Out of the original cast, most of the actors reprised their roles for the new series. Mike Berry, who played Mr Spooner, chose not to return, but other cast members saw the chance for another television series as lucrative.

Mollie Sugden, who played Mrs Slocombe, had finished up an unsuccessful attempt at her own television programme, Come Back, Mrs Noah. Wendy Richard, already successful as Pauline Fowler on EastEnders, wished to gain publicity by starring in two programmes simultaneously, and agreed to play Miss Brahms once more. Also returning to their roles were John Inman, who played the effeminately "high camp" Mr Humphries, Frank Thornton, who played the floorwalker Captain Peacock, and Nicholas Smith as the former head of departments Cuthbert Rumbold.
