Christopher Biggins hits out at Are You Being Served remake

Christopher Biggins has hit out at the "terrible" remake of ‘Are You Being Served?’.
The sitcom – which originally starred the likes of Mollie Sugden, Trevor Bannister, John Inman and Wendy Richard – made a brief return for a one-off episode in 2016, but the ‘Porridge’ star was less than impressed.
He said: "I’m very anti remakes. ‘Are You Being Served?’ was just terrible."
Christopher – best known for his role of Lukewarm in ‘Porridge’, which also returned for one episode in 2016 and was later recommissioned for a full series in 2017 – has also hit out at the TV industry, insisting people in charge "have no ideas".
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column as saying: "The thing about TV, we’re being governed by a lot of people who have no ideas."
But Biggins isn’t the only actor to have been left unconvinced by the ‘Are You Being Served?’ remake, which starred the likes of John Challis, Jorgie Porter and Sherrie Hewson.
Joanna Lumley wasn’t a huge fan either and following the one-off episode, she said: "I can remember so vividly the people from the old ‘Are You Being Served?’. I’m slightly divided.
"You do think, ‘Maybe you should move on a bit?’ But maybe it entertains the young."
Mike Berry, who played Mr Bert Spooner between series eight and 10 of the original show, previously admitted he was "disappointed" he wasn’t cast in the remake.
He said: "I’m interested to see it, but I’m disappointed they didn’t ask me to be in it.
"I really fancy Arthur English’s old role of Mr Harman, though Arthur Smith is brilliant casting for him … as long as he gets the dialogue…"
