If Ronnie Hazlehurst ain't better than Bernard Herrmann then he's the closest one

Ronnie's exotic reworking of his Are You Being Served? theme for the show's big screen trip to Costa Plonka sounds like the movie should have been a Paul Raymond softcore flick where Captain Peacock finally gave Miss Brahms the Wonka (™Giggs). As to the inevitable question of who'd sound good spittin' over it, DOOM & Mr. Fantastik could have worked minor-miracles with a track like this for another back-and-forth on the King Geedorah album.

Ronnie Hazlehurst - Are You Being Served? (movie version)
(From Are You Being Served?: The Movie; 1977)


Can't believe Candy Davis AKA her who played Miss Belfridge in the last 2 series of Are You Being Served? later married Gary Olsen AKA the fat bloke with glasses from 2.4 Children. R.I.P big Gaz - you must have had one helluva "personality" to wife up some crumpet so far outta your league.

There's not much to say other than "OMG CJ killed Dirty Den in Eastenders?"

It's okay to murder tramps.

It's a lot funkier than Rising Damp's movie theme:

Doing Time gotta be the only big screen spin-off which didn't suck.

Need that beat with Geto Boy's 'Let A Ho Be A Ho' raps over the top.
