Are You Being Served? was a long running British sitcom broadcast
from 1972 to 1985. It was set in the men's and women's department of
a large fictional London store called Grace Brothers. It was mainly
written by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, with contributions by
Michael Knowles and John Chapman. The idea for the show came from
Lloyd's brief stint working at Simpsons of Piccadilly in the early
1950s, a classy clothing store which traded for over 60 years until
1999. The episodes rarely left the store, and to parody the
stereotype of the rigid British class system, characters rarely
addressed each other by their given names, even after work. In 2004,
it came 20th in Britain's Best Sitcom.
