quite important, especially if you're going to all the 
trouble of transcribing them. I think the videos for all the episodes are
in the right order - i.e. 2 tapes for each series, each with three episodes,
with the episodes on the right order on each tape. It's very easy to find out 
which tape comes first in each series.

She's a big Emma Thompson fan, and she knows that there was a TV show in Britain called "Thompson".  Or was it "Emma"?  In any case, that's all she knows about the show.

Was this show a comedy, a drama, a variety...?  And is there anyone out

There are two versions of "The Plank".  One was made by Eric Sykes et
al. in the 50s, the second was a re-make in colour in the 70s.  The 50s
versions is fresher and much funnier.

To explain: "The Plank" is a short film exploiting the comedic
possibilities of a long narrow piece of wood.  The plot, such as it is,
simply concerns the efforts of two labourers (Eric Sykes and another
well known comedy actor) to buy a plank and transport it to where it's
needed.  On the way there are all kinds of mishaps, mistakes etc.
It's been a long time, so I hardly remember the scenes, but one stands
out:  The plank is tied on top of a car, and the rear end happens to
find its way into the open back of a van.  A man climbs into the van,
sits on what he thinks is a seat, opens his newspaper and lights a
cigarette.  The van drives away, leaving him in midair on the end of
the plank.  I think that the car then drives off with him aboard......

Other efforts from the same crew (Eric Sykes, Hattie Jaques, Harry
Secombe etc.) include "Rhubarb", a short where everyone talks in
stage mutters ("Rhubarb rhubarb?  Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb!") and acts
out a sequence of funny skits using only mime and voice intonation.
Hilarious.

Actually there have been nine Mr. Beans released, "The Adventures of Mr.
Bean", "The Curse of Mr. Bean", and "Mr. Bean goes to town.",  of which there
were three in each "series".  I may have got the titles slightly wrong, but
they are pretty close (so don't bother writing to me).  

The few that were made into movie trailers were actually shown on TV (in
Australia anyway), but R.A remade them for Cinema, using the same actors but
modified them slightly.  

In may interest some Mr. Bean fans to know that some of the material used was
a (vague) reworking of some ideas in RA's "Canned Laughter" shows.  If anyone
can remember these shows (when, how many made, are they released on Virgin
video etc) I would be most grateful for any information, as I have only seen
one.

The early(ish) life of the _Comic_Strip_Presents_, well at least the period
when they were first on British TV and I was at school (a long time ago),
is documented in a book : "Didn't you kill my mother in law" and includes,
if I remember correctly, some scripts and background information.  I have
a copy somewhere I'll fish out the ISBN, publisher etc if any one is 
interested.  Also there are two spin-off albums from _Bad_News_
with a truely excelent version of Bohemian Rahpsody (Sp??), putting
Wyane & Garth's rendition to shame.   

Did Phil really mean "seat of your loin"?

Fav Quotes : 

Fistfull of Traveller's Cheques : "You want toilet paper? This is Hotel
Bastardo, you want toilet paper you goto Hotel Gayboy, and no flushing
guns down the toilet."

Five Go Mad ? : to Ade Edmonson as he attempts to rip an electricity coin 
meter off the wall with a crowbar : "Won't you get a shock?"
Ade E. : "Only if it's empty"

1, 4, 3, 2, 5, and 6 is also the order in which I've seen them sold mail order
(with three episodes per tape, so it's not just the mail order company
changing things around).

No flames for starting a sentence with a number not spelled out, please.

The second possibility:  there is no fifth series and no plans for one either.
