AYBS Titles Used Elsewhere

[Agent4711]

Let's see how many AYBS titles are used in titles of other series, movies, etc. For instance, "Big Brother" is also a TV series, and "The Apartment" is a movie starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine. Lemme hear it from you--see if you can come up with a few more!

Isn't there a britcom now or recently called "The Hero" ?

"Roots" was the worlds most succssesful miniseries, "His and Hers" was a 1997 comedy movie starring Liev Schreiber, and "Think Tank" was a 2006 comedy movie.

"Christmas Crackers" was used elsewhere but for the life of me I can't remember where it was.

[Eva]

There was a 1962 animated short-film called Christmas Cracker, and a Corrie doco called Corination Street's Christmas Crackers

There's an episode of Frasier entitled "Are You Being Served"

There was also an episode of Birds of A Feather called Are You Being Served? (along with episodes such as Porridge and Keeping Up Apperances)

Thanks. Yeah, I had nothing else to do, so I took some time to do this.
