Are You Being Served? either as an aside, or often for comic effect (e.g. an underling addressing a superior). The joke is that lower class people, even when married, addressed each other as Mr. or Mrs. Middle and upper-class people on familiar terms always use given or nicknames. The use of titles is therefore a pretention to being posh or refined. "Are You Being Served?" was initially broadcast from 1973 to 1985. Each series had between four and nine episodes. Counting the pilot episode, all episodes and specials from the series, and the film, the show ran for sixty-nine episodes and ten series. In
