Are You Being Served? (TV Series) Shoulder to Shoulder (1975) User Reviews

Feuding fun at Grace Brothers

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 28 August 2016]

The decorators are in, and the men are first to benefit, much to the annoyance of the ladies. The situation means that both teams must share a single counter, seemingly only Captain Peacock can add a degree of calm between the two feuding departments.

It's full of smutty underwear jokes and double entendres. If bawdy humour is what you like, then you will love this, you can't possibly watch this and not chuckle. Once again it's a case of the ladies tackling sexual inequality, but once again they win the day.

Series three is very strong and this is one of the funniest, the show seemed to go in a very differently direction from here on in 8/10.

While I disagree with the previous reviewer that the 3rd series of the show was overly strong (I found it to be patchy in terms of quality episode to episode, with the characters not yet totally developed) this episode is certainly up there with the best of it.

It's fun to see the two departments sharing space, and there's some lovely moments along the way, with the honeymooning couple bit being my favourite.

Good fun overall.
