Are You Being Served? Again!

Things That Go Bump In the Night (1x5)

Air date: Feb 07, 1992

In the afternoon after the gang's ordeals with their different chores, Mr. Rumbold announces that some Americans are coming to stay at the hotel the next day. Secondly, there is a photographer coming in the evening to have the staff's picture taken. The problem with both these situations is, that they have no staff, since Mr. Rumbold "accidentally" fired them earlier during the week. As they look at the picture of the staff on an old brochure, they find out that they themselves resemble the old staff and eventually, after some discussion, decide to play the staff when the picture is taken and possibly also when the Americans arrive. After some initial trouble, the photographer can finally take the picture. However, at the next moment Miss Lovelock walks in and points out that she has stayed in many hotels and is capable of telling whether they'll meet the standard of hotel staff or not. She makes quite a few rearrangements as to who will play which part. In the evening, there's a thunderstorm raging and all electricity goes. When Mrs. Slocombe's cat goes missing, they all wander around in the dark, trying to find it, while it seems that the legend of the ghost, who is said to wander about during such stormy nights, is more than a legend, when several of them are frightened by it.
