Are You Being Served?

By Henrietta Knight

This is the first shot of the BBC’s remake of Are You Being Served? with a glimpse of the new cast.

Brush up your pussy jokes for the new Mrs Slocombe played by Benidorm’s Sherrie Hewson in her trademark purple beehive wig.

Only Fools And Horses’ John Challis (Boycie!) revives the role of Captain Peacock, Gavin & Stacey’s Matthew Horne is Mr Grace, Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter is Miss Croft, Jason Watkins is Mr Humphries and Corrie’s Roy Barraclough is Mr Grainger.

The much-loved legendary sitcom about the Grace Brothers’ department store was first aired in 1972 and ran until 1985. The original starred Trevor Bannister and Molly Sugden.

The remake, written by Darren Litten, will be screened in September as part of a BBC season celebrating 60 years of comedy.

Other classics being revived for the occasion include Steptoe and Son, Porridge, Goodnight Sweetheart and a prequel to Keeping Up Appearances called Young Hyacinth.

Will it be as funny as the original? You decide.
