Are You Being Served? (1972–1985) watch online

Are You Being Served? is a British television sitcom that was broadcast from 1972 to 1985. It was created and written by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, with Croft also serving as executive producer and director. Michael Knowles and John Chapman also co-wrote certain episodes with Lloyd and Croft. Produced by the BBC, the series originally starred Mollie Sugden, Trevor Bannister, Frank Thornton, John Inman, Wendy Richard, Arthur Brough, Nicholas Smith, Larry Martyn and Harold Bennett, with Arthur English, James Hayter, Alfie Bass, Mike Berry, Kenneth Waller and Candy Davis taking subsequent roles. Set in London, the show followed the staff of the retail ladies' and gentlemen's clothing departments in the flagship department store of the fictional Grace Brothers, a stuffy and old-fashioned establishment constantly out of step with the times.

The series was broadcast on the BBC for 10 series, totalling 69 episodes between 8 September 1972 and 1 April 1985, including five Christmas specials. A ratings hit with UK audiences, it gained international attention when broadcast across several English-speaking countries, including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the Republic of Ireland, and the United States. A feature film of the same title was released in 1977, and a spin-off television series, Grace & Favour, ran from 1992 to 1993 with the same main cast. In 2004, Are You Being Served? was ranked 20th in a television countdown of Britain's Best Sitcom. A one-off revival episode with a new cast was created in 2016. The sitcom – including its pilot and Christmas specials – the spin-off and the film have since been released on DVD.
