This show has brought me so much joy. Thank you so very much Roy Clarke, Ronnie Barker. David Jason and all the other remarkable characters. We will never forget any of you.
I love ronnie Barker his humour is like nothing I've ever seen before I love the silly expressions on his face when he is clowning around! Nobody could ever replace him in a million lifetimes! The 70s 80s was the best time for British comedy I think!!!
Thank you so much for this! 🇮🇪 Stephanie Cole, one of my favourite actresses, who can forget Tenko, Doc Martin. Talent like that doesn't come along everyday. What an ensemble cast❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪
the cast of the original series was outstanding Ronnie Barker was an outstanding comedic actor with perfect timing, intelligence, and expression and as such should be held in high esteem as one of our national treasure. David Jason as Granville his perfect foil. the chemistry and friendship and affection on and off-screen was and they had a deep appreciation of each other's skills and talents Jason often referred to barker as the guvnor. the supporting cast was brilliant and the characters so well developed. there is nothing like this on tv now that can match. the remake has an essence of the original but i don't think it quite worked for me personally many thanks for posting this
Worse thing they could ever have done was do a ‘continuation’. Once Ronnie Barker was gone you could never recapture the essence that made it a classic and just ‘duplicating’ some of the fan favourites such as sayings and cast members made the thing seem both forced and unfunny. Somethings should just be left to lie.
I remember the corner shops that sold nearly every thing, many years ago where we lived in the Rhondda Valley, as I am now approaching my 79th Birthday there was candy's the corner shop and on the other side of the road there wa peglar stores on the corner and further down the road there was Audrey's. shop on the corner. Sweet memories they are from way back.
I love Open All Hours. It’s in my top five sitcoms of all time. Just such great chemistry between the actors and actresses. Ronnie Barker is just fabulous. Sadly I can’t say the same for “Still Open All Hours” as it just isn’t funny to me. It was cool to see the weather forecast at the beginning too 👍
I kinda felt the same as you at first. I thought to myself: "This is just David playing Barker, and it sucks!" However, I have grown to love the new show and the characters in it. I suggest you AT LEAST give it another go before writing it off completely. ;)
15 years ago I would never believe that my three year old self would know years later that AUNTIE MABEL knows DEL BOY (who I'm in love with now - I didn't know him in 2003! Haha) but now just thinking of watching come outside as a kid, being obsessed, watching only fools last year, became obsessed, and watching this recently and finding out my two most favourite actor and actress are co-starring. It's insane. I wouldn't ever think they would know each other at all, it never came to mind! Anyway I bloody love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
Everything Ronnie barker did was brilliant porage, going straight, two Ronnie's I would like to see some of the one offs that he did One example I'LL FLY YOU FOR A QUID was brilliant There'll never be another like him
I'm watching the original on CZcams just now loved it ss a kid also only fools and horses is my favourite and porridge but this modern remake I've never watched any episodes of it yet! this video was the first thing I've ever saw of it and honestly I couldn't watch it now being to modern n rubbish like today's sitcom comedies! Still good on Del Boy it for taking on such a worrying position of Arkwright and now he has a son! just isn't right classics shouldn't be remade in my opinion it's like the saying "if it's not broken don't fix it"
Very glad to see Granville, Mrs Featherstone, Nurse Gladys and Mavis return. The remake has received great criticism but I think it serves as a wonderful tribute to the original, hopefully the final series should be coming along sometime this year - it would be nice to see all the loose ends tied up (Granville & Mavis settle down together perhaps). I think Ronnie Barker would be very proud, very proud indeed.
Worse thing they could ever have done was do a ‘continuation’. Once Ronnie Barker was gone you could never recapture the essence that made it a classic and just ‘duplicating’ some of the fan favourites cast and sayings and putting them in made the thing both forced and unfunny. Somethings should just be left to lie.
It was totally unfunny and forced and the character left when Ronnie died. It was a collection of fan favourite repeated cliches from the last desperately trying you recapture the magic of the past and they never can.
Its a shame, that sparkle just isnt there, the same as Last Of The Summer Wine, a leaf should have been taken from Basil Fawltys book and closed the door before it became what its become.
I celebrate brilliance........ nothing more, nothing less. The desire to resurrect something long gone, is not for me to decide........... My best wishes to the folks looking for ......... "Success" .................maybe someday, some folks will realize it's OVER

I get tired of it they work to much hours. An the title makes me feel another day at every day store I hate seven days of kinda work it burns brain other than see past that I do not watch to long .
I have to be honest : as much as I love the actors, the script and the jokes, the basic character of Arkwright & the story line is about a narcissistic person who mistreats his nephew - kept as an underpaid servant who's not allowed his own life but must work every hour. God forbid he marries as Arkwright would lose a very cheap worker or would have to pay him far more. Sometimes Arkwright is unacceptably violent with Granville. A man who "loves" his fiancé so much, he spends no money on her ever , never takes her out anywhere and his only interest in her is sexual - all the time . His only interest is to get into her bedroom & her knickers! And if you pay attention there's an implication of infidelity with other women if he ever got the chance. Really quite a horrible person who we love only because he's played by Ronnie. Ps not to mention that this character steals from clients by forcing money off them for items they don't ask for nor want and he fiddles their change & sells stuff thats soiled or damaged. The show could have been better if for one reason or another Arkwright lost to the victory of others in the show most weeks ie being horrible doesn't pay. This show implied being horrible was OK as he got away with it all the time, every time. It's funny because of the excellent acting and jokes about them and we love tge actors but the story isn't a funny one.

One of the best shows from UK.
Ronnie Barker was a legend, I still love watching Open All Hours
Thank you so much for this! 🇮🇪 Stephanie Cole, one of my favourite actresses, who can forget Tenko, Doc Martin. Talent like that doesn't come along everyday. What an ensemble cast❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪
Waiting for God, Cabin Pressure, etc. A fine, fine actress.
Thank you for this. I bought the dvd set because I just love this show.

To think Lynda Baron is in her 80s now. What a wonderful thing this was and I agree with Roy, a huge trip down memory lane.

THE VERY VERY BEST BRITISH COMEDY EVER , NO BETTER, UNFORTUNATELY THEY DON'T MAKE COMEDY LIKE THAT ANY MORE AND THERE NO MORE RONNIE BARKER.

i love watching open all hours, all episodes, i wish they had made more seasons with ronnie barker....
I think he should have married nurse Gladys
@@normathomas8276 agree. I think it was sad. I also wish Granville had stood up for himself more; watching the show today.
Yeah, does anyone know WHY the canned it when it was SO POPULAR at the time? Seems like a bizarre and frankly STUPID decision..........
Wish it was still on enjoy it so much thank you for America

Thank you really miss them all best show ever.
My favorite characters were Gladys and Mavis
I'm watching the original on CZcams just now loved it ss a kid also only fools and horses is my favourite and porridge but this modern remake I've never watched any episodes of it yet! this video was the first thing I've ever saw of it and honestly I couldn't watch it now being to modern n rubbish like today's sitcom comedies!

So funny nothing like the original miss those days wish i could turn back time.
Fabulous show! Thanks for posting this 👍👍👍👍. Loved every minute of it

Thanks REALLY enjoyed watching this!!! Still enjoy the originals as well !! :)
It's criminal that the BBC canceled the last series that Roy Clarke has already written.
Are you beening serving.is my favorite.this one is my second best.
I had no idea some of them had pass away.sad to hear that.open all hours just pop up on my phone.cant get enough of looking at them.
Absolutely Brilliant, love it !!!!!
Watching from the USA.
Lovely
Bring back still open all hours. Please iits hilarious .
It was totally unfunny and forced and the character left when Ronnie died. It was a collection of fan favourite repeated cliches from the last desperately trying you recapture the magic of the past and they never can.
Loved this,Thankyou
Stephanie Cole seems to be so good at playing women that are way older than she really is
remember when she was Diana Trent in Waiting for God?
DANIEL WOODHOUSE having you seen “keeping mum”. It’s my favorite Stephanie Cole show. She’s a wonderful actor.
Fabulous.......thanks so much!!❤️
which episode is it where Nurse Gladys Emmanuelle has her knickers in the window?
Its a shame, that sparkle just isnt there, the same as Last Of The Summer Wine, a leaf should have been taken from Basil Fawltys book and closed the door before it became what its become.
sad they will Never make them like that again
I celebrate brilliance........ nothing more, nothing less. The desire to resurrect something long gone, is not for me to decide........... My best wishes to the folks looking for ......... "Success" .................maybe someday, some folks will realize it's OVER
Wtf u on about ?
couldn't get into the sequel. always felt that Granville had turned into Arkwright.am i wrong??
which episode is 30:12 where he paints the women's butt on the window??? I can't seem to find it on my dvds!!
Not counting the pilot, it's the first episode :)
As I'm literally watching it now, I can confirm it's at the 4 minute mark! ha ha!
Giles Hellier serves me right for watching the series in reverse order! I'd watched series 4, 3 and 2!
***** Ha ha! I've just gone round again meself. Blinding show!
You left the ads in???
Love to see them🇬🇧
@@paulgabolinscy2502 I agree, I learned it's called continuity. I learned that from Victoria Woods All Day Breakfast.
What about the milk woman she was so funny and cute?
jack freeman
Barbara Flynn, she's still acting. Not sure if she was in the new series.
I agree! I really liked the milk woman.
Sheepdog was the star
It should have been left alone. It didn't work this time
Don't like the remake not as good or as funny without Ronnie prefer the original
Bloody burr burr burglars
Neither Ronnie or David were Northern " put the wood in the hole" more " put wud inth ole'

Sadly, the Jason remakes were about as bad as they could be. Taped laughter, indeed! Terrible.

It's never the same without the main character it's like you tried to watch Dallas without Jr
