This Weeks Still Open All Hours
- Thread starter maltrab
- Start date
I actually watched it this week, I saw two episodes of the first series and didn't like it but there was nothing else on while I was waiting for something else to start so watched it, I still don't like it. The "Coffee morning " scene wasn't funny and the whole thing looked like it was recycled from several shows. If ever there's an argument not to bring SW back it's this.
I have to ask what the hell have they done to Mrs Featherstone? She's gone from iron draws to Cynthia Paine.
I know this post won't be popular with some people.

I have to say this episode was a total disappointment, and a lot of the recycled plots were from the original Open All Hours.
Also painfully predictable.
I should watch it again, but remind me, why were they washing the suit in that antiquated manner? That's obviously not how they do their own laundry.
Hopefully the next episode will be better.

Watched the latest episode tonight. That's Series 2 Episode 5.
It was an OK episode, got to see a new character, and liked the bits with Mrs Featherstone and reluctant boyfriend.
But I ask you, going to a wedding with a giant plastic sunflower handcuffed to your wrist?
I think SOMEONE would have at least got a hacksaw and cut through the chain.
What with shrinking clothes and trousers splitting in the backside area last week, and now this, is a seven year old now contributing to the scripts?

Yes I think in the course of 295 episodes there was some recycling.

I'm starting to like the Still Open series a bit more as I watch it. It is starting to grow on me. True, it is not the same as the original, but is similar in a nostalgic type of way. Granville has become more like Arkwight than he ever would have thought of as his younger self.
Something I did discover recently while watching the new series is that David Jason is also the voice of Duckula from Count Duckula cartoon series. I was half watching the show half distracted while Granville was talking and I thought he sounded just like Count Duckula then. So I Googled who was the voice of Duckula and to my surprise it was David Jason. Yes, I should have put 2 and 2 together sooner but it has been ages since I watched Count Duckula or Danger Mouse.
Cheers,
Rick
