Open All Hours 1973-1985

The setting is a small grocer's shop in Balby, a suburb of Doncaster in South Yorkshire. The owner, Albert E. Arkwright (Ronnie Barker), is a middle-aged miser with a stammer and a knack for selling. His nephew Granville Arkwright (David Jason), is his put-upon errand boy, who blames his work schedule for his lacklustre social life.
Across the road lives Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron), a nurse occupied by her professional rounds and her elderly mother. Arkwright longs to marry her, but she resists his persistent pressures. Though short-tempered with Arkwright, she is concerned for his and Granville's welfare.
