- Open All Hours
Season Two, Episode Seven - 5 Apr. 1981
To the envy of Granville who has never attended one,Arkwright is taking Nurse Gladys to a wedding and has taken his old suit out of moth-balls, but it still reeks of camphor. Nurse Gladys makes him hang it out of the car window as they drive along but the trousers end up under a tractor's wheels. Thank goodness Nurse Gladys is wearing a trouser suit.

“You have no right to having a slash on that window”. Priceless 😊
That Welsh joke....ridiculously funny.
I first saw a rerun in 1998. Even today whenever I am down I watch this series and voila in 30 minutes you feel at the top of the world
The scene around the table near the end was one of the most masterful pieces of comedy ever . The deliver and timing absolutely spot on . The sheer lenght of the clios shows how in tune the actors were with each other . How they never died laughing is beyound me .
I was born in 1949, small town in the US. Have been captivated by 'older' British television. Good stuff!
Rebecca Birkheimer Me too
Yes agree great television
The wonderful Nurse Gladys - Linda Barron
Born in Boston in 1960 I'm aware of our past but I've always respected England, the manners, etiquette, speech, something about it feels very familiar, but I've never been there. Thank you for funny show.
Born in New Zealand in 1978. I get the same feeling. It's almost as if our ancestors are from there or something.. 😁
@@TheTruthKiwi maybe they are. Probably ‘unwanted’ people exiled to the colonies
@@arbjful Yeah, my great, great, great grandfather stole a loaf of bread.
Just joking, My great grandparents moved here in the early 1900's.
We got a father in the shop....er a customer in the shop🤣🤣🤣
Nothing funnier than the British making fun of foreigners :)
Lol. You sure the writers of "Open All Night" dreamed them up as foreigner characters? I mean after all those visitng their store speak with an Australian accent often you now. A lot of Hungarians for awhile were often ending up as British instead too you know. Russians too. Like that one very successful Soviet scientist by the name of Otto Schmidt with a British enough sounding last name to pass as a Brit too. Didn't Otto have chidlren too? As a matter of fact there is now a whole lot of Brits with the last name Schmidt now who are so very western. Almost more western than the cowboys on westerns too you know. I wonder what all the Schmidts and the Smiths along with the Levys, the Levins, the Levines, the Levinsons, the Levitts, the Lewis the Lewin, and the Loewy - and that is only last names starting with the last name L with no place to lay down their head permanently you know unless it is a guy often outdoors who is not looking for women who are wanted only according to him.
As a foreigner I also find it funny. Mind you because of Tories I have had plenty of laughs at the expence of British... But then people here in Finland elected an even dumber government. Haven't been able to afford to laugh at the British after that. Heck because of our government many people can't afford a lot of things any more.
"You're next Mrs Parslow!"
I fell out of me chair laughing XD
I fell out of my window. Third floor. It was well funny.
@@joedent3323😅
Such a wonderful show. Simple, yet pleasant.
Like a piece of butterscotch ☺️
dont you mean the weather 12 cast hats 4 4
17:42 Happy St Albert's Day.
15:35, "it's cold in here", and leaves the door open!!😂
Stage sets get pretty chilly 😊
* 'sneaky foreign devil'... always cracks me up 😂

Happy St Albert's Day everyone!
Same to you pal 🤣
Take your coat off and give me your hand! 😅
OH YEAH ,we know how to laugh, and make fun of ourselves,as well Brilliant 😁
one of my most favorite comedy, ronnie barker and david jason were simply so funny...love the way nurse gladys speaks....
Mscrey e😅
As an older gentleman I just adore nurse Gladys Emanuel .
I don’t mean to sound unpatriotic, but I think British comedies are better than American comedies!
Been s.s.saying that for years
@@alexanderlewisreed2343 i a a a gree!
As a Brit that is certainly what we call a compliment! 😁👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Caitlin Brooks growing up I couldn’t wait for Sunday evening 10pm-11pm. Our PBS (public broadcasting station) played britcoms. To the Manor Born will forever be a sentimental favorite. It was already “old” when I first got to watch it didn’t matter to me.
Absolutely, very true and always makes me in stitches 😂
Arkwright is one for the books! What a comedian! I love this show and the second part on now- 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
13.55 Describing Harrods, what poetry lol.
Totally love this comedy!😆😆😆
Ronnie Barker was truly excellent, as was David Jason! Brilliant performance
shame his son turned out to be a convicted Paedophile.

The second season was filmed in 1981 and of the Hungarian nobility visited in 1949 that'd make Granville about 32 years old.
What a blast! 🥰
Your turn Mrs paslowe!!
British old is golder.
r i p Lynda Baron .
One of the best
"he's liable to a little bit of insanity if his head gets cold" Hey, that's how I feel! LOL?
"There was even a time we convinced the Germans that we won the war".. Laugh My Asimov!!!
My God i want to party with Barker! 😁 👍👏💯✔⭐💙
I feel so bad for Granville. I'm glad we saw how he turned out later in "Still Open All Hours" He got the Girl.
So wrong but so right. Happy simpler days :)
Wrong? Only to snowflakes and invaders
Ronnie Barker was taught how to stutter by Glen Melvyn.
Ta Tong!!!
😆
"Emotional yogurt"
What I was wondering, was if the man was Granville's dad, that would put Granville in his mid thirties. In the pilot, Granville, claims, he's twenty five. As the official first episode, went out, sometime, after that, maybe, that's correct, but an errand boy, in his thirties, only Roy Clarke, eh?
I know. I loved it then. I still love it. But being 56 and watching now there’s a few thingI see that sort of make me wince; like Arkwright is actually quite a nasty old man to potentially deny Granville seeing his father.
@@xr6lad I think he's protecting him. Times were different then, and they weren't sure who Granville's father was based on what they've said about his mother, lol. No point in introducing all the candidates.
20:02, you do tell me some flannel don’t you
St. Albert's Day celebrations are better than nothing on weekends when getting to wear a new pair of boots too eh?
I wonder if that really is Granvilles father??🤔🤔
No couodn’t be. The lady he’s looking for is someone else. Not Arkwright’s sister.
How do we know--- Arkwright doesn't let Granville see the photo as it might have been a picture of his mother, and Arkwright doesn't want Granville to meet his father.@@hana.the.writer5074
Strange that the door sticks but the wall wobbles!🤔
That’s the 70s for you :)
The same architect as Fawlty Towers
I remember this episode from near on 50+ yrs ago.
Thinking what a mean bugger Arkwright was 🙄
Thx
I totally agree 👍
The milk woman is seen at 1:28 however has she no dialogue in this episode.
Not that I know what her hands look like, but it looks like a man's hand that hands the yoghurt to Granville in the scene.
@@stephenderbyshire7849 yeah I think so.
You wouldn't your milk manhandled, would you.
Nice
Nice
Arkwright is not supposed to be Granville's dad. His father is unknown and maybe Hungarian. Never mind your talking about the man at the door lol
16:30 Granville looks like his auditioning for an Imperial service man in the Rebels animated series. Heh, I bet there aren't many like me who watches boths shows.
17:32 ah’v neveh ‘eard suuch ruubish!
i know some people in Romford who are a bit Statgic
Hahahahaha
Del Boy and Ronnie Barker were fantastic in open all hours one of the best comedies from the eighties Richard OSullivan was to cast David Jason as Del Boy in Only Fools And Horses Magic You know it makes sense you plonker
Open All Hours, Raising Damp and Last Of The Summer Wine. And America has?

I need some Sutton's Seeds. I wonder where I can go for them.
try Sutton
I believe you can still buy Sutton's Seeds at
most pet shops and/or most garden centres.

Obviously you can get them at Arkwrights.
I agree , British comedies are better than American
any day of the week...twice on Tuesday..!
6:39 And indeed they never lost the war. Think mirror “sleeping sheep.”
I get this is a tv show the door sticking only small part of show. First thing you do make sure screws in hinges are tight tight tight it might fix it moves towards the hinge side , opposite jamb not the latching door jamb it has moved into
The description of the episode is wrong. The description written is for "Shedding at the Wedding".
Who is St Albert?
It could be twice as good as that and still be worse😂
Cheeky microphone intrusion in the top left corner at 16:42
Dont know how they make such obvious mistakes. Fawlty Towers had a lot of continuity issues, and mic in shots, mic shadows seen. . . Benny Hill did too, but he did that intentionally as part of the skit as I recall...funny stuff. But these are comedies, so who cares, right? Funny is what I am after, and all these shows excel in that. :-)
Shhh 🤫🤭
@@mikes.2181 Yes. It doesn't matter that there's mistakes. They just make the show even more hilarious.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
He does well, the old shopkeeper, but they needed to edit out the speech problems. Amazed they employed an actor with a stutter.
Are you serious?
I love British comedy....its better than America thats for sure 😅😅😅
10:22 Granville complains how heavy those boxes are, but in this shot you can see very clearly that the top box is completely empty. In virtually every scene with Granville in boxes it very obvious that boxes are either empty or very little is in them as virtually all characters, including Arwkright carry them like they are very light.
It is only a tv programme afterall.
😄 They cannot do it for real. The director will face charges if the actor accidentally hurt his back. It’s acting anyways.
Who goes from Hungary to Doncaster on holidays??!!
@@hana.the.writer5074Nobody faced charges when I injured my back
made well before the PC brigade was enlisted!!!!!
Loved it when it first came out. And still do. But can’t help with years of wisdom I know see that Arkwright is a bit of a nasty man: imagine denying Granville potentially seeing his father. And treating him like a child throughout the series; basically a slave. And yet we laugh at it.
And also Granville himself was a bit of a wimp. Still I enjoy it all the same.
Awkright is literally the lowest level of villain. Soulmate Wanted made me realize that his need to keep Granville as borderline slave labor was his plan from the time he took charge of him
18:36
Wasn't Albert
Arkwright's first name ?????
Jams Dodger Alfred was he first name!
@@markchapman6576 the plot thickens
@@markchapman6576nope it's Albert.
0:47
Would Ronnie Barker be lost on the Americans?
LOL, of course not. I'm American, and I think he's hilarious.
14:59
No such thing as an American comody
it's a bit stupid really
Utterly incomprehensible to americans...
John Smith I comprehend this very well, thank you very much.
Ee Lass! Does tha?
John Smith yir aff yr heid?..gies yie patter, chancer.
And if you are looking to have the last word on the matter -you've got it.
John Smith lol it was a joke....your first comment was condescending...after all this show isn't exactly Shakespeare, I simply stated I understood just fine.Peace.
Brilliant show and such a shame that real comedy talent takes a back seat to to the politically correct and reality rubbish we get on tv these days, oh how i miss the 70s/80s when we were allowed to have a good laugh.
Agree!
I have hundreds of channels, and I haven't watched TV in literally years
Modern broadcasting quality is the absolute pits
one of the CLASSICS IMAGINE BEING FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY and hearing Arkwright and trying to copy his English REALLY FUNNY creating a stuttering Russian in English
David Jason was born in 1946 which puts him 41 here and he looks it. It is not believable he is playing eight or nine years younger.
a slight impediment in English CLASS LOL IN 2023 ABOUT A time where lol did not exist and should never
TE TE TONGUE HE SPEAKS CHINESE TOO, SUPERB IM NOT RACIST ITS PURE FUNNY
