The stage version, by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft, finds the well known characters hard at work in the familiar surrounds of the Grace Brothers Department Store – dealing with malfunctioning lifts, demanding customers and helping to push German goods as part of a “common market sales week” (oh those innocent days).
But young Mr Grace the store owner has kindly arranged for all the staff to go on a weeks holiday to Spain (a one star hotel mind) and the finale finds Mrs Slocombe, Mr Humphries, Captain Peacock and all the rest of them dealing with some dodgy local plumbing and fighting off some very unlikely revolutionaries…..”I’m free!”
