Are You Being Served?
I came across this hilarious episode of AYBS? on you tube the other day and wanted to share it. If it is a repeat on this thread, I apologize. I am not sure how to upload links directly so I hope this works.

It's approximately a 10 minute segment in the kilted part is in the middle. The gist of it is Mr. Rumbolt (sp?) is having his brother trace Mr. Grace's lineage for a 90th birthday party for Mr. Grace. For those of you who have seen the show you will know who I am talking about. For the others...sorry.

Anyway, I got a kick out of it and hope this link works.

If not, just go to you tube and in the search box type in AYBS? - Roots 3/3. Hope you get to see it and enjoy it as much as I did. Cheers.

I enjoyed that series. They ran on the local PBS station a while back. They may still be running them as far as I know.

I remember that episode. They kept changing their minds about where he was from and trying on the national dress of different countries. I've forgotten where his family ended up being from.

It certainly was a surprise ending.

Yes, I loved that series! I got to meet Mr. Humphreys (the one who did the Sword Dance) here in the NYC area, when he came on a fundraising campaign for the local PBS station which played the show.

I could only guess how far back they went to inspire the Grand Finale!
