Open All Hours

[Ric.ror]

I never saw it with Ronnie barker cause I couldn't stand him
But what a stellar cast
Mind you I love a battle axe
It's a joy to see brigit Forsyth in anything

[cupid04]

Stephanie Cole is my favourite.

[Ric.ror]

Yes she's great too

[Hopkirk]

Ronnie Barker was brilliant, but what little I have seen of this reincarnation of the series is very poor.

[Postdog]

Ditto. An insult to the original.

[carolegif]

The gossip between the women was so funny though. Timing was perfect.

[boxtops]

I don't like rehashes of programmes, they are rarely as good as the original :-(

[agchristie]

Agree with Hopkirk about Barker...

This version is rather lame and lacks the chemistry for me that Barker had with the characters..

[whirlyhurly]

Oh it's not a patch on the original non p c version. I used to enjoy Brigit Forsyth as Thelma in "The Likely Lads".

Didn't see it this week, but last week's episode seemed to be a selection of 5 minute sketches just cobbled together, not been written as an entire episode with a story line. Nowhere nearly as good as the original !

Haven't watched this re-make, but it could never match the original. Will be the same when Poldark comes back with a different cast, will just be pining for Robin Ellis :(

[roopower]

I love it, it's going to take a while to bed in but I've laughed out loud. The bit with the four older ladies last night was wonderful. You can tell it's written by the same writer.

[Slapshot]

It's been great, the old cast back are still wonderful and the new ones a great addition.... really enjoyed it, hope there's more

Paula Wilcox is still a fine looking woman.. and if Barbara Flynn could come back too...;0)

I watched the one off David Jason episode when it was on ages ago. Haven't bothered with this series. Once was enough for me.

I was surprised to find it mildly enjoyable (I was in-and-out). Stephanie Cole is always worth time and I quite enjoyed fitting faces from the past into present parts. It was, of course, hugely predictable in every way. At least it was not offensive and a family could watch it.
