Open All Hours
Weekdays at 5.40pm
It's not often that a simple trip to the grocer's leaves you vulnerable to a bout of the giggles, but with Arkwright and Granville behind the counter it's a c-c-c-certainty. David Jason learns at the foot of the master, serving his hilarious apprenticeship with Ronnie Barker's stammering shopkeeper. It's not just his voice that stutters, as perennial fiancée Nurse Gladys keeps their romance at shoulder length. You'll be rolling in the aisles – Ger-Granville! Fer-fetch yer cloth!
