Open All Hours
Season One, Episode Five - 19 Mar. 1976
Arkwright goes with Nurse Gladys to the funeral of his friend Parsloe. He's not keen to leave Granville in charge but it does afford the opportunity to get rid of some unwanted bakery products for the wake. Having rung the shop constantly to ensure that Granville has got things under control he later tells him he should get out more - as this will give Arkwright more opportunity with Nurse Gladys.

The chapel scene with Gladys and Arkwright is a triumph of non-verbal comedy - just perfect!

Then you'll also love "Porridge" and "Going Straight" - Ronnie Barker was a comic genius!! 30yrs later,I'd watch these shows on DVD with my 4yo old son. Though he couldn't understand complex dialogue, he understood the situation by their interactions and expressions. He always squealed with delight, laughing on cue!! THAT is the acid test of Ronnies' comic genius: it's sheer timelessness!! 👍

Ronnie gave us so much laughter and joy: moments when for a short time we could all forget our troubles and revel in his comic genius!! Today, with the crop of reformed drug-addicts and alcoholic "personalities" all being handed out knighoods - purely for surviving their addictions!! - I consider it a national shame that Ronnie Barker was not awarded the knighthood he so richly earned!! Just think, even a gang-land murderer has been awarded an OBE!! How disgusting!!

Reminds me of what Fat Tony said in Simpsons when they were watching Itchy and Scratchy. It's funny because it's true. Also that last scene with Arkwright made me burst in laughter. Priceless expression.

I was only 3 when this first came out so I have no memory of it ever showing on tv but watching it now for it accidentally appeared on my screen p. Maybe because I’m hooked on watching British productions. I’d like to say that I liked it for it’s easygoing but that isn’t the case anymore since I realized it was young Inspector Frost I’m watching. 😃 Amazing how simple he looked back then only to gracefully grow older and show more interesting character and handsomeness! Lovely David Jason. 💞🍃💐

Does the side street to the shop (15:40) look like the intro of coronation street back in the early 70s? When the corrie name came on when the intro tune finished

@unitedkingdom8111 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it does a bit. Most towns in the UK looked similar then. Especially the residential streets. Corrie is set in Manchester and this was was filmed in Balby, Doncaster. The exterior shots were filmed in Lister Avenue. Arkwright's shop is still there too, although it was always a hairdressers.

Bread Last of the Summer Wine (the longest running sitcom ever I believe) Father Ted Red Dwarf Dinnerladies Steptoe and Son Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em My Family Keeping Up Appearances (as already suggested above) The Vicar of Dibley The Thin Blue Line By no means an exhaustive list, many more I could name, but these are some of the BEST!

Like the previous poster, my list is really long and I could name more. But for now, here are some of my favourites, How about: Dear John UK (make sure it’s the UK version) Just Good Friends, Citizen Smith, The Piglet Files, Lucky Feller, A Sharp Intake Of Breath, The Green Green Grass (you have to watch Only Fools And Horses before this one), (One that’s really expensive, but good), First Of The Summer Wine, Hark At Barker, Only When I Laugh, Clarance, The Top Secret Life Of Edgar Brings, Watching, And 2 more modern ones you might like: Yonderland (the dvd of the first series is really really expensive so maybe wait until you’ve got a bit of money, series 2, 3, and the Christmas special (only available separately) are relatively cheap). Brilliant modern comedy. And finally, Ghosts (they’ve done 2 series so far, with a third announced. You’re going to love this one!)
