Grace And Favour


"Grace And Favour" is a 12 episode long spin-off series of the long running sitcom "Are You Being Served?" from Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft. The original series told the everydays of the personnel of a department store and was very popular during its 13 year long runtime. In 1992, some of the original cast reunited to make Grace And Favour, in which the retired characters decide to run a country hotel after they realise that is the only way to access their pension fund. The first video contains the title sequence and some later scenes edited together. I especially like the character of Mrs Slocombe, played by Mollie Sugden, whose posh behaviour is sometimes so marvellously dropped should the proper situation arise... Two further scenes include one in the bedroom of this honourable lady and another one in which she is very much upset...
