American Reacts to Open All Hours Season 2 Episode 1 - Laundry Blues

[@pipbaxter5286]

Mate..I love your reactions the most. They are genuine and heartfelt. Great laughing along with you at this classic Brit humour.

[@adammclennan5213]

Here in the Mancave 13/11/2022. Enjoying a little binge watch. My wife and I went through this series a number of years ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks for helping me watch it for the first time again by proxy!

[@bxkid7]

Thanks for watching! Have a lovely Sunday!

[@jackjohnstone1683]

Open All Hours is really underrated compared to many other British sitcoms from the 1970s. There is definitely something really cosy and warm about it, I think it's the Northern Yorkshire setting! Something about 1970s-1980s Yorkshire that just seems really warm and fuzzy! OFAH had a very busy London setting, which worked incredibly well, but this show, along with The Good Life, Last Of The Summer Wine and Rising Damp, are the shows I prefer to watch around about Christmas, me and my dad never fail to enjoy our Christmas evening laughing away to Uncle Arkwright's classic business cons, and poor Granville's lack of women and freedom! Never fails to be f-f-f-f-FUNNY!!! Can't wait for more of these! 😀😀😀😀

[@keithjones6023]

Rising Damp has always been one of my favourites. One of the best ITV sitcoms along with a couple of others, Duty Free and George and Mildred were funny. BBC had some great sitcoms with Fawlty Towers, Only Fools, Steptoe and Son etc. However there was one BBC sitcom l hated, Are You Being Served, that bloody woman going on about her pussy!

[@revbenf6870]

I have seen many episodes of OAH, but watching it again from your viewpoint, just realising again what comedy greatness is all about!!Thanks!

[@BLUEsurf63]

One of my all time favourite lines, Nurse Gladys "I'm just feeding my mother", Arkright "to something big and hungry i hope" brilliant writing...glad you like this very british sit com..

[@markdavidson9100]

Despite the division of labour in the shop, it’s always Granville’s fault when things go wrong, and Arkwrights fortune when it’s great. Fantastic reaction…incidentally, the vat man was in the only fools and horses episode ‘cash and curry’. Nick stringer who was Neville played Jumbo in ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ episode, David Jason must enjoy these reunions. Happy belated birthday 🎂 dude

[@kennyb3885]

“That brush has only had 3 new heads and 4 new handles” you’ll be hearing that a bit later in another show.

[@slowerthinker]

Wow I didn't know that that joke was made here before that other more famous character in British culture made it his own. (although obvioiusly the "Ship of Theseus" predates Arkwright by a couple of millenia). I've never replaced a broom handle before. They last pretty much forever.

[@drsardonicus2491]

It's great to see you're enthusiasm for the show, fantastic reaction

[@bxkid7]

Thanks fam!

[@annemariefenttiman7131]

The VAT man was in Only fools in horses "Cash and Curry" as Mr Ram and Neville was the poor sod who brought the car and also Jumbo Mills in a couple of episodes. Love how all the characters worked together in different shows.

[@carolthomas6334]

I was only born in 1978, but £225 for a washing machine seems a lot for then. I pay that now lol. No wonder he resisted. Another great episode 👍

[@worthalook4870]

Watched this series many times on tv growing up in the 90’s and then have the DVDs till this day. Always a great watch.

[@chrisduncan7954]

The VAT man was in the 2nd episode of the 1st series of Only Fools. He played Mr Ram who conned Del out of the Indian statue

[@Sara_Kane]

"We used to say, if you're going to 'ave a gardner, she's the one to have all right." God that line! 😂 Ronnie B's delivery makes it all the more hilarious. :) Love your descriptions of the clapped out washer and dryer as an "Airplane and a helicopter". hehe Even though I've watched these episodes many times over the years, viewing your reactions to them is like watching them anew again.

[@tanisdevelopment]

Glad to see "Neville" didn't buy a crappy car from David Jason, or offer him a job in Australia!

[@chrishewitt5621]

i knew I'd seen him before.

[@MrNifts]

I think the Indian guy was in OFAH as well, COn man

[@tanisdevelopment]

@@MrNifts That's right! In Cash and Curry. Was he bearded in that? (Edit: Yes he was. He had a goatee. That's why he looks different here.)

[@RltchieI]

Amazing how many miss Arkwright calling the VAT man Mr O’Riley then Mr O’Connor despite the fact he is of Asian descent. The actor would also star as Mr. Ram in Only Fools & Horses that same year along side David Jason.

[@books.reviews.pelhamhardim9758]

Washing-machine man - in 2 episodes of OFAH. Del's mate who went to Australia, and the Aussie who bought the clapped out Ford Cortina.

[@KotRFFXIV]

Just wrote this, tried to figure it out last night at like 2am but couldn't think who it was.

[@PHDarren]

Neville the wasjing machine sales guy, was the Australian in two episodes of OFAH, the car buyer in episode 2 and Del's old friend who offered him the partnership in Australia.

[@PHDarren]

Milkman, you wait for the milk lady in the next episode. Recurring character too.

[@brianmcneill1972]

the milk lady - HOTTIE!

[@Kazza_8240]

Is that a spoiler I smell? 🙄

[@martingregory9881]

Years ago you were never ment to give the VAT man anywhere to comfortable to work but this is a whole new level LOL.

[@kts5081]

Love watching these favourites with your fresh eyes 🤣

[@Kazza_8240]

I remember my mum had a top loading washer dryer thing when I was a wee girl, and she also had a pair of tongs for getting washing out of hot water like Granville had, good episode & reaction Kid 💛

[@JungleTunes94]

The Vat man was also in Only Fools as Mr Ram who conned Delboy into spending 2 grand on the statue

[@j0hnf_uk]

The series is really getting into the swing of things, now. There's many reoccurring themes that are developed over this and the next few episodes. Well, the rest of the series, actually. It tries to give a little bit of insight and history behind some of the characters, but never really reveals anything as it's mostly stated in a jocular manner, so you never really know whether it's true or not. Not that it matters. It's all done for laughs. Nurse Gladys Emmanuelle is a very strong, forthright woman who always takes pity on Granville in her own inimitable way. Much to the ire of Arkwright. Onwards and upwards!

[@jakehansome1718]

Good reaction kid especially with Granville and the nurse. We could all use a bit of that now and then lol

[@bxkid7]

I need a lot more nurse time hahaha

[@susanashcroft2674]

Just love your enthusiasm and reactions to this show. By the way Granville was just keeping abreast of the situation for his uncle. Well that was his excuse I guess!

[@bxkid7]

Thank you so much susan

[@kevinchester0533]

Such a brilliant episode.

[@The.Conqueeftador]

Yeah the washing machine guy was in only fools and horses playing the aussie with the wig jumbo Mills, who offered del that business deal in Australia. Ep: who wants to be a millionaire He also played another aussie in ofah in one of the earlier episodes when he brought a dodgy car of delboy

[@roosterb78]

Good episode. Knew that scene with head shoved in nurses chest would be ur favourite lol

[@bxkid7]

It was a great scene

[@mervinmannas7671]

Granville become aqainted with that bosem a lot in future episodes and one time creates one of my favorites lines ever. I wont spoil it though. In the follow up series Still Open All Hours. Dithering Mavis and Granville become quite a naughty pair as she has since ditched the husband.

[@jimmycampbell3597]

Absolutely love watching porridge with you. All your reactions are awesome. Peace and love and good vibes my man ✌️

[@bxkid7]

Thanks jimmy much obliged!

[@GenialHarryGrout]

The car parts shop that Granville was looking in was my regular shop for parts. Mavis becomes a regular customer and she is also a regular in the remake "Still Open All Hours"

I don’t think I have ever seen that tbh. In fact didn’t know they did one. I will have a watch. The woman who plays her sister Madge. I’ve seen her in something before too but can’t place where
