If you are curious were your 80 programs have gone, they are currently being served up by the PBS stations in America under the group headings of "Brit Coms" and "Mystery Theatre"

So anyone with a yerning for "Are you being Served" just hop on a plane.

No I didn't think so smile

I never liked the young ones, and I must have been the only one. The best thing about it was Sayle, and Motorhead.
