Synopsis

The staff at Grace Brothers rarely actually sold anything, but there were always certainties about the much-loved 70s series: Mr Humphries was 'free', Mrs Slocombe was worried about her 'pussy' and Young Mr Grace would appear to declare 'You've all done very well'. Alongside Captain Peacock, Mr Grainger, Mr Rumbold, Mr Lucas and Miss Brahms they filled the store with comic bickering, preposterous sales ideas and almost any excuse for dressing up. One of the sauciest, campest and funniest sitcoms of the decade. This box set includes every episode from series 1-5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant entertainment, 12 Sep 2008
By beau nydle "labrat" (chertsey, surrey, uk) - See all my reviews
Comedy at it's best, the sort you can't get nowadays. It's not allowed. And if you thought that Wendy Richard was just the stodgy old bint in Eastenders, have a look at this . You'll get the shock of your life. The first episode in series one is in black and white, the rest in colour, which will give you an idea of the age of it. But it's lost nothing in the years between. In fact, it's far better than anything labelled as comedy in the last 5 years. One of the best things that will come up your garden path. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Flawless, Breath-taking trip down Memory Lane!, 12 Sep 2008
By I. Forshaw (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The sitcom to end all sitcoms is back in a fabulous box set taking us all back to the days when nobody got offended by anything anywhere on TV that nowadays would be considered `Politically In-Correct'.

You all know the synopsis by now so it's left up to me to say "Sod the politically correct crowed" and but this slice of 70's TV sitcom history because it's very funny and you won't find anything offensive in it in my opinion!

Mr & Mrs Politically Correct Censor - "Are You Free?"

Buy it - have a laugh, a proper one!

5.0 out of 5 stars laughter on sale, 5 Oct 2009
By Mrs. N. Loosemore - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had forgotten how funny this series was. Although some bits seem a bit dated now, and a lot of the in jokes i.e. Mrs Slocambes pussy are really not that funny, it is good to revisit a bygone era. There are still a lot of parts that will make you laugh out loud, and it certainly lifts your spirits. Shops like this store no longer exist, probably thankfully, but it is fun to revisit. If you need cheering up then this is the series for you, though it is an advantage if you already are a fan!!
