Episode 85 - “The Mongolians” Are You Being Served Again / Grace & Favour That Does Suit Madame, The "Are You Being Served?" Podcast

We’re supporting Gladys in the Bell Ringers Association Union local #DING and their strike.
Beryl, our switchboard operator, let a very confused voicemail get through to the podcast.
Americans: don’t forget to vote in the Mid-term elections!
A fabulous scene of Miss. Lovelock driving the carriage with Humphries in his red riding gear.
“Walkies” jogs our memory to a classic AYBS episode.
Peacock tries to encourage Lovelock’s fascination with his history… without luck. “It’s not quite the same thing, is it?”
We learn “punka wallas”.
Slocombe and Brahams can still pull the guys!
We meet Malcom-Heathcliff again in the path and threatens Humphries again.
Who won 3rd place in the Miss. Lovely Legs contest in Tiverton? One guess…
“Of you’ll find some rough lads waiting for you”. Humphries looks right into the camera to contemplate.
Mongolians booked a tour at the Manor but the currency has fallen drastically!
Cheap, weird jokes made about Mongolians.
The staff have to create a “cultural event” for their guests (Just like in the “Mr. Slocombe” episode!).
Slocombe once served Vanessa Redgrave!
Ferrets in trousers?
Humphries shows off some childhood photos.
We get a great “jug ears” thanks to Wendy Richard.
A weird hierarchy joke against Molturd from Brahams.
Molturd will arrange for local villagers to audition for the talent show.
Kiri Te Kanawa is the famous New Zealand opera singer that Slocombe wouldn’t remember.
Mavis is encouraging Humphries to have a scrap with Malcom-Healthcliff.
Mrs Cleghampton (again) tries out for employment and fails (with her adapted cello).
Her g-string broke!
Tiddles cries; glass breaks. But she played at the Proms!
Mr. Jeff explains the cultural mistakes during the Mongolians’ concert.
The Mongolian language is not a tonal language yet the actors mostly speak Mandarin Chinese.
The gong is played. Mongolians stand and bow, over and over.
The “sooo…” joke from “The Hand of Fate” episode is recycled but the asian character gets a zing in the end.
Molturd battles a donkey and loses.
Sir Gay Humphries! Joanne Heywood knows how to dance ballet on point!
A suspicious red codpiece.
And a patriotic “Britannia” makes an appearance.
We think this episode missed several points b/c of sloppy jokes about Mongolians but this shows its age (yet we still love it!).
