Mardy_Mike Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Awesome !! A lad I worked with (from Rossington) managed to get a picture of himself with Johnny Vegas while filming last year... Maybe it was the year before. Time flies!

RWL81P Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 ronnie barker was a fantastic actor in any role he played, but then so is david jason, even though i cant stand frost! but i dont think open all hours has changed that much from the original. same story lines, same writer, same llocation. david jason played as much in the early episodes as ronnie and he's still written into the new ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2512pf Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Myself i think david jason is great I just think the format for open all hours is so dated its become cringe worthy to watch As far as frost goes ,i thought both david jason and the series were excellent hence how long it was on our tv screens So thumbs up for mr jason but thumbs down to the writers of the new open all hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWL81P Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Just goes to proove what i wrote very dated material maybe dated but its drawing the viewing figures or they wouldnt finance they new series. just go's to show how much new crap is on telly, bloody strictly, x factor, brittons got no tallent. and i dont think theres any comedy on telly at all. just go's to show ppl would rather watch the dated material.

Lets see if it gets as nany series as frost had?I think it wont get another There are places for old style humour like ooen all hours They should re run the original on gold,and give only fools a break. Just because a programne is given another series is not just down to viewing figures,its also down to contractual agreements from day 1. Some pay off clauses cost more than a second bite of the cheery Anyway its good we have our own thoughts on this as jt would be very boring if we all liked the same tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I enjoyed the one off episode of Goodnight Sweetheart that was screened recently. I loved that show in the 90's and am quietly hoping the BBC commission a new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Its all about perspective. While it may not be as good as the original just watch ten minutes of the dumbed down tripe that comes out of the US like "Friends" and a rehash of Open all Hours becomes pretty good viewing.

RWL81P Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 i personally think friends was utter shite, didnt see what all the fuss was about, bad american humour. lots of people like it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Do you live near there RWL81P? So they only convert it into a shop for filming? Is it someones home normally? I watched through all the episodes of "Still Open All Hours" and I found it still good viewing in its own right regardless that it was a spinoff.
