Grace & Favour trivia
In the very last episode, Wendy Richards's dog, who is called Shirley Brahms, makes a cameo appearance.
Writers Lloyd and Croft were unhappy with the BBC's insistence on calling the series Grave & Favour, rather than their preferred Are You Being Served? Again!, under which it was broadcast in the US. Noting the show's popularity overseas, they claimed the alternative title inherited the substantial audience of AYBS?.
