Subject: Are You Being Served?
Organization: Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp.
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1992 17:00:06 GMT
X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.11

At our house Are You Being Served? is watched and recorded regularly.  Our
local PBS station, KUED-7 (University of Utah) has broadcast Are You Being
Served? for the past three years.  It has only been within the last two 
years that we have recorded every episode.  For a time it was only shown on
Sunday evening at 10:00 PM, but about a month ago they broadened their
schedule to go from Sunday evening through Thursday evening.  The station
had a fund raising campaign in March and for the first time my wife pledged
$60 so that she could receive a Grace Brothers tote bag.  Our 15-year old
son is also very much into Are You Being Served? with his favorite character
being Mr. Harmon.  He likes Young Mr. Grace (Harold Bennett) much better
than Old Mr. Grace (Kenneth Waller).  They broadcast only one episode of the
Are You Being Served, Again one Sunday evening and we missed recording it.
When there isn't anything on during the day or evening (on cable) that my
wife enjoys, she plays the episodes of Are You Being Served? along with the
episodes of Fresh Fields and French Fields.  No one has mentioned this
British sitcom with Julia McKenzie and Anton Rogers.  We enjoyed it very
much and wish that it hadn't stopped.  They are now running the sitcom "May
To December" with Anton Rogers once a week, but we don't like than one nearly
as well.

Is there anyone heading up a fan club for Are You Being Served?  We would be
very interested.  We concur with the opinions expressed here on the net about
the dismal US sitcoms compared to what the British have to offer.

KUED-7 has started to broadcast Fawlty Towers again.  They ran it several
years ago but we weren't aware of how great they were back then, so my wife
is now trying to catch every episode.  My wife has several movies with John
Cleese in them:  Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life; A Fish Called Wanda,
and Clockwise.

Does anyone out there know if the cast members of Are You Being Served? are
aware of how well their sitcoms are liked over here?  I wish our PBS station
had made arrangements for John Inman to appear here during our fund drive.
Denver, Colorado isn't that far away and to know he was so close and we
missed such an opportunity.  Oh, well.

BTW, "Come Back Mrs. Noah" with Mollie Sugden was broadcast here last year
for a while and my wife recorded every episode.  We think Mollie Sugden is
a great, multitalented actress, but we liked her better as Mrs. Slocome.

His name WAS Mr. Harmond (only you don't hear the 'r' with the English
accent, so that's probably why it sounded like Hammond).  I'm sure that
he came after Mr. Mash, because I know that Mr. Mash was in the black
and white episode from 1972, and Mr. Harmond was in the last episode
(Where Mr. Spooner became a singer).  BTW, does anybody realize that the
20th anniversary of AYBS will be this year?

In several episodes I've seen, it's both.  The full name given in those is
"Wilberforce Claybourne (sp?) Humphries".

I'm thinking of one in particular where he had some spat with his mother or
some such, and had a suitcase with him.  He tried to hide it in the center
display, and Capt. Peacock noticed it and the initials "WCH" on the side.

Seconded (quite STRONGLY in fact).  You might want to check out "Twelfth Night"

Penelope Keith NEVER appeared in 'Neighbours'!  (That is an Australian
soap opera that was responsible for setting Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan
on the world!).

She is still active, recently appearing in 'No job for a lady', where she
plays the main character, a Member of Parliament.  It has its moments, but
it's not wonderful.

     That is exactly why I am not real excited about NBC producing its own
version of Red Dwarf.  It will probably be just another stupid sitcom with
all the good parts of the original Red Dwarf taken out to appese the 
"greater American" audience.  In other words, it will have all the same 
jokes you see in any other sitcoms, but the setting will be a space ship
3 million years in the future. 

     By the way, before someone flames me too badly, let me say that my
statment about American sticoms is my own personal opinion.  I realize
that a lot of people enjoy American sitcoms, and so do I at times, but
Red Dwarf is one of the few sitcoms that I actually looked forward to seeing
each week and would love to see sevaral more times over.  It is really
good.  Of course, if NBC does come out with a version of Red Dwarf, I will
be watching it to see because even if they keep half of the ideas of the
original Red Dwarf, it will be good enough to watch.

Television seems to `pull' in most of the talented comedians in these
enlightened times.  A notable, if not notable, example is Stephen Fry
who, in the late eighties, wrote an excellent series of half-hour
family fun day care comedy radio programmes called `Saturday Night
Fry' in the late eighties.  They remain, to me, some of the funniest

I was in Denver during that pledge drive, and Inman was great. 
However, KRMA-TV offered autographed pictures of Mr. Inman, but not
the Grace Brothers tote.  I might have gone for that, and I don't
even live in Denver any more!

Does anyone know where a Grace Bros. tote might be found?

God, I remember watching this show when it came on the `tele' in England.

But being over the other side of the water, I don`t know what became
of this show that I watched years ago.
Which brings me to my question:

	How long was this show on and do any of its cast
	members move on to other things that might be
	possible to catch on the TV state side?

  			Thanks
