Are You Being Served? (1972)

1 corrected entry in season 3

(5 votes)

New Look - S3-E8

Corrected entry: When Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries come in and see the water fountain, Mr. Lucas asks whose idea it was. Mr. Rumbold comes in and asks what they think about his idea of having a fountain in the department. When Mr. Grainger arrives and sees the fountain, he asks whose idea it was and is told it was Capt. Peacocks'.

Correction: Mr. Rumbold tends to takes credit for everything his staff thinks of or does, so here he doubtless was bragging about one of Cpt. Peacock's ideas.

German Week - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: When Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas make their toast with the German mugs, Mr. Lucas' mug breaks but Mr. Humphries' does not. A moment later, when Mr. Humphries notices the mug has not broken, you can see that he crushes the mug with his hand.

The Apartment - S7-E3

Question: If Mrs. Slocombe had squatters in her new flat, why didn't she simply call the police and have them removed?

Answer: That wasn't possible in 1972. Until recently squatting was a civil offence in the UK, not a criminal one, and removing squatters was a complex and time consuming business.
