Open All Hours (1976–1985)
7/10
A work of art and a great sitcom for those who can relate
4 May 2022
Having had older relatives that turned to being stingy and thrifty due to general economical failures and crises, it was easy to recognise their small mannerisms in this sitcom, as well as their tragic ways of putting material things above their own families and friends, because that's what plain survival instincts do, when society does not take care of its weaker members.

Aside from the dramatic underlining of the setting and story, the sitcom is brilliant to almost every little detail. And enjoyable. The actors make a great duo, and they keep it right in the middle, as if playing a ball game all the time, passing the ball between the two of them with a mix of fairness and fierce competition...
