1 9 9 2 – 1 9 9 3 (UK)
12 x 30 minute episodes
After ‘Young Mr Grace’ (owner of the Grace Brothers department store) dies in an unfortunate scuba-diving incident while on holiday in the Caribbean with his personal secretary, Miss Jessica Lovelock (Joanne Heywood), the staff at the store find their pension fund has been unwisely invested in Millstone Manor – a country manor house, currently operating as a hotel.
With no other options, Mr Humphries (John Inman), Mrs Slocombe (Mollie Sugden), Captain Peacock (Frank Thornton), Miss Brahms (Wendy Richard) and Mr Rumbold (Nicholas Smith) reluctantly team up and attempt to turn the hotel into a profitable business venture.
Featuring the original cast members from Are You Being Served? and comedy-writing legends David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd, Grace & Favour reunited the dysfunctional Grace Brothers sales team for more misadventures and innuendo-laden squabbling.
Several new characters were also added to the show: Joanne Heywood as Miss Lovelock, Billy Burden as farmer Maurice Moulterd, and Fleur Bennett as his daughter, Mavis, appeared in all 12 episodes.
Michael Bilton, as Mr Grace’s solicitor, Mr Thorpe, and his assistant, Miss Prescott, played by Shirley Cheriton, also appeared regularly.
The series was released in some overseas markets as Are You Being Served? Again!
