Are You Being Served? (also known as Are You Being Served in Australia?) is an Australian remake of the popular UK sitcom of the same name.

Unique for an international remake, John Inman reprises his role as Mr. Humphries from the original series. The premise being that Young Mr. Grace sent Humphries to Australia's Bone Brothers as Mr. Grace and Mr. Bone are cousins. Despite this, every episode (except one) are direct remakes of episodes from the original series with similar characters.

The series has never aired outside Australia and isn't available in home media. However, fans have been able to see the series via bootlegs available on YouTube with the sole exception of Season 1, Episode 3 ("Mrs. Crawford, Senior Person") as it's currently believed to be lost.
