Are You Being Served

Are You Being Served? A comedy by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft.

The motley crew of the Grace Brothers department store prepare for a sale of German goods and then depart for a staff holiday in Spain. The visit to the tropics is eventful when they stay at a one star hotel and encounter Spanish service and desperate revolutionaries. They manage to survive their stay with everything intact but their modesty.

The Play

Grace Brothers' requires renovation. To compensate for time off work, Young Mr Grace sends the entire staff of the Men's and Women's Department on a two week holiday to the Costa Plonka in Spain. While there, they find themselves in the middle of a revolution, and among the essential holiday larks – trying the local cuisine, setting up camp and passing naughty notes to each other over the dinner table they must deal with being confined to their hotel during the uprising.
