If you loved the original Are You Being Served, then you might like the second series, Grace and Favour. It takes just about the while cast of the original, and plops them down in the English countryside. They may be older, and retired from Grace Brothers, but some of the charm and quality is still there. Mr. Rumbold, Capt. Peacock, Ms. Brahms, Mrs. Slocombe, and Mr. Humphries all have not lost their charm. They added a couple more characters to the mix, the local tenant farmer, Mr. Moulterd, and his daughter Mavis. The writing wasn't as good as the original series, but the characters are still the same. The additional characters do bring new situations to the party, but the show just doesn't take off.
