Are You Being Served? is an Australian sitcom that is based on the British sitcom of the same name; it was produced by Network Ten. A total of 16 episodes were produced in two series, which aired in 1980 and 1981. The draw-card was the presence of actor John Inman reprising his role of Mr. Humphries from the original series. The other characters were all directly based on the regular characters in the show's original British version, but were all given new names, hence there were no other returning original actors.
In comparison to the original series, Inman described this version of the series as "tighter - there's less padding". For the opening theme, Inman himself performed vocals.
