Are You Being Served Again?

Good news for Are You Being Served fans, the show is set to return for a one off special later this year.



 
My excitement quickly vanished when I learnt that Sherry Hewson is to play the part of Mrs Slocombe, she's about as funny as heart disease, they should have offered that role to Gwen Taylor or better still Penelope Keith. I'm not looking forward to seeing this at all.

  1. Re-makes make me cringe if I'm familiar with the original.

    1. It's sacrilegious. That Sherrie Hewson must be a vain cow if she thinks she could take the place of Mollie Sugden.

  5. The good news is that it's written by Derren Litten.

    The bad news is that they're tampering with a show that was perfect as it is.

    1. It couldn't possibly be as good as the original so why bother?

  6. I guess desparate times call for desparate measures... It is sad that they feel the need to fuck up a classic brit com...
    what next? PC versions of "on the busses" and "love thy neighbour"???
