Takes me right back to my birthplace and early years in Yorkshire. Miss those days, people and places! My Dad loved this show. So did I.

The more I watch this show...the more I am liking it

Brilliant comedic actor Ronnie.

That's disgusting!! It needs to be aired first! Priceless!

Ronnie Barker was a genius

7:40 absolutely brilliant 👏🏻 😂 then the following scene with Arkwright reading the paper and chatting with Granville - packed full of superb laughs - excellently written and more hoots per minute than an entire sitcom episode now!

Reminds me watching this as a child and if I sat there very quietly mum and dad didn't notice it was neally 9 o'clock.I could stay up longer.

Sadly missed truly a different world 😢

I remember seeing this on PBS in NYC when I was a kid (along with Fawlty Towers & Dr Who. Thank goodness for public telly!). I was convinced that Ronnie Barker actually had a stutter until I saw him years later in The Two Ronnies. I was amazed that he could fake it so well

Hi from down Under Australia 🦘. I used to call my children's father DOGS BODY, not to his face of course but behind his back. I grew up watching this show. Brilliant acting !!

7:35 ..."with you goosing me occasionally"... haha, Nurse Gladys is great.

i have the dvd box set, saves me bringing it out :)

I only just started watching this lately it is so funny

Brilliant and hilarious.

7:00 "You're a Big Bonnie Lass, you know. If we don't get engaged soon, I won't have time to explore all of you, will I?" SMOOTH... 😂😂😂

Arkwright: "Unless he was talking about that place down the road from Gamorah" Freddie: "Soddem" Arkwright:"Exactly thats what I say" Cracks me up every time the brilliance of the writing hahaha

You Can Tell When Arkright goes to the nurses house that its a back drop in the back ground When she answers the door! It Looks Like a painting!? 🤔🤔

This is relevant today in 2024, when aged 70

The old bloke Freddie was in coronation st

That customer character wearing the suit and tie and checked shirt for sure thought that would make him look more suitable of a suitor to whom Awkright had described to another customer during that episode as being a cheeky little Minks. Which Mattress On Wheels called a van could have maybe rescued the character being referred to as "This angry little figure appears clad all in off white; wrapping its cycle clips, moaning in an awful voice - why don't we get a van? What a fantastic episode that would have been after Nurse Gladys's white car finally got replaced for dates by a vehicle which could have doubled as an ambulance to rescue that figure when its moaning was clear evidence it had been injured. PErhaps the customer character who was not offended when Awkright described her as a cheeky minks may have been too careful when it comes to coveting someone's servant would not have minded seeing that kind of double.

Stupid question. It’s about Arkwright. Let’s say if he spent more time away from the shop, more time to look at other places, would he be as attracted to Nurse Gladys? I wonder if his attraction to her is slightly clouded by proximity. Just a thought. In all honesty, the show was more philosophical than it let on. About love, life, knowledge, the basic human connection. Even if it isn’t the funniest show in the history of all man (still quite funny), the random musings of life from the show are enough to come back to. Interesting.
