The food cabinet in the kitchen of this series is the same as my mother had in her kitchen…fabulous …no fitted kitchens in those days…and I loved it. I had never seen a dish washer.and our stove had a grill for toasting ….How I wish we could bring back this kind of comedy……No dirty language….What a mess we have become…..

Something about this show.. it’s the atmosphere.. the crisp mornings, serene nights, simplicity, music and nature of people and their voices.. the whole bundle is warm and cozy .. home-like.. I can’t resist the idea of watching each episode .. endlessly….

I know exactly what you mean Hana. Of course the characters are exaggerated for comic effect but the atmosphere and vibe of the time feels real. I was last in England in the mid 90's and experienced a more modern Britain but it was still very British. Hopefully it's still like that now, 30 years later.

I suffer from the exact same gripping Nostalgia😊. Stick the transistor Radio on, and the whistle kettle on the stove, make a pot o tea, and a couple of crumpets, with marmite, and put another shovel of coal on, and cozy up round the kitchen table, with it's plastic gingham Tablecloth. It's so British. I miss bread and dripping, and hot roasted Carlins, and Piccalilli on freshed boiled ham, and slices of fresh white crust that were still warm and melted the butter. And me Nannas mint imperials, 💚

My grandparents lived in the back of a grocery store they ran in New Orleans in the '50's thru the '70s. I enjoyed helping them with the stocking and even ran the register on occasion. I miss those days, as well as my grandparents.

According to the producers the till was slammed shut by 2 guys pulling on a string. Ronnie B had to be on his toes to ensure he left every evening for home with the same number of digits as he started the day. Wouldnt be allowed today.

These stores used to be everywhere supplying the public with everything they needed for the weekly shop and were run by friendly shopkeepers who would give credit to loyal customers and have a chat about the weather and stuff marvellous times of a bygone era

Watching Open all hours is like putting on your favourite slippers and sitting in front of an open fire. Pure comfort and nostalgia the antidote for the horrors we face today.

just below the surface of hilarious comedy is a deep contemplation. There are the mundane things we do everyday and while we try to deal ,with them we dream...time passes. Granville and Arkwrght are trapped in the greedy little store conniving for pennies, conniving for love.

They provided a much healthier and happier social environment for kids families and especially the elderly than supermarkets and raitail parks do.

Eternally fond of this beautiful series. And not simply - I always maintain to my wife - because of the late and great Lynda Barron and the gorgeous Barbara Flynn. The latter of whom I'd be forever happy to watch for hours, reading a telephone directory.
