@@dr.samuelnathanphd5273 I always liked Mr. Granger's ONE single joke in the entire series... It was when they were practicing singing for Mrs. Slocombe's 50th (really not 50th) birthday... They were trying to figure out how many er's to put in the song as a placeholder for her full name... Mr. Granger thought it should be two... er er... because "two err is human".... literally the only punchline he had the entire series and the cast deadpan ignored it.

@@nthingtoofear this is a situation where the joke is for the audience. The staff of the Men’s and Women’s department at Grace Brothers heard a dumb, off handed joke. To them it was just a silly little line for an old suit salesman to laugh at his own wit. For the audience half of the joke is the fact that the rest of the cast did not laugh at it. It was funny because it wasn’t funny to the others. Humor is much more complex than drama. (PLEASE don’t think I am being sarcastic. I realize it could be taken this way.)

I read that Trevor Bannister is actually older than John Inman. He left the show to go back to the stage. After this show ended five of the original actors/characters appeared in "Are You Being Served Again", where they have retired to a country manor they have collectively inherited from Grace Brothers. Both Trevor Banister and Frank Thornton later joined the cast of "Last of the Summer Wine". John Inman went on to do a show of his own with Vivian Johnson who played young Mr. Grace's nurse and Josephine Twesome as his half sister. Josephine also has to her credit, the nervous neighbor to Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet), in "Keeping Up Appearances" and the lonely Librarian in "Last of the Summer Wine".

I can't remember the fourth one but it was must watch television for those two hours. This brings back a lot of memories.
