Everyone has heard of Mrs Slocombe and Mr Humphries - whose saucy adventures working at the department store Grace Brothers kept television audiences laughing in the saucy 1970s sit com Are You Being Served?

Mrs Slocombe's 'pussy' and Mr Humphries falsetto catch phrase 'I'm free' were the icing on the cake of a barrage of double meanings and saucy innuendos that followed every week.

The show is still regularly seen on stations specialising in vintage comedy.

But although its original cast is sadly long gone the characters they played live on.

Now Colnbrook Amateur Stage Theatre (CAST) - the popular drama group based at Colnbrook Village Hall since 1991 - is to perform the stage version of Are You Being Served as their summer production.

The group welcomes new members. So everyone is invited to attend auditions.

There will be a read through of the script at the hall in Vicarage Way, Colnbrook on Thursday, April 4 at 8pm to which all are welcomed.

Open auditions will follow on Monday, April 8 at 8.30pm and Thursday, April 11 at 8pm.

Director Ian Ward said: "I am hoping for as many people both old and new to hopefully come and read through the script and give me a tough job at auditions."

For fans of the TV show wondering what the familiar characters get up to in the stage version, they are all off on holiday to Spain where inevitably things go disastrously wrong. But before that a sale of German goods at Grace Brothers creates hilarious chaos.

The show will run from Wednesday, July 3 and Saturday, July 6.
