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

Reminds me of days past of cold, misty early mornings with the milkman outside Times that will never return, sadly

This episode marks guest appearance of John Challis as Bread Man, who later went on to play Boycie on Only Fools and Horses, which of course starred David Jason.

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!! 👍

I’m in awe on the quality of writing, pathos and humour.

Amazing - Boycie AND Vera Duckworth in the same episode!

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!!

I live in ohio and classic British comedy is great, are you being served, this show and many more

Great writing by Roy Clarke but the real magic was the Barker/Jason/Baron gel. Great stuff!

Absolute classic this show I could watch these all over and over again

They don’t make programs like this it’s such a shame

You can’t beat pickled onions cheese and bread. The best lunch! 😋

Look at young boycie as the bread man. I love del boy. The best show there ever was.

I think I have watched each episode a thousand times. I can't sleep without them running in the background and it can sometimes take me a couple of hours to fall asleep.

21:22 I forgot about this guy. A very accurate depiction of someone who tries to subdue their own urges while it shines trough same time he goes around judging others. 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.

Sounds awesome! By my childhood in the mid 70's to mid 80's things were only sold in packets

When food was local&fresh

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. 💞🍃💐

That’s the fight bell, it means seconds out and let’s get some money in the blue corner

At the beginning that sounds / looks like Vera of Jack and Vera ... then Nora Batty!

@unitedkingdom8111

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.

While I liked Mrs. Featherstone alot, they should have kept Mrs. Blewett as well.

Ronnie Barker was a great comic actor, Fletch in Porridge was one of the great comic characters. Arkright on the other gand was a thoroughly unpleasant bully, miser and hypocrite.

Brilliant modern comedy. And finally, Ghosts (they’ve done 2 series so far, with a third announced. You’re going to love this one!)
