Open All Hours
Created by Roy Clarke
On BBC One
A warmly comic British sitcom built on the affectionate friction between a miserly shopkeeper and his long-suffering nephew, set in a working-class Yorkshire corner shop.
Open All Hours is a British television sitcom created and written by Roy Clarke, starring Ronnie Barker as penny-pinching corner-shopkeeper Albert Arkwright, and David Jason as his nephew and assistant Granville. The programme originated as a 1973 episode of Barker’s comedy anthology Seven of One, and later ran for 26 episodes; the first series broadcast on BBC2, the remaining three series broadcast on BBC1.
