Mrs. Dawlish visits the shop - Still Open All Hours: Episode 4 Preview - BBC

[@anthonylilly6862]

I love you BBC from America thank you so much for all these wonderful programs, including my favorite last of the Summer wine

[@Stickleback]

This is great comedy tv, i watched alot of the original series, great to see some of the original cast in the newer modern series, little moments that reflect on the legendary shopkeeper Mr Arkwright, its all classic!

[@jamesmcnulty7393]

Open all hours and porridge are the best British comedies ever

[@iii291]

Porridge is the best

Uhhhhhh…”Only Fools and Horses”!

They went in the wrong direction with this one .

Mrs Dawlish comes from a particular Devon town where the railway runs along the seafront.

At 18 i am a young fan of 'Still Open All Hours', all my friends watch it as well, we all think it is hilarious, so funny.

[@mus139]

watch the original..its much better.

[@blueskysailing]

I agree. The newer version is much better. 😉

[@jer123cre8]

i would loved it if they use the trapdoor in the shop it would be great to see it being used again

[@alexisnewell3672]

Love you Sir David i could watch you aaallll day What a 🌟and a talent 😊🏆🌹❤💕 June 26th

[@roxybailey6302]

unbelievable they cant write better for David Jason.

[@davidsmith-ih2kk]

I have to say Sir David, apart from being a loveable and brilliant actor, will never be typecast. He is just so different in everything he does from Only Fools and Horses, Frost, The Darling Buds of May. The list is endless, but he is just brilliant in all his work. Well deserving of his knighthood. A brilliant loveable, wonderful actor.

[@beatricewoods8377]

Watch it every day I see items I'd buy in his store ..

DREADFULL BEYOND WORDS

[@plentyofbollocks1893]

Shameless cash grab by the BEEB

[@walkernick86]

Not really. More of a tribute to Ronnie I think. Yes, this was never gonna be as good as the original, but not a bad effort I don't think. My main issue is they tried too hard for laughs and it got silly. Dressing Gastric in a spaceman suit for example. It started to get a bit like Mrs Browns Boys, with the antics! They should have kept the comedy more subtle. Roy Clarke the writer is in his 90s now. Probably a bit past his prime when it comes to writing now sadly. It was all a nice sentiment though. :-)

[@tashaimpressions]

Classic comedy. Arkwright rip, I do an impression of him on my channel.

[@misterhayleyface]

So Granville has become Arkright. How original of them.

[@OldManBill1]

They Had Create Somewhere Along Those Lines. If He Acted The Opposite Than Arkwright It Wouldn’t Be The Same

[@walkernick86]

Not really. He doesn't have a stutter for a start. but After working with someone for years, then you have to fill their shoes, you would become a bit like them anyway.

[@timrob87]

1) Granville was raised up & trained by Arkwright his entire life, so it only makes sense for him to end up running the business in the same way, & 2) the original series was wonderful, but people are just being defensively nostalgic in judging this series.

[@OldManBill1]

@@walkernick86 Exactly. He did Mock Arkwright’s stutter throughout the shows first 2 series, but then stopped. He acted a lot like Arkwright at the start, but as the series have been going on, he’s just done own he’s thing

[@dwaugh2215]

if he was going soft on his costumers Arkwright would be spinning in his grave... or in his case, the till.

[@littleballof_crazy9834]

It is funny but it still isn't the same without Ronnie B.

[@johnrider5701]

Doesn't work without Ronnie barker and Even David Jason can't salvage the weak script and tired jokes. It should have been left as a nice TV memory .

[@danw1374]

I agree. This comes across as contrived unlike the brilliant original show.

[@dingopisscreek]

They can't leave them alone. Why do a sequel at all?

[@CoExist64]

Saw the entire series, was a good show.

[@argonaut6386]

Totally agree. Granville was his own person and they've morphed him into a carbon copy of his uncle...it's just not realistic.

[@wezlo8733]

True but Jason probably knew that but wanted to do it anyway just in memory of Ronnie himself and because it’s where it all started for him.

[@kiaorakiwiz]

David is no where near to Ronnie Barker (Mr Arkwright) .... Totally sad, missing his humour and jokes..... 🥰🤣💯💞

[@claudiojunior9618]

Granville eventually inherited the shop from its uncle.

[@michelinevanderstraeten2722]

still all open all hours altijd graag naar gekeken zal het missen nu BBC entertainment er mee stopt ?

[@WoolHead2]

They will still show still open all hours on gold

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Great went back becsme owner funny

[@PeterUK-Maratime]

Full credit to David for giving it a good go but you can't remake something from years ago..... Sorry. Mistake made there

[@irishcountryman4866]

Still open all hours has come to an end after 6 seasons. I did watch it the first time it came out years ago and it didn't really seem to work for me. Yes, it was nice of the idea to see what Granville would look like and wonder if he did take over the shop but the humour came across as very fake and Granville was just another copy of Arkwright. I think it has possibly ruined the legacy of Open all hours but had they kept Granville to his original character it may have worked out better. Something's are better left to the people's imagination.

[@phononut]

This is sad

[@peterbravestrong]

This is pathetic.

[@JaniceWright-rv9oj]

I think they did fine with out Ronnie Barker. I like " Granville" Better than Ronnie

[@blueskysailing]

Yes!! 😉

[@only257]

Lol😜😈👻😊😍

[@blueskysailing]

I like 'Still Open All Hours' better. Ronnie Barkers stuttering gets annoying. Did he really stutter or was it just acting? 😟

[@royfr8136]

Jokes about class? Are they still doing that in the U.K?

[@BNCA70]

I enjoyed the idea of this 'sequel' series but I'm afraid after a few episodes I gave up. The canned laughter was bloody awful. With titters and chuckles being put in when there wasn't a scrap of humour in the line being delivered. It became cringeworthy. Sorry Sir David but the sound enginner who laid the canned laughter audio over the recording should've been shot.

[@BobBarnes2005]

It was a live audience for the first three series

[@morrisjvan]

This show makes me sad, Granville never escaped the job he hated , and never fulfilled his dreams.

[@ssamuel5570]

And he never got a new Till either😒

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

Load of crap with a 1:22 clip......waste of time,,,

[@frankcabanski9409]

This was painfully unfunny.

[@BevvyIsTheBest]

This show is so boring, and those fake laughs do my head in

[@dingopisscreek]

Only watched bits of this. Not a patch on the original. Without Ronnie Barker it could never be as good. An unnecessary sequel. Very few films/TV programmes are as good as the original.

[@thunder2077]

rubbish not even funny compared to the ronnie barker ones

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Open All Hours was a masterpiece. This new series is absolute dog shit.

[@terryjohns3252]

not funny

Yet you actually took the time and effort to comment two words. You already admitted you wasted your time just watching; you wasted MORE of your time commenting.

Give that script to Ronnie Barker and he lifts it to a different level. David Jason is just not up to it

[@CoExist64]

Riiigghhttt, which is why he’s Sir David Jason! Don’t expect him to be Ronnie, just enjoy him being himself. It’s a great show

[@devilsforkdigital1490]

Can't believe this sort of 1970s rubbish still gets made.
