I love Mrs Slocombe, her one liners are great.
*On a rather cold morning*

Those wild hair colors she sported for that show were actually the for real style for middle aged and senior woman in the UK back in the 70's. It wasn't made up soley for comic relief.

HOOKED ON
Mrs. Slocombe......I got so hooked on "Are you being served" and "Keeping up appearances" on sunday nights on PBS for a time, I kept on running late for work. I just could not stand to turn on the recorder and then go lay down....I HAD TO WATCH. LOL.

I had a teacher from Birmingham who always referred to her as "that Slocombe woman." Its good stuff.
Loves me some Vicor! Anything French and Saunders does is just brilliant!
AYBS, however, I can do with out. A little too slapstick and predictable for me.

Mrs Slocombe's "pussy" is too shocking for US
Don't know if this is old news, but really can't people find more important things to complain about.

Yes, old news - July, 2004. But a comment about it appears
here:
--------------
Well, this all seemed a bit, er, fishy to us, given the years we've spent asking "Are you free?" in front of our all-too-American televisions. A little digging revealed the source of this "scoop": a July 13 Christian Science Monitor article about, yes, potential editing of British programs on certain PBS affiliates. Nowhere does it mention AYBS, Mrs. Slocombe, or the aforementioned pussy. And this PBS "exec"-cum-"spokesman" Doug Myrland? He's the station manager at the San Diego public TV station.
His actual quote in the CSM, regarding the Brit-coms shown on his affiliate:
"They thrive on double entendre, and we're saying, 'Do we have to do something with those?' " Mr. Myrland asks. "We're worried that we're maybe on thin ice.' "
Not as thin, perhaps, as the editorial walls between Rupert Murdoch's English newspapers.

Appears The SUN and the London Times have a problem with
facts just like FOX.

...Mrs. Slocombe...
They had been running AYBS? for several years on the St. Louis PBS station; I got a kick out of Mrs. Slocombe's ever-changin hair color...and I know a few Yanks who would be mates with Hyacinth and Richard on "Keeping Up Appearances." "The Vicar of Dibley" never really caught on locally, although Dawn French was great fun and I loved the message at the start of the closing credits:
"Bless You for Watching."

Oh If You Want Offensive
You have to see "Father Ted".
Mrs. Slocombe:
For the first few color episodes her hair was dyed those strange colours, but when she would go from the set to collect her twin boys at school, it caused quite a stir. Also the dyes were hard to get out/change and took a toll on Miss. Sugden's hair, sow they switched to wigs.
VoD is great, and typical UK "village/shire" farce. You have the local vicar, the local squire, assorted farmers and the town bike, though she is bit long in the tooth to pull now. *LOL* Gotta love Alice Tinker and Hugo. Pair of them are so thick they could support a bridge.
