While We Are On Britian, What Are Your Favorite Comedies?

The absolute winner has to be: "Are you being Served".  It took place in a London Department store.  Each actor was unique, from Mr. Humphreys, to Mrs. Slocum, to Captain Peacock, to Mr. Grainger (who could imitate Winston Churchill 100%), to Young Mr. Grace (who was probably ninety), etc. etc.  If you enjoy British humor, like I do, then try to see some episodes.

Judy gets better with age! saw an older series with her real life husband as a shy little gardener-she was quite chubby-the chemistry was still terrific!

John Cleese a fabulous actor! Poor Manuel! don't mind him, he's from Barcelona! He was married to Polly when they wrote that-but Prunella Scales played his wife to perfection!

Prunella was in another beauty Lucinda and Map! hats to die for!
