This is very rare footage of the filming of are you being served with interviews from some of the cast and lots of behind the scenes footage. I hope you enjoy! sorry about the sound but the quality isn't excellent

I worked 26 yeras in an old-fashioned department store and I can vouch for just how accurate a description of life there Grace Brothers was. It was a world of its own. I could have moved elsewhere for more money but I loved the atmosphere. Now these businesses are almost all gone. Which is a shame.

Quite a few comments here dwelling on the actors being dead. So they're dead, everyone dies. Focus instead on the fact that they left a super legacy of comedy with this delightful series; it's silly to boo-hoo about them not being with us anymore.

@@dickiegreenleaf750 It is odd. I can understand if it's a comment about an actor or celebrity who very recently passed away; I posted a comment about Jessica Walter the day she died, under a clip from Arrested Development. But making a comment years after a cast member passed on ... I don't get it. Might be a generational thing. I'm 55. Oh, well.

You have to understand, you see these people on your TV and you assume they’re still alive. I do that because even shows from the 60’s I look at these people like they’re still with us. Death is still a concept us humans can’t grasp sometimes.

@@varrick1226 I'd never assume that actors on TV are still alive today if they look 50 years old on an episode from 1975. Their age would be 96 now. Sorry, I don't share that point of view; I don't watch Bewitched and look at Paul Lynde like he's still alive. No disrespect, just completely different mind-set here.

That's how I became an admirer of Are You Being Served? and The Red Shoes (1948). Those were the days alright; would've been the late-'80s and very early-'90s.

This would have been the technical run through prior to the evening recording in front of a studio audience, most probably in Studio 8 at the BBC Television Centre. TC8 was a preferred studio for situation comedies at the BBC. The studio no longer exists as it was demolished in the redevelopment of TV Centre. Hi-de-hi, Open All Hours, Porridge, Morecambe and Wise, ‘Allo ‘Allo, and the Two Ronnies were some of the other programmes recorded in TC8.
