The "burnt" bread is just a type of Farmhouse Loaf. Often had a very dark top. Sort of thing you get from a proper bakers rather than that factory produced muck. You'll find no sugar in that bread either!

[@mlee6050]

I question how much is in factory bread since I use 4-6 medium slices for sandwiches for lunch

[@GrumpyOldGit-zk1kw]

In a similar way to David being older than the character he plays, as a kid I always thought it odd that Henry Winkler's Fonz in Happy Days hung around with Ron Howard et al. I thought that he was in his 30's rather than a couple of years older than the high school kids.

[@jamespasifull3424]

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding half a worm!! 😲

[@susanashcroft2674]

We never had firelighters, instead I used to make paper twists as a child from newspapers and with a little kindling wood my mum and nana's fires were set and roaring in no time. Loved it when Nurse Gladys lobbed those apples at Arkwright, not sure if she hit him in the Cox's Pippins with one!! 🍎🍏

[@PaulEcosse]

Yes, Firelighters. We all had coal fires in the 70s, none of this fancy electric stuff. I had to make kindling and fetch coal before getting ready for school in the morning.

[@andrewclayton4181]

We used fire lighters when we had coal fires. Oily white bricks that had been soaked in some inflammable liquid, you could smell them in the old ironmongers shops. Reginald Bosanquet was a well known news reader at ITN the commercial news channel. I did find a worm in an apple about two years ago. First time. A tiny white wiggly thing. It had got in at the top where the stalk was. The apple looked OK from the outside. It was a bit off putting. Great episode, I remember the Legs bit.

[@AndyLeMaitre]

Not a worm, it's a maggot and they're very common.

[@jonathanmorgan1882]

The only thing worse than finding a maggot in your apple is finding half a maggot.

thats not burnt bread thats an estabished crust

nice to see ur getting the views this series deserves

[@MorrisseysMonkey]

Ronnie, an absolute genius!

[@jimreid4367]

Ronnie Barker & David Jason loved working together , Open all Hours was their 3rd project together . Both were in Porridge and back in 1969 both were in a show called Hark at Barker . A couple of years later the show was renamed as His Lordship Entertains . But the one role i love David Jason in is a police drama called Frost were he plays Detective Inspector Jack Frost which ran for 18 years 1992-2010 . Even though his character was supposed to be serious there was always some great comedy sarcasm from him . Most people will probably say his best role was Del Boy in Only Fools & Horses but for me it was D.I.Frost in Frost .

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Hmmm

[@mikdavies5027]

@jimreid4367. Yes I agree with you on D I Frost. A great series and fairly true to life.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

The cooking apples on my old tree used to be full of maggots. They still made brilliant pies. The apple is not native to the US, so maybe you don't have the same flying insects that lay eggs in your apples.

[@direnova6284]

Also, Ronnie didn't "go on the stage" until he was in his 40's.

[@PHDarren]

Ronnie was only 11 years older than David, Lynda is 1 year older than David.

[@dav147]

Tony the lady that came in asking for firelighters was in an a very funny sketch with 'Mitchel and Webb' called 'Heroin Christmas' please give it a watch, amazing sketch!

[@TheRealSquirrel]

It’s on here in the Mitchell and Webb playlist 😉

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

Granvilles age is why they didn’t make more seasons of this show squirrel 🐿️ funny how now it’s all self serve ❤ I enjoy this show ✌🏼

[@mlee6050]

Shame that's why

Q. What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? A. Finding half a worm 😂😂

[@thenerdytiger9306]

I think granville(as in the character) is supposed to be around 20ish. Remember most actors play characters younger rhan themselves

[@hamilton9479]

Born in 1940, and first acting role in a TV soap opera in 1964. Would have been 36 when the first episode of this series was aired. I think the part called for an 'over-aged' errand boy!

[@helenwood8482]

Widow Twankey is a character in the pantomime of Aladdin.

[@alexcuthbertson9808]

Another fantastic episode Tony we over here look forward to seeing a new episode Monday or Tuesday it’s tradition now mate keep going till the end the brown bit of top of bread witch you can also get on morning rolls with it as well it comes under well fired bread & rolls

[@francislaverty9262]

You are right, 6 episodes per series except series 2 when there were 7 episodes. (Series 3 & 4 had 6 episodes too). Firelighters are fuel-laden wax blocks which are used to start a fire

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Ah Thank You

[@bobby666666]

​@@TheRealSquirrelA lot of people still had coal fires. We had a cola fire in the 60s. By this time we had gas fires. Coal fires were great. If it was pouring down, we would sit in front of the coal fire and dry out, get warm and watch the dancing of the magical flames. Not so great for the parents as the setting up and cleaning would take some time.

[@KeplersDream]

​@@bobby666666A _cola_ fire? Coke? 😉

[@bobby666666]

@@KeplersDream Yea, it when you pour out cola and hear it bubbling and fizzing 🤣🤣

[@245bennyboy]

Hi Tony Glad you enjoyed the Ronnie Barker David Jason links I sent. Between them those two are definitely in the top handful of the best English comedy actors. Plus they can both turn their talents to straight acting. Truly a couple of comedy genius's. Don't know if you know this but Ronnie used to write scripts under the pseudonym of Gerald Wiley to hide his famous side. Anyway keep up the good w-w-w-w-w-w-w-work😂

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Greatly appreciated. I’ll st-st-sti-stick to it!

widow twanky is from the pantomime of alladin

[@frozengamer3030]

Will you react to other British tv sitcoms

[@36814]

Burnt crust bread tastes fantastic .

[@rlosangeleskings]

Also Arkwright's stutter came from one of his old friends...

[@Aw-zc2lt]

Don't know if you've seen A Touch of Frost, but it's a contrasting role for David Jason but you can tell how much Ronnie Barker influenced him.

[@highpath4776]

David's comedy timing in Frost is noticable

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Touch of frost, hmmm I’ll make a note.

[@highpath4776]

@@TheRealSquirrel The Episode with the Sandwich sub plot is probably the best. (Filmed by Yorkshire TV Studios and a lot of outdoor bits are near where I used to ln the external bits of Leeds - though the setting is supposed to be somewhere in the Midlands. the last episode is emotionally touching and takes a surprise turn at the end). Overall a long watch, best get the box set !) And of course David Jason also played Blanko in Porridge with Barker. Everybody who says Jason started acting at age of 30 I think is wrong, he was much younger on a show aim more at kids Do Not Adjust Your Set - pre Monty Python 1967-1969 black and white with music by the Bonzo Do Dah Band. its all on YT

[@martindunstan8043]

Hey Squirrel 👍awesome mate,love your reaction to our(my)childhood classics,cheers buddy✌️🍻

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Loving this show.

[@helenwood8482]

The worm is a maggot, not an actual worm. They are more common where pesticides are not used.

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Ah. Yeah not come across those either. Pesticides makes sense.

[@sidrat2009]

Firelighters are just a really really long match to light the wood/coal fireplace. Some houses could have two of them if they had a separate room in the back off the kitchen.

[@cyrus2728]

lmao granvilles tik tok moments with the legs before cell phones.

[@TheRealSquirrel]

🤣🤣🤣 so true

[@victordevonshire807]

Worms, old days. Hygiene conscious these days. Couldn't get away with it now.

[@johnmichaelwhalen1648]

Tony, I'm 59 and I've never seen a worm in an Apple, but i have seen an 🐘 fly 😉

[@TheRealSquirrel]

I’ve seen a house fly too!

[@corringhamdepot4434]

I remember Firelighters. They were a fibre block soaked in an inflammable liquid. Which were supposed to be a substitute for wood kindling. When starting a coal fire. I don't think that they worked very well for my mother.

[@highpath4776]

was your mother dead though?

[@alanmon2690]

My grandparents had a farm with apples in the garden. No chemicals were used so care had to be take when eating apples ro check for fleshy proteins. On top of that lettuces frequently had caterpillars.

[@livestocknetwork320]

I know an Indian chef who decided to use apples in the base gravy. They came from the trees in the local train station, and they were absolutely horrible. Firelighters were strips of wood used for lighting the fire...

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Thank You sir. Hope you’re getting along well. No cows were harmed during this reaction.

[@Peter-i1l1k]

you used to put wind fall apples in salty water to drawl them out .
