This is one of the best are you being served dvd's. There are lots of laughs all through the discs. I really enjoyed watching served and bought served again for myself and one for my daughter, Even my mother who is 83 loves the characters. I have watched all the served originals and love served again as it is on the farm and entirely different area but the same fun. Definitely buy it if you wants good laughs.

This was the follow-up to ARE YOU BEING SERVED. Unfortunately, the BBC only gave it 2 seasons, and decided it wasn't getting the ratings they wanted. I think it is hilarious, a very funny, overlooked series that was almost as funny as the original show. For anyone who loves the original ARE YOU BEING SERVED, this is a must. If you aren't familiar with that show, this is still a VERY funny, light hearted comedy series, definately worth viewing many times.

We both really enjoy this series and a few other British Series. Before I wanted to buy these though, I just wanted to make sure that there was Closed Captioning available as it is easier to understand some of these series if there is, especially for the hard of hearing. I phoned amazon.ca this morning to find out and the person I talked to said he has both the "Are You Being Served and Are you Being Served Again!" series and he said that these DO HAVE CC available, so the hard of hearing need not worry! The same goes for the "Waiting For God" series which also has CC available.

This DVD movie was played on TV weekly episodes in Toronto, Canada a few years ago. I didn't see all the episodes, but I saw most. Its totally different than ARe y ou Being Served. The characters are mostly the same except for Fleur and her father played by Billy Burden, who I thought was very funny. The chracters from the show are living in a retirement farm with money invested by Young Mr. Grace. They get into trouble in various ways and its very funny. Its too bad the show didn't last longer. I might have bought this DVD but it says in description it has no sub titles, which I guess also means it has no close-captioning or hard of hearing text on the screen. Most DVD movies have subtitles now, so I just want to confirm that it doesn;t. Can anyone please tell me. I'll check back here. Thank you so much.

Loved this series even without the hierarchy of the GB's store.So great to see my favorite cast of characters in another setting which allowed for greater enjoyment.Lots of the same double entendre's the show is famous for and catch phrases each character is identified with.My favorite episode is when the mummified cat is found in the wall and the group takes it to a museum to be displayed.Mrs.Slocom tells a museum worker that she has a pussy of great antiquity and wants the curator to take a look at it. Hillarious.Buy it and enjoy if you loved the first series.The new characters are great, especially Mr.Molturd,and i am unanimous in that!

This show is a forgotten jem of Brittish Comedy. The show takes the orignal characters of Are You Being Served and sets them in a country setting. They have inheritted a manor owned by Mr. Grace after he dies and are forced to make money off of it. The show introduces some new characters, Mr and Miss Molturd and Ms. Locklock and none of the people who played the "junior" in the orignal series are there (no trever banister). I'm glad the BBC is finally making this product avaible for public purchase as hasn't been on TV for years.

The greatest shame is this show only had 12 episodes, partly due to Ms. Slocombe's actoress's illness. This show had alot of potential.

A wonderfuly funny series of the folk from Grace Brothers serving their retirement on a farm where Mr. Grace invested their retirment funds. Are You Being Served? Again! : The Complete Series

I was pleasantly surprised how good these episodes were
particularlly the second disc

The staff are given an old mansion
In leiu of there missing retirement fund
They decide to turn it into a hotel

New additions Fleur bennet (A fine actress)who's turn as the naive farm girl with a crush on the unlikely Mr.Humpheries is hysterical
Her father played by Billy Burden is a rough and ready and very amusing character

Wonderful sequel that was cut short in it's prime. It has been shown here in the states on PBS once or twice, but not with as heavy rotation as the original series. To correct another reviewer so slightly, I believe that Mr. Grace doesn't bequeath the staff an estate; if I recall correctly, this is the Grace Brothers Staff Home, and the staff are left to make a going concern (country inn) of it to eat in their retired years. Mr. Humphries may have still been a junior (even if not THE junior) at the end of the original series, and Ms. Brahms was a junior. Between her junior years and the sequel, she did a turn (for many years) as Pauline Fowler on "Eastenders", also a fine show. Mr. H and Miss B are both in the sequel as well as Mrs. Slocombe and Capt. Peacock. Mr. Molterd has to be one of the funniest characters I have ever seen. This one is even more hysterical than the original, I think.
