Wow. This show is a wow.. I honestly think this is the worse comedy show in a long long time. I can not believe how bad this show is. David Jason has ended his career with a big fat stinker off a show. This program is so dated, story lines, aged jokes, poor stereotyping off people and cultures and even worse suggestive sexual innuendos. This show has no place in 2017 its a relic to say the least. You have actually got to watch this show to see how bad it is, its alarming. David Jason retire and grow old gracefully. His done his self no favors with this Turkey off a show on the back off The Queens Bodyguard..................

As a lifelong fan of the original series I was delighted when they announced this was being made. I can't lie and say I find it scream out loud humour, but it is funny enough, it's the kind of show that fills the void left by Last of the Summer Wine. A nice floaty light, humorous show to have chicken sandwiches and cheesecake while watching. It has glimpses of the original magic, there are times when it's quite funny, the true laughs come from the original cast members, Lynda Baron and Stephanie Cole are still great. Maggie Ollerenshaw still manages to inject a bit of magic as Mavis. I think the first episode remains the funniest, since then we've had a few duffs, and a few good ones, it's one of those shows I'm glad is still on. It's watchable enough, but it's massively missing Ronnie Barker. 6/10

Couldn't get past the first minute. Laugh-trac made it unwatchable. Perhaps it's just me, but I find canned laughter most off-putting. Why do I need ten lines to post my review? This is silly. I've said all that needs to be said. So I'll repeat myself, in stronger language. Any show that needs to rely on canned laughter needs to rethink itself. If the show needs to tell me when to laugh, i.e, where the jokes are, then the writing needs to be re-done. Guess I'm still not up to ten lines, so I'll state again. I can't tell you -- without lapsing into profanity -- how incredibly insulting I find ANY SHOW that must rely on laugh tracks. To my way of thinking, show that rely on laugh tracks are simply moronic.

Like I'm sure a lot of Open All Hours fans I was dubious about this revival,but it is reassuring to see it hasn't been something that has been just cobbled together to fill a slot in the Christmas schedules - Still Open All Hours not only stands up as strongly as the original but also begs the questions as to why this sort of comedy isn't on our screens more regularly.Yes, it's not all perfect and some of the jokes don't do a lot for me (though the studio audience seem to get them) but with the great Sir David Jason back as Granville (but with a hint of Arkwright) and the welcome sight of some old faces combined with the lovely gentle humour of Roy Clarke's writing I see no reason why this show shouldn't return for a full series. Stay open a bit longer Granville.
