Have You Been Served?

The film that has mixed reviews came out in 1977 midway through the main series. It is not considered to be as good as the series is as a whole but it still manages to get the audience laughing. The film starts off in the store just like any other episode, except that this time the staff of Grace Brothers are preparing for the store to close temporarily for remodelling. It turns out that the ladies and gents departments are going to the Costa Plonka  for their holiday and for the first time things seem as if they might go their way. The location is lovely, the hotel even better and the store is paying for it. What could possibly go wrong?

​

Once they get to the hotel, it is quite obvious that a lot can go wrong. After a mix up with the rooms they end up having to sleep in tents for their vacation. Add in the fact that the hotel is at the centre of a revolutionary battle, the dream holiday doesn't turn out the way they had hoped.
