Are You Being Served? (TV Series)

Founder's Day (1977)

Trevor Bannister: Mr. Lucas

Quotes 

• Mr. Lucas : Nevertheless, five days later you were employed by Grace Brothers, and only Mr. Grace knows the reason for that change of mind. Well, it was because of someone who was very dear to you, probably the greatest friend you ever had. And you know who that was?

  Mr. Humphries : Oh no, it couldn't be him; they'd never give him a day off from Lillywhites.

  Mr. Lucas : No? Well, then let's have a look at this picture and let it remind you.

  [a picture of Mrs. Humphries is shown] 

  Miss Brahms : [loudly]  Who's he?

• Mr. Lucas : I believe Captain Peacock has an amusing anecdote.

  Captain Peacock : Oh yes, indeed I have, yes. I will recall one cruel January morning, I'd just missed my bus, and I was standing there blowing into my gloves to bring the circulation back to my hands when a large Rolls Royce drew up beside me. The door opened, and there sat young Mr. Grace, beckoning to me. Forfeiting my place in the queue, I went across to him. "Don't worry," he said. "There'll be another one along in a minute." And with a cheery wave, he slammed the door and drove off. That's how I shall always remember Mr. Grace: never too busy to stop and give a word of hope and encouragement.
