This may be a controversial viewpoint, but the north west, possibly the whole north of England was in a steep decline, a state of decay, until the Manchester bombings in 1996 meant the whole city centre had to be rebuilt and the rest of the north followed on.
Anyway, apologies, this has nothing to do with the rebirth of Open All Hours.  |
Personally I preferred it before it was all modernised, I really find Manchester a bit empty now.
I think Open All Hours has aged fairly well, I liked it when I was little but right now, especially in the colder months I can't get enough of it.
