As mentioned by others my Grandad wore a suit and tie every day back when Britain was Great

[@coldwhite4240]

26:10 Sadly, Lynda Baron's appointment with one of those big black vehicles came shortly after 5 March 2022 when she died aged 82. David Jason is the only original main actor from the first series still alive, but Stephanie Cole (the grim Mrs Featherstone) and Barbara Flynn (the milk woman Granville has the hots for) from later series are still alive.

[@glenmartin7978]

They have made a series set years later when Ronnie Barker's Albert Arkwright character has passed on and David Jason's Granville has inherited the shop and is in his old age called Still Open All Hours

[@nick7076]

That generation always wore shirt and tie. My grandad wore a tie even in the nursing home till the end

[@coldwhite4240]

Exactly! That generation were brought up to always 'dress up' - both sexes. The men would wear full collar and tie, the women full length dresses, or blouse and skirt. No slopping around in jogging bottoms, trainers or tracksuits! They were the last ones to wear hats routinely too. I don't mean beanies and baseball caps and the kind of sloppy headgear of today, but proper trilbies, fedoras and the like!

[@johnhutton5079]

Worked with older joiners / carpenters all wore shirt and tie and flat caps. Didn't know half them were bald until summer arrived

[@livestocknetwork320]

I first saw this programme on Beh-be-beh-beh BBC2...

[@trevmacc]

my grandad always wore a suite ,it was normal in the 60s and 70s

[@karengray662]

4 minutes in. Dad is 90, doesn’t wear a tie often, but always fastens top button on his shirt before going out & wears his “Sports Jacket”. My grandad always wore a shirt & tie, even at the beach! It’s just what was expected at that time.

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

He he this good and as I remember it gets much funnier too 🤣😂🐿️✌🏼

[@simonrobbins8357]

People always dressed like that. I’ve seen photos from the 50s with people on the beach in a suit😂

[@Ingens_Scherz]

My God, I'd forgotten how much I loved this when I was little. The whole family - parents, brothers, sister, used to watch gathered around our first colour TV every week without fail, fire roaring and cups of hot chocolate in hand. My parents would roar with laughter at jokes with references that went straight over our heads - most of them, in other words! - but we'd all laugh anyway. And the slapstick stuff was something we all enjoyed, of course. I remember that we had to wait quite a few years between series though. I guess Ronnie B and David Jason were very busy with their other stuff back then. I began to get the bluer gags at about 11 years old (around series 3). Playgrounds are arenas of learning ;) What a treat this is.

[@douglasthompson296]

All gentle comedy, no swearing, nothing obscene, something all ages could watch together

[@corringhamdepot4434]

Looked up Streetview and the Unisex Hair Boutique shop that was dressed up to be Arkwright's store, was still there in 2022. Which is really quite remarkable.

[@ManxAndy]

Hey Squirrel….so glad you are following on with Open all hours, the more you watch, the more you get drawn in….probably one of our most loved programmes ever in the U.K…👍👌🇮🇲😉

[@PaulEcosse]

Everyone wore suits in the 70s. Kipper Ties & Flares were the order of the day. Before my time of course but my older brothers wore a shirt & tie at home.

[@martylawrance]

The little blue Mini Van towards the end, I had one identical to that in 1976, cost £100. The same car goes for thousands on Ebay now.

[@TheGiff7]

The phrase ‘open all hours’ doesn’t meant 24/7. It just highlights that a shop is is open from early doors right through to late at night. Similar to the 7/11 shops in the U.S. As for shirt and tie that generation wore suites all the time. My grandfather wore a suite into his nineties. My father into his eighties. He would have a smart suit and a casual suit.

[@bobby666666]

Your correct on the age of 35. Shown February 76 and David Jason was 36 on the 02/02/1976. Probably filmed late 75.

[@philjones45]

Never saw my Taid (grandad) without a shirt and tie, even when I stayed with them, I'd get up, and there he'd be in his shirt and tie.

[@crocsmart5115]

My Taid would be in his gardening trousers,shirt,tie and waistcoat. (He would take the waistcoat off on sunny days but never the tie). His gardening shoes were brogues too! 😂. Miss him.

[@geoffpriestley7310]

My grandad always wore shirt tie and waist coat just to watch tv

[@kingstumble]

My dad was a factory worker so never had to wear a suit and tie for work. But after he retired he would always go out smartly dressed even to go to the local shop.

[@ColinGames974]

just one of my fav comedy shows along with Porridge, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Dads Army

[@davidfenn4444]

Just a nice gentle comedy.

[@Shoomer1988]

Who knew Arkwright invented Dogging?

[@Rocky19577]

If you listened he said he's on his way to a war memorial. Gotta travel i suppose, dressed for respect. Sometimes you gotta read between the lines.

[@ihadadreamlastnight]

these two actors have appeared in other famous uk comedy series david jason in ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES while ronnie barker appeared in PORRIDGE both well worth taking a look at another long running series worth checking out is LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE i would say as you clearly enjoy OPEN ALL HOURS these will tickle you too

[@johnthezetetic]

Nice to see you react to this, I remember it back in the day. Have you ever come across 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet'? It's probably my favourite British comedy, defintely worth a look if you have time.

[@ellesee7079]

My grandad was retired. He always wore a shirt, tie, waistcoat, trousers, jacket, and when he went out wore an overcoat, homburg hat and spatz! I remember having to get changed into my Sunday best as a child to go to the doctors. Different times Squirrel, different times. 🤗

[@yzolakitchi]

Agree! I have cine film of my grandfather mowing the lawn in a full suit with waistcoat whilst smoking a pipe! He then goes on to play badminton with his brother, in similar attire :-)

[@susanashcroft2674]

Even going into town to the market , men would wear their shirt and tie or suit and the women wore a skirt and blouse, twin set or dress. I remember my nana and great Aunts at home in their crossover aprons, curlers and hairnets but come market day or a bus ride to the town for their 'provisions' they would be dressed up and hair neatly styled. As you say ellesee different times.

[@Naylte]

You know the dynamic in the Star Wars prequels about a master training an apprentice? That's essentially the picture we get when Barker and Jason are on screen together.

[@alexcuthbertson9808]

Thank you Tony for keeping this going weekly I told you your viewers would like it love it & come back for more & shop opens 0600-2100hrs the guy dressed like that is a old man thing my dad gave up work & he was up early 0530 washed dressed shirt & tie up to shops for milk bread etc etc maybe it’s an old British thing generation thing as well

[@user-er6fs3pw7q]

Top comedy, police squad series also amusing

[@stephendisraeli1143]

Ah, those little red licenses without photo. I've still got mine, never got around to updating it.

[@wesleyrodgers886]

Reckitt IS still available. 😊

[@user-ns2qf9xw3p]

rising damp is worth wachting to

[@SelinaBarton-ij5iz]

For some reason your comment had translate to English under it. So I tapped it and it translated it as "rising steam is worth waiting for".

[@rachelsirett8809]

I remember it first time around I am a 72 born baby

[@highpath4776]

Lovely BBC Set Dressing - the shop interior changed over time. Upside Down Wm Youngers Tartan Bitter mega barrell, and all the heinz soups turned sideways - so the full name could not be seen

[@tallthinkev]

Mk 1 Transit van, start at £6500+ now

[@martindunstan8043]

Brilliant mate cheers✌️

[@paultheretrogamer]

David Jason is in his late 80s now but not sure how old he was there I know its around 1980

[@The-Underbaker]

As others have said, my grandad always wore trousers, a shirt and tie when he was out of the house. It's just a generational thing. It's actually quite unfortunate that more people don't put some effort into their appearance these days as i've seen things that would put your "People of Walmart" to shame!

[@Rocky19577]

Excellent Squirral. What happened to Gimme Gimme Gimme?

[@rachelsirett8809]

Because that was that generation

[@stevehartley7504]

Milk round depends on size and start on any day. Most started at 5am

[@jamespasifull3424]

My cousin Steve's started in the late 60's! 🤣 He retired a few years ago, after serving the same round his whole working life!! 😲

[@scottwebb1978]

Love the show...

[@retrorambles517]

Hopefully you can react to 1 a week 😊

[@Howiehamster]

Hello, my friend how’s it going? It’s Howie hamster.have you seen the fork handle sketch

[@craigireland5629]

He has 138 Two Ronnies' sketches on a playlist!

[@peterbrown1012]

The actors have to be oaid more if they speak.
