Synopsis
Open All Hours (1976) is a BBC sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. Written by Roy Clarke, it stars Ronnie Barker as Albert Arkwright — a corner-shop owner whose grip on every penny borders on the religious — and David Jason as his long-suffering nephew Granville.
The show ran for 26 episodes between 1976 and 1985, starting on BBC Two before moving to BBC One. Arkwright haggles, schemes, and sweet-talks his way through every transaction while Granville endures the counter, the cold, and his uncle's endless lectures on thrift. The premise is tiny. The comedy is precise.
Barker and Jason built something that doesn't rely on plots or set pieces — just two very different men stuck in a small shop, going nowhere fast and making it worth watching every step of the way. Stream all episodes of Open All Hours online on iFILM.
