Saw it at the theater when it came out 83-84? Thats when theaters were small. I haven't seen it since and the only scene I remember was the exploding Pinto.

Even young Mr. Grace is gone? Are you Being Served? is one of those British sitcoms that saw heavy rotation on PBS here in the United States and it was rerun for years. I watched it in the early 1990s and I'm pretty sure I've seen almost every episode at one point or another.
