Grace & Favour

Old acquaintances, already noticeably aged characters of the series "Are You Being Served?" suddenly they become owners of a small business themselves - they run the affairs of a small hotel in an old country estate. However, they are also almost the entire staff of this hotel.

A very successful change of scenery with a completely new set of mini-plots. A rural hotel with its small farm is not only very far from the usual urban life for our heroes, which gives room for ridicule of the capital's ignoramuses, but also opens up a much wider range of opportunities for all sorts of funny situations and funny misadventures than a department store. A different location and several added characters have brought a wonderful freshness and novelty. The old characters continued to amuse the viewer perfectly, each in his own traditional manner, and some of them acquired new comic lines, witty and unexpected.

It was delivered, filmed and mounted as before - quite simply, at the same time, succinctly and richly. Once again, I am pleased with the magnificent texts with an abundance of indecent ambiguities and not particularly refined, but funny jokes. They play the same way, with deliberate exaggeration. It turned out to be just hilarious adventures of Londoners in the English countryside - an excellent continuation of the original series and an ideal support for those who were sad and sorry to immediately part with their favorite characters.

Language. They speak a lot, in a lively language, sometimes quite quickly. More or less legible, without particularly difficult accents, but with a lot of wordplay, including on homonyms. Subtitles, in my opinion, are necessary, and a good dictionary may be needed to fully understand all the jokes.

I liked some episodes so much that I decided to translate them. I finished the second season today. Both seasons are now available with Russian credits on the cinema. And without ads))
