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.
Re-makes make me cringe if I'm familiar with the original.
ReplyDeletePolitical correctness and tokenism make me cringe.

ReplyDeleteYou're not familiar with Mrs Slocombe's pussy ?

ReplyDeleteThis could have been so good.
Sx
No, just No.
DeleteNot if I can fecking help it. That's what they call in showbiz a bleedin' travesty.x
ReplyDeleteIt's sacrilegious. That Sherrie Hewson must be a vain cow if she thinks she could take the place of Mollie Sugden.
DeleteThe good news is that it's written by Derren Litten.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news is that they're tampering with a show that was perfect as it is.
It couldn't possibly be as good as the original so why bother?
DeleteDid you see series 8 of Benidorm, it was absolutely shit a travesty?
DeleteHear, hear Mr Peenee.
ReplyDeleteI 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"???
