I disagree. And your post begs the question, why watch this if you always thought Open All Hours was unfunny?

Yeah it was harshly, even stupidly posted. I have it all on dvd.

I've never found it laugh out loud funny and this was just the same.

Didn't you think David Jason was trying to play Arkwright rather than Granville.

That was the point. Grandville came full circle and became the old git he always wanted not to be.

It seemed more of an impersonation to me.

As it finished i just felt what was the point of it all really?

Had it been a series or even an hour episode it would have been much better.

Nice to see the till again.

It was okay as a kind of tribute episode but I don't think it ever gets past the fact that Ronnie Barker isn't there.

I found myself wanting to like it far more than I actually did

Apparently if the reviews and ratings are good then he think about doing a full series.
but I did find a one of half hr episode bit pontless could have been 45 /hr long

To me it ws never meant to be hilarious or belly laughs etc more just light hearted humour .
