Are You Being Served? Season 2 Episode 2 Cold Comfort

In "Are You Being Served?" season 2 episode 2, titled "Cold Comfort," the staff at Grace Brothers department store are feeling the effects of a harsh winter. With the store's heating system broken, the employees must try to stay warm during their workday. Mr. Grainger takes it upon himself to try to fix the heating system, but his efforts only lead to chaos and confusion.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lucas is tasked with selling a large number of blankets, but struggles to make any sales due to the unseasonably warm weather. He attempts to create a fake snowstorm using talcum powder, but the plan ultimately fails and he's left with a mess to clean up.

Mrs. Slocombe, on the other hand, is convinced that the store's cold temperatures are wreaking havoc on her health and demands a hot toddy from her colleagues. Her request sets off a chain reaction, with each employee trying to outdo one another with their own preferred hot beverage.

As the day goes on, tensions mount as the staff grows increasingly frustrated with the cold conditions and lack of progress in fixing the heating system. The situation reaches a boiling point when Captain Peacock declares that he's had enough and threatens to call the union.

In typical "Are You Being Served?" fashion, the episode is filled with witty banter, hilarious mishaps, and larger-than-life personalities. "Cold Comfort" is a standout episode in the show's second season, perfectly capturing the absurdity and charm that made "Are You Being Served?" a beloved classic.
