Mrs. Crawford's new flat has disappeared in a landslide, and none of the staff offer her accommodation. Mr. Bone allows Mrs. Crawford to stay at the store. With her furniture set up, pussy by her side and a real front door (complete with door bell) Mrs. Crawford is just as happy as can be, until a transport strike leaves everyone without a ride home. The staff slowly turn up at Mrs. Crawford's front door asking for a place to stay.

Replacing squatters with a landslide is quite a funny adaptation.

I give them credit to make the series Australian centered. However, I, too, state that "nothing beats the British version."

Most of these Australian episodes are word-for-word scripts from the British series written by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, yet another writer is credited. That's weird.

It can't be word-for-word.

I think it is because, from the late 70s to mid 80s the BBC gave licenses to Commonwealth realm broadcasters free rights to their most successful scripts and casting. The original writers didn't have crediting rights in their contracts with 'Aunty' (very unfair). I am guessing the credited writee simply 'localised' the scripts a little.

In the UK it was squatters in her new flat that caused Mrs Slocombe-s moving issues, not Mrs Crawford's 'landslide' of course

The American version never made it past the first episode, Beane's of Boston. It was a horrible remake of German Week.

I missed the comedy beat of the original show. The jokes are delivered too fast and it seems like the lady playing Mrs. Crawford rushes thru her lines and doesn’t show much emotion. She cannot compare to Mrs. Slocombe! What a genius!

John Inman was right... these episodes were "tighter." Hindsight _is_ 20/20, I suppose. Plus, correct casting from "down under" doesn't 'alf 'urt either!

the best part was when captain wagstaff thought humphries was getting in bed with him and then showed immediate relief that it was randall. He didnt even question why he was there.

@FrederickFeatherstone 11 ай бұрын

They did the same thing in the original Are You Being Served? Captain Peacock didn't question why Mr. Lucas was getting in the bed, so long as it wasn't Mr. Humphries.

@OhioticketswithRobert 5 ай бұрын

This such a poor substitute for the original that I wonder if they had someone else that originally was to play the Humphries character and that's why John Iman was staring in it?
