Lol. You sure the writers of "Open All Night" dreamed them up as foreigner characters? I mean after all those visitng their store speak with an Australian accent often you now. A lot of Hungarians for awhile were often ending up as British instead too you know. Russians too. Like that one very successful Soviet scientist by the name of Otto Schmidt with a British enough sounding last name to pass as a Brit too. Didn't Otto have chidlren too? As a matter of fact there is now a whole lot of Brits with the last name Schmidt now who are so very western. Almost more western than the cowboys on westerns too you know. I wonder what all the Schmidts and the Smiths along with the Levys, the Levins, the Levines, the Levinsons, the Levitts, the Lewis the Lewin, and the Loewy - and that is only last names starting with the last name L with no place to lay down their head permanently you know unless it is a guy often outdoors who is not looking for women who are wanted only according to him.

That Welsh joke....ridiculously funny.

I was born in 1949, small town in the US. Have been captivated by 'older' British television. Good stuff!

Yes agree great television

I first saw a rerun in 1998. Even today whenever I am down I watch this series and voila in 30 minutes you feel at the top of the world

The scene around the table near the end was one of the most masterful pieces of comedy ever . The deliver and timing absolutely spot on . The sheer lenght of the clios shows how in tune the actors were with each other . How they never died laughing is beyound me .

Born in Boston in 1960 I'm aware of our past but I've always respected England, the manners, etiquette, speech, something about it feels very familiar, but I've never been there. Thank you for funny show.

What I was wondering, was if the man was Granville's dad, that would put Granville in his mid thirties. In the pilot, Granville, claims, he's twenty five. As the official first episode, went out, sometime, after that, maybe, that's correct, but an errand boy, in his thirties, only Roy Clarke, eh?
