Are You Being Served? Volume 2

Summary: Don't Just Buy Volume 2! Get the boxed sets NOW!
Review: Every Are You Being Served fan should buy both box sets of these hilarious series but, if one is only willing to purchase one DVD, this is it! IMO, three of the all-time best episodes are on volume 2 as well as 3 other excellent shows. There is not one weak episode on here. My favorite is "Big Brother" where Mr. Rumbold installs a hidden camera in the department to find a shop lifter but, instead, spies on the staff including counting how many times Mrs. Slocombe visits the powder room, what Mr. Grainger eats behind the counter, and what Captain Peacock does to Miss Brahms "nether regions." My second favorite is "Cold Comfort" when Grace Brothers decides to turn off the store heating system to conserve energy during the fuel crisis leading to some very innovative methods to stay warm in the men's department. "The Clock" is also excellent when Mr. Grainger, fearing he will be given the customary retirement clock during his 37th anniversary party, hears a "cuckoo" in Mr. Rumbold's office. The other episodes are also tops: "The Think Tank" where the staff puts on a trial fashion show in the hopes to improve sales, "Hoorah for the Holidays" when Young Mr. Grace presents the staff with paid-for vacation options that may not even be worth the price, and "Hand of Fate" when promotion rumors are flying and Mr. Humphries palm-reading skills are put to the test. I'm warning you, though, once you've see this DVD, you are going to want MORE!
