    Season Three, Episode Four - 11 April 1982
    Arkwright considers yet another money-making scheme. Everybody seems to want fire-lighters in the winter so he can save cash by making his own - or rather getting Granville to make them in the shed at the back. With explosive results.

      If it had you'd probably have been fed a watered-down, Americanized version... For example, check out the difference between Steptoe and Son and Sanford and Son... The USA rips off a lot of British comedies, and the results are rarely as funny as the originals. If you'd like to watch more really funny British comedies, just let me know and I'll recommend a few of my favorite series for you! :)

    • @versacegang4140

      Mark Gowans Yeah I know it was stupid. Also by the show she wouldn't have been still alive in the time Still Open All Hours was set in as she was supposed to be older here. Yeah it wasn't good and like you said, It's like they didn't watch the first show. They were missing an intregal part of the show that made it- Ronnie Barker.

    • @oliverlambkin3412
      @oliverlambkin3412 Před 5 lety +9

      esme t- I completely agree. I think what should have happened after Open All Hours finished is this:
      Granville looks after the shop while Arkwright and Gladys get married and go on their honeymoon. After Arkwright dies, he looks after the shop for a few years whilst nursing Gladys and courting the milkwoman (whatever her job is by that point). When Gladys dies, he sells the shop, and with the proceeds, marries the milkwoman and goes into a more exciting line of work.

    The only problem I have with these relationships is what do the older ones think is going to happen to their "empires" when they are gone and their replacements are too old too fund their own replacements
    ( I know they addressed this in still open all hours but my point stands) without some unforseen relative appearing out of nowhere it all goes anyway after the one they stopped for so long from copulating is too old for it, and we wonder why there are so few shopkeepers about now, better to keep blaming the supermarkets for offering better pay and conditions
