Crossover with Open All Hours?

[Kall]

Anyone else thought they could have done a crossover with Open All Hours.

For example they trio go to Doncaster with Sid/Wally to meet a relative of Compo's or even Cleggs, and they live on the same street where Arkwright's shop is, and they go into the shop to buy something, or they could do a scene outside and see Arkwright climbing at Glady's window or see Granville on a delivery.

I certainly think of Roy Clarkes creations S/OAH has the most similarities to Summer Wine, I think Roy perhaps recycled some of his unused LOTSW scripts in Still Open All Hours. A cross over would have been really funny, I'd love to have seen Arkwright meet Auntie Wainwright!

I do often think Auntie Wainwright was sort of a replacement on Arkwright, because Ronnie Barker had retired from acting in the late 1980s, and I think Open All Hours wouldn't have ever thought of being brought back.
