Being served again is a delightful follow up!
Like good aged wine, it just gets better!

Almost as good as the original series
Upon the death of Young Mr. Grace, the staff find themselves out of work as Grace Brothers Department Store is closed down. The staff are faced with retirement, or to keep active by running a rural English hotel.
Also known as "Grace and Favor" this follow-up series to the hilarious original still holds it's own. Trevor Bannister is missing from AYBSA, he was one of my favorite characters from AYBS. The rest of the staff are here, looking older after the seven years that had passed between series.
Of the new characters introduced in AYBSA, the best by far is Maurice Moulterd, played to perfection by Billy Burden. He and his daughter Mavis (Fleur Bennett)are the only members of the former staff that remain. Burden provides a lot of the best comic moments here.
The rest of the staff are pretty much like they were in the original series. Mrs. Slocombe and her pussy(cat), Mr. Humphires is still as "gay" as ever (despite Mavis's attraction to him), Captain Peacock falls for a much younger woman(Joanne Heywood)and Mr. Rumbolt is as always not getting the respect he seeks as manager.
This 2-disc package is well worth the purchase. I would recommend to any British comedy fan.

Better than ever
I thought "Are you being Served" series was good, but the sequel is even better. British comedy at it's best. Moving the setting to a hotel in the country gave a lot of different scenes with the great British humor. Anyone who liked "Are you being Served" can't miss this one.

Are we missing something here?
The comedy show of "are you being served" has shown the true wit of comedy without being "trashy". The spin off - "are you being served? again"
definately has not lost the unique true art of comedy. A comedy show/program does not have to contain language that would make a "Lady of the night" blush.
I would recommend this program to a"any age" audience, par none. Great job. Git er done!
