VHS Movie Reviews of Are You Being Served? Giftset (Volumes 1-7 plus Best of)
Movie Review: Probably my favorite Brit Com
Summary: 5 Stars
This series ran and re-ran on public television interminably, and I always loved it. There must have been hundreds of episodes, and I think I saw each a couple of dozen times. I never tired of them. This set includes some of the best of them, and I guarantee that they will give great pleasure and endless laughs.
Anyone who loves British humor will love this series. If you have not seen them, I envy you because it is still in front of you.

Movie Review: No, not ALL the episodes...
Summary: 5 Stars
The earlier reviewer is confusing this DVD set with the video collection, which does only have three episodes per tape. As stated in the description, this set has 34 episodes of the 69 that were made. I know that the videotapes are a big improvement in picture quality over taping off television, so I would think that DVD quality pictures will be unbelievably clear.Movie Review: You've all done very well!
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you being served? is the best brit-com ever! I already have all the episodes on tape at home and I would suggest this giftset to everybody! I have never found a show this hilarious, one great joke follows another, the characters are amazing each in their own little way, I just can't imagine someone who wouldn't laugh watching these episodes! My friends all thought I was old-fashioned for loving this show so much, I asked them to watch it a couple of times with me and now they like it! Of course it's very british, and that's what I like about it. Here in Canada it plays everyday on tv, but for those of you who can't watch it, buy this set and you won't regret it!!Movie Review: Are You Being Served?
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone looking for 21 of the funniest episodes of this series will be very pleased. All of the shows you remember are here, including "Dear Sexy Knickers", "German Week" and "The Erotic Dreams of Mrs. Slocombe" plus many more that I'm sure true fans will cherish. I'm a huge Brit-com fan and I had to have this show in my collection. If you're a fan also please buy this set for your collection too. Someone mentioned in their review that the "Best of" video, which is included here, isn't as funny when scenes are viewed out of context but if you're familiar with the series, you'll completely remember each scene shown!Movie Review: DO NOT BUY THIS SET IF YOU THINK IT IS ALL
Summary: 1 Stars
Again, do not buy this box set if you think you will get all the "Served"'s. I love "Served" - I still watch the episodes when they come on TV! Some I have recorded and I watch them when I can; I still love the "ignamonious" and cat and "board room level" (look up) jokes (my son loves it when Mr. W.C. Humphries answers the phone in a deep voice by saying, "Men's ware." BUT, I don't have all the episodes, so I thought I would ask for this box set for my birthday, thinking I would complete my own collection. WRONG! Each video, 7 in the collection, only covers three episodes each. The eighth video covers more episodes but only in snippets. That's it! Bogus buy! Better for you to watch your PBS station and wait for the episodes to come on than to waste your money buying only a few episodes. Or better still, go to the DVD section and consider buying all the episodes at a larger price (if you loved the "Served's," it's worth the price).
