Press
Are You Being Served? was usually spoken of in the same breezy breath as Donald McGill, the saucy postcard man. How easy it is to imagine them all on a staff outing to a seaside, wearing bathing drawers of antique cut. Except, of course, Mr Rumbold's secretary, who was always built on the lines of a roller-coaster and with very much the same effect on the heart.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 2nd April 1985
