UK Comedy, 1973-85, Broadcast on BBC1
Welcome To Grace Brothers! The staff of this very outdated department store has given people around the world a good belly for almost 35 years! The series was writtein by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, who already had a string of successful comedies to their credit. The inspired cast gave 100% to every episode and it showed. The main cast included:
Mollie Sugden - Mrs Slocombe
Frank Thornton - Captain Stephen Peacock RASC (Ex)
John Inman - Mr Humphries
Wendy Richard - Miss Brahms
Nicholas Smith - Mr Cuthbert Rumbold
Harold Bennett - Young Mr Grace
Harold Waller - Old Mr Grace
Trevor Bannister - Mr Lucas
Mike Berry - Mr Spooner
Arthur Brough - Mr Grainger
Arthur English - Mr Harmen
Larry Martyn - Mr Mash
Having worked in retail for many years, I can tell you, the characters from Grace Brothers have universal appeal, because each one works at every store in the world! The humor is suggestive, but not nasty, and some of the situations and one liners will having you roaring with laughter. I highly recommend this show, it will do your heart good!

This was a great show, saw all the episodes first time around in England, and many times since on PBS having moved to the USA. Too many times maybe - I fail to see how PBS can air the same show every night for at least the 13 years I have been over here without people having enough! You can spoil a good thing.
