I forgot to watch it! :doh:

iplayer today... hopefully I won't find it cringeworthy. I didn't get around to picking up the box set of the original series pre-Christmas but as soon as I get paid I'll be picking it up, not that I haven't seen it over and over I'm just fed up of seeing the same episodes.

We'll enjoyed it more than I thought I would. As others have mentioned Granville became everything he hated so Arkwright won and turned Granville into himself. Only thing I didn't like was the canned laughter which I have never liked and wasn't to keen on the actor playing his son. But ratings have been good so expect a series.

I really enjoyed the first episode of Still Open All Hours last night.

Far superior to last years pilot. Much better that it only referred to Arkwright twice at most. David Jason really seemed to take hold of the role of Granville once more, whereas in the pilot he appeared to be doing a rather poor Ronnie Barker impersonation.

Didn't even know it was on!
I agree about last years though, me and my girlfriend watched it and thought the exact same thing :nod:

We had him falling off ladders and running round the shop in his underpants last night.

I know it sounds silly but in the context it worked. :nod:

I'll have to look out for it being shown again, which I've no doubt will happen before the year is out

Episode two's on tomorrow night.

Then i presume it's on Sunday nights for the next few weeks.

IPlayer it is then!

Isn't that too much too soon, considering ep 1 was on last night

I don't know.

Soaps seem to be on very bleedin' night.

Enjoyed original series, but dont really buy into the fact that Granville would have turned out just like Awkright. And David Jason mimicking Ronnie Barker is'nt a winning formula.

Did you not enjoy tonight's episode?

I thought episode 1 was better

I think their that keen for it to work that every character is a famous person.
If u get what I mean just cos its full of famous people doesn'tmake it neccesary any worse or better .

missed it

It seems to be all based around Tim Healy
