Come to these classic when I’m down or anxiety is playing up always calms me down hubby just leaves me alone always laughing xxx
Loving these old shows. Watching from the states. What an amazing sound coming from the store's bike..Hahahaa!! Even using the sound of my cellphone it makes my dog's ears perk up.😂
Still open all hours is nothing compared to this, the old ones are the best 😂
Just the intro music alone simply reminds me of better times! What's happened to the world?

Granville wasn’t the only one who had a thing for that milk lady back in the day.
It’s funny how after all these years the episodes are still funny Even when I’ve seen them countless times Ronnie Barker and David Jason what a wonderful combination both greats partnership Both greats of British comedy

Daid Jason dropping his milk bottles in the short dress scene...Brilliant!
Arkwright is a brilliant Scrooge of a character, but that squeaky bike had me laughing lol, no words needed, just genius comedy This show always takes me back to my childhood, makes me feel warm and cosy
Every Saturday Night I watch these... Stephanie Cole, all these character actors; are precious to me...
Classic comedy from the 70s that ran into the 80s. Pure genius is Barkers character acting as the stuttering penny pinching Arkwright, while his long suffering put upon nephew Granville played to perfection by the brilliant David Jason. Great writing, superb acting makes Open all Hours one of Britain's greatest and funniest ever comedies.

The best comedy of the 80s
the same guy who needs directions to Abercorn St, visits Ronnie Barker on Going Straight for a hotel room. Him singing "If I can help somebody..." is such icing. he really knows how to keep a gag going through every second of a scene.
Anyone remember the episode when Granville was on his bike at the lights, he thought he was looking at the guy driving a van, the the driver sits up & drives off, and there was the guy on a bike too. Then he chases Granville.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading these wonderful episodes of a classic series. I miss Arkwright and Granville and a certain state-sponsored medical person. "Granville, fetch your cloth".
That bicycle deserved a series of its own.

David Jason as Del Boy or Granville just fantastic the comedic value. The difference as Jack Frost he’s very intimidating and scary the way a serious drama makes him come across. Shows the depth of his acting

LOL. I had one of those shop bikes in 1975-1976 steel front panier included. I also had to change the wheel bearings and the brake blocks needed changing every 100 miles. It weighed a ton and I used to roll down Harnham Hill into Salisbury, Wiltshire every day on the paper round barely needing to pedal. Even with new brake blocks it had a stopping distance of around 80 yards. Great training for anticipating other road users' intentions! On the way back up the gradient necessitated a 30 yard walk and push over the steepest ground. On Sundays, with the extra papers and supplements it was a 130 yard push. £7 for that bike from a second hand shop in 1975. I learned to ride a bike backwards on it too - a skill I still have 45 years later.

Funny, in Open All Hours, there is a 1 year difference between Grandville (1940) and Mrs. Featherstone (1941) in the show she acts like she is much older then Grandville and does like the younger people to touch her food. Yet in the new show Still Open All Hours she has a very hot crush on poor Grandville.
