Originally part of the Ronnie Barker series 'Seven Of One', this is our first taste of Open All Hours, with all the key elements in place - except for Sheila Brennan rather than Lynda Baron as Nurse Gladys, of course - and it's a delight from start to finish. There are also funny cameos from Yootha Joyce (though the sight of her pushing a pram full of empty booze bottles sounds a rather tragic note, due to her real-life alcoholism) and a very young Keith Chegwin, whose line "Have you got a frozen Zoom?" sets up one of the funniest exchanges of the show. (Zoom was a brand of British ice-cream from the 1970s, incidentally!) There's also plenty of Roy Clarke's trademark witty writing, most notably in Arkwright's oddly logical ramblings - "I want you to buff that doorknob until it shines. An odd ambition, you might think, to own a shiny knob - just a shopkeeper's quirk. So get buffing until I can see my quirk in it". David Jason does his usual fine job in the supporting role as Arkwright's downtrodden nephew Granville, and demonstrates his knack for silent comedy and mime. Recommended.
