Plan B Forum

I hear that there is a new series being made called "still open all hours" where Granville now owns the store and runs it with his son.

Yippie!

...with nurse Gladys Emmanuel as well!

I know, right!

In the pilot, Ronnie says "One day, all this will be yours". There was a one-off Xmas special of "Still...." in 2013. Wiki, he/she/it say:

Production for series one started in August 2014 . . . exterior filming started on 15 September, and location recording was completed on 26 September 2014 . Interior scenes will be recorded in front of a live studio audience from 10 October-21 November 2014 at Teddington studios

Can you people please speak in English?

Like these people?




This might provide a full recovery from the above

If there were to be any realism in the new "Open all hours" the shop would be owned by a Pakistani bloke.

don t depress me gob. Yorkshire reminds me of the lower eastern shore of my youth. we are pretty much surrounded by the megalopolis here, but managed to remain a fairly homogenous, rural, and self sufficient people, well into the 70 s.there were whites blacks and some native americans and we all got along pretty well. "baltimorons " were the most exotic creatures we had around here. they were usually nice enough, but the way they shot cows and each other when hunting, and the aggressive driving of a lot of "foreigners", as we called them, inspired the nick name. some areas are still quite a bit off the beaten path and retain these qualities. the people on last of "the summer wine" remind me of my older relatives and the people of this area when I was a boy.

i always enjoyed meeting the newcomers as they arrived and learning all i could, but i miss the way it used to be around here, peaceful, rural, friendly, safe, and just a bit naughty. by and large things were proper, but we made our own rules. there were plenty of outlaws, but they really were nice enough too. i do have ancestor s from the areas that were settled by pirates after all, too. deals island used to be called devil s island, and i believe dames quarter, a town across from the island, used be called the damned quarter in colonial times. plenty of preachers and christians too. Methodists. Baptists too, but they were kinda scary.

oops, i m rambling. sorry.
