If there was one thing I thought that didn’t need to be shown on TV over Christmas, it was a one-off revival of the Ronnie Barker/David Jason comedy which ran from 1976 to 1985 across four series, Open All Hours.
I ended up seeing most of the episode and it was pretty lame. However, if you put anything family-friendly on over Christmas when there’s a captive audience, you’re going to get a large number of people watching and the total ratings were 12.2m.
G-G-G-Granville will return in Still Open All Hours for six new episodes later this year, again written by Roy Clarke. You have been warned…
Until then, here’s the trailer for the Christmas special:
