Pat Kane deserved a round of applause from the studio audience for her turn as the short-sighted old lady. She is note-perfect throughout, and you can see the admiration in the three stars, David Jason especially. I play this clip over and over when I need my spirits lifting. She never fails to work her magic.
I’m an 80s child but love all the old comedies like this, love thy neighbour, on the buses, Terry and June, and lots more. I think I was born in the wrong decade.
I’m only greatful being born in 98 as my mum was born in 1960. She ended up introducing me to all these old series. No modern comedy compares to these classics, timeless and never not funny, proper belly laughs ever 15-30 seconds.
I can say Roy Clarke was a genius in bringing us 3 amazing classic comedy sitcoms and characters from them. Keeping Up Appearances -The Bucket Woman, Last Of The Summer Wine - Compo and Nora Batty and lastly Open All Hours - Awkwright and Granville. We know Kathy was also in Open All Hours too as Mrs Blewitt. Ronnie and David Jason their chemistry is remarkable. They just worked so well together. ❤️ Every show very much RIP to Bill Owen, Kathy Staff, Lynda Baron Ronnie B 🌈🙏 gone but never forgotten 😘
Aye, spot on mate. Ronnie and Jason play great muckers and who couldn't love Barbara Flynn. I only wish she had a bigger part. Roy Clarke was ahead of his time with British humour. Brilliant, just brilliant.
These were aways so good and you can never remember all the amazing one-liners, I tend to forget how old these episodes are, except for such brilliance, in acting, writing, set dressing and everything.
I nearly fell off my seat laughing at the customer who entered the store and spoke to the mops in the rack. She played the part down to a tee. Hilarious 😂
Absolutely fantastic timeless classic comedy ggggg Granville ffff fetch your cloth lol lol 😂😂😂😂 The late Ronnie Barker such a iconic comedic actor and also David Jason such icons both of them I can watch open all hours numerous times and still double up with laughter 😂😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Ammazingly hilarious! Deletes stress off your day page! 😅 David Jason is a natural! The way he acts is remarkable! He portrays awesomely. Bravo David! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The lady in red managed to completely steal the show in the presence of the three regular stalwarts of the show, with her beautiful and believable acting. One of my favourite episodes.
I grew up in Boston in the 60's so I was always curious about bbc and shows you guys over the pond watched. Thank you for putting this on, I've always felt attached to England in the back of my mind, like I missed the place, even though I've never been there
Hi John ! British sitcoms are the best ! Check TH-cam for stuff like "Are you being served ?", "Wicar of Dibley", "To the manor born", and "The darling buds of May". (In the latter, David Jason is slightly older, playing "Pop Larkin", of a rather unruly family in Kent, England). Love from Norway 😉 🇧🇻
I was born in 79 from mobile alabama at 9 I broke foot and started watching BBC when apt went off the air at midnight, are you being served, keeping up appearances were what I got hooked on. But only 60 70 & early 80's British comedy other than basil rathburn and nigel Bruce as Sherlock ...comfort blanket as well as porridge, rising damp, and Reginald Perrin. I am a 39 year old widow and this is my love
Along with Porridge this was the best of Ronnie Barker. Great characters. I remember a corner shop just like this. The bacon slicer fascinated me as a toddler.
The shop must’ve had its own smell! I remember the one in our block. It smelled fruity from all the flavored sugars and citric acid added in bubblegums and lollipops! 😅 The smell should stay with me forever.. and I have accidentally found it in the box of Bonux’s laundry powder, lemon aroma! 😌😂 I washed using Ariel but since I found that aroma and I been stacking them boxes in my cabinet for years! 👌🏻 Good luck to you in finding your “smell”! 😂🤚🏻
These older comedies are easy and cosy to watch. Reminds me when it was the norm to have a grocers come ironmongers, newsagent etc on the corner of streets. Handy when shops still closed Sundays and you'd forgotten to by bread, sugar etc. Tragic loss when they got priced out of business by huge overheads and in those days ( not now) cheaper prices in supermarkets.

Arkwright uses the expression to 'faff' when speaking with Granville. My uncle used to say to me that " I faff doodle faff". According to Urban Dictionary, it means to spend time doing little, rather than getting on with something properly. It's a classic British Idiom: A common non-literal saying within a district, community or class of people, to be found in all countries. For example " to faff about " ; to "speak of the devil" speak about someone, then they turn up. "Kick the bucket" a disrespectful way to say someone has died. Idioms can be amusing & give colour to a language, without being offensive.
That customer in the red jacket was so good. Was that Pat Kane? I wish she'd have been in more episodes. I thought she was quite funny. She and Ronnie Barker played so well off each other.

Ah well, if you know the true core of the Brits, you soon learn to love the mostly underdog local life of rural or small town Britain. It's proper gold this.... Love from Norway 🤗🇧🇻
I spotted that remark. She was always quick to side with Granville, but even quicker to expose Arkwright to ridicule. Then you'd see 'G' & the nurse LOLing at him, where he would take it & say nothing.
Nice to see a copy of The Melody Maker on the rack in that pre internet world. When if you wanted to watch a programme you had to BE there when it was broadcast. No catch up or i player. That is why the audience figures were so huge. And The Retford Times - ah . . . . takes me back
I'm severely sight impaired and I have to wear thick specs, but rather than going all holier than thou I still find it funny; along with all the other episodes. The recent remake was a total disaster and thanfully hasn't popped up on YT.
I enjoy watching this show. These guys are so funny. I wonder if Ronnie Barker was like in real life, because on this show he doesn't like to spend money. An honestly the more I watch this show the more money I save. And I love me some David Jason.
This always gives me a warm, cozy, nostalgic feeling, akin to laying on the sofa, with a crackling log fire, sipping a hot mug of Ovaltine. 💚

Same here! I was born in 1963...
I was born in 1960 and actually lived not far from where Open all Hours was filmed.
Today's supposed 'comedy's' can't even touch programmer like this.
Brilliant 👏 I really can't get enough of this clip. 😂😂😂
Good old comedy classics, I watch these shows everyday, never get tired of watching I enjoy seeing more compared to what's on tv today.
There were plenty of stinkers back then too but nice sentiment none the less
me too before bed love love the show
R.I.P Ronnie Barker

Ronnie Barker was just the best ♥️
The entire cast was awesome. The "Still Open All Hours" was equally great. Sad both shows ended so abruptly.
Definitely agree. Every programme he was in he played perfectly
Best double act on tv , love watching this show thanks to my grandparents for showing me comedy gold
"I wish I'd stayed where I was. More coconuts in there than in here". Best line ever! ❤
Absolutely brilliant, Ronnie Barker, and David Jason were made for each other 👍😃😃.
What a wonderful perfect team. They played off each other so well. I wish we had more teams like them in the USA.

So true.
David Jason a brilliant actor
One of our best
But good as he is, Ronnie barker was in different league entirely
Couldn’t agree more 😅👌🏻
"Cover me up, cover me up!"
"Which part is your up?"
Gets me every time :D
What does "your up" mean..? no, I know that,- what does it mean? What makes him ask?

Just found this show never miss it also loved last of summer wine
@@beatricewoods8377 great shows that stand the test of time for sure. Ronnie Barker was so talented.
This show is a magnificent illustration of Ronnie Barker's comedic genius, right alongside David Jason who deserves equal credit.
Wat a great comedy of all time such a great laugh for everyone who can remember it
Hysterical!! Never saw this one and thought I had seen them all.
This is one of the scenes I remember laughing hard at as a young child. It was so funny
Do you mean the lady who is short-sighted ?
Yet no name in the credits !!
Yeh it was good. English humour. They don't understand it now good egood days 👍
Aubrey Beardsley prints...that Granville's got a bitta class!
Love that old lady who wears big thick glasses and talks to Linda lucardi cardboard cut out
She reminds me of Eli in 'Last of the summer wine'!
That’s Patricia Kane.
David Jason served his apprenticeship with The Master Craftsman of timing and comedy.
A brilliant partner ship Ronnie Barker and David Jason
The chemistry between the actors the script writers...best of British comedy sadly never to be repeated in this day and age.
Love this episode
Best comedy up there with fools and towers
How come when she died, they buried her husband 😅🤣😂
What episode of the BBC sitcom, "Open All Night" was that?

Hi John !
British sitcoms are the best !
Check TH-cam for stuff like "Are you being served ?",
"Wicar of Dibley",
"To the manor born",
and "The darling buds of May".
(In the latter, David Jason is slightly older, playing "Pop Larkin", of a rather unruly family in Kent, England).

I am a 39 year old widow and this is my love
No woke .... hilarious episodes 🤩
18:38. Mrs Red Coat had me laughing
I think the red coated short sighted customer is Patricia Kane ( Pat Kane in the list of cast names at the end)...
😂i Agree..she was brillante 😂
Granville is actually older than Mrs Featherstone in real life.
and the same age as Gladys
I knew Stephanie Cole always played characters much older than her age, but this is really surprising.
@@TomJohnson67 she was brilliant as the doctor in Tenko!

Scary words!
The lady in the red duffle coat and Ronnie barker together pure genius I don't know who she is but genius just the same
She reminded me of Joan Sims
She had me laughing
I think it is Pat Kane ( Patricia Kane).
Joan Simms!
I stand corrected, it wasn't Joan Simms. I've never heard of the actress though.
These two clowns were absolute comedy gold god bless them in heaven
They are not both in Heaven.
I’ve been watching this episode for decades and I learned one thing that we married before my husband before 34 not 44 or 54 😂😂 Thank you God!!

Look at Arkwrights face when that woman tells Granville about the brown loaves 😜

Do not forget the great series "Father Ted"🎉
This wee woman is just hilarious 😂 I keep going back to it time and time again 😅❤
Brilliant 👍
So very funny I love watching most enjoyable
The best part of this is at 14:30 when Granville is laughing and Linda Baron is having to restrain herself from also bursting out laughing 😂.
"Who's Sir Cecil???? Not Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Cecil Its CCCCCCCCCecil 😘😜" You couldn't write it these days Its priceless
You never seen Arkwright with any fright to the thought of the Black Widow being the living House Keeper. He was so quick to get out on the bike.
"She'll never get her knicker legs over my washing line, that Black Widow...." 🤣

Loved this ....👍.good days. Good stuff on telly funny stuff ..now it evil🤢
Class show
Don't talk to him he dont even work here that was good
Classic lol
🤣 At least he cared for her feelings and cut the long explaining which was going to be a burden to him short. 😆
Granville cooks, bakes, irons, cleans up the store delivers groceries, Arkwright has a slave more than a relative

In "Vicar of Dibley" ms Kane appears in 3 episodes,
(from 1994).
As "Doris Trott", I think.
(Rather small part).
As for British actors, they have be good, just to be noticed.
The actors with the best agents get all the top tier jobs.
And of course they're the ones who get titled.
Like Dame Maggie Smith.
And Dame Judi Dench.
The latter bagging all the best parts, according to her good friend "Mags"...

Pat Kane was brilliant as the old lady
The glass man Joe Belcher was also in OFAH To Hull and back.
Customer???? I'm not a customer.......She's not a customer (Granvilles face is pricless😏) Whoever the woman in red coat is hilarious 🤣
It’s Patricia Kane.
It's strange to think that when this was filmed Linda Baron (nurse Gladys) was two years older than Stephanie Cole (Mrs. Featherstone).
I have said it before a brilliant partnership Ronnie Barker and David Jason
I think they're all brilliant actors and so funny 👏👏👏🤣😂🤣
When she died they buried her husband! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah...I love that line
I agree, Open all hours, Still open all hours, Only fools and horses, Till death do us part, Love thy neighbour
How on earth do they remember the script. Amazing comedy. Also reminds me of home and our corner shop. Also in Yorkshire.
