Wait… what? I heard about it a few years ago and just assumed it was cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons. Surely its not as funny as the style of comedy must have been watered down
Shame. But I suppose it did a lot better than anyone predicted, and it was running a bit thin on the jokes towards the end.
It may not be to everybody’s taste, but I would take a light hearted comedy over another bloody game show any day of the week….
Roy Clarke’s main failing has always been never knowing when to stop…
I’d heard about reboot when it was first announced and thought it was literally a one off special.
Fair play for managing to squeeze six series out of it.
They cancel this but leave the rest of the shit on.
Six seasons is bloody good innings in this day and age *glares in Netflix*
I had no idea this was still going, I used to watch the original quite a bit on UK Gold. Just tried a few clips, they have really tried to keep that classic campy humour of innuendos but it just doesn’t hit the same.
I genuinely thought it had been cancelled years ago
I never managed an entire episode. And I saw the *whole* Reggie Perrin remake – the one with Martin Clunes.
Didn’t even know it was still on.
Open All Hours itself only ran for four seasons and probably because of that remains a classic.
Good it was painfully bad and im surprised it made 2 seasons, let alone 6
Bit like the Dad’s Army film, glad they didnt make a series out of it. Love the original, it’s dated and some parts arent acceptable now like references to the fuzzy wuzzys in the Sudan but it’s still funny a lot of it regardless of that. The new film I dont think I laughed once. The new Red Dwarf is poor as well, peaked about 4 series ago mid 90s in Starbug.
