More com than sit

Article Abstract:

There are a number of possible explanations for the continued popularity of the situation comedy 'Are You Being Served?,' which was originally shown in the early 1970s and is now being broadcast again on BBC1. Actor John Inman, who plays the camp second assistant Mr Humphreys, believes that the show is popular simply because viewers have been given very little real fun and entertainment for a long time. He feels that modern situation comedies are extremely bland, whereas 'Are You Being Served?' contains honest vulgarity.
