Product Description

All six episodes from the fourth season of the BBC comedy series written by Roy Clarke, in which miserly stuttering shopkeeper Arkwright (Ronnie Barker) employs his down-trodden nephew Granville (David Jason) in his grocery shop while attempting to woo the ample-bosomed Nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron). In 'Soulmate Wanted', Granville puts an ad in the personal column of the newspaper. In 'Horse-Trading', Arkwright offloads some useless clothes horses to a rival shopkeeper, and is distressed to see his rival turn a profit. In 'The Housekeeper Caper', Arkwright advertises for a housekeeper in order to make Gladys jealous. In 'The Errand Boy Executive', Granville becomes obsessed with a girl who works in a boutique, and tries to pretend that he owns Arkwright's shop. In 'Happy Birthday Arkwright', Arkwright is shocked to hear that a reviewer for the Good Shop Guide is in the area. Finally, in 'The Mystical Boudoir of Nurse Gladys Emmanuel', Arkwright tries to get into Gladys' bedroom, usnig chocolates and a ladder.

Synopsis

In the sitcom Open All Hours, Arkwright (Ronnie Barker), a stuttering, stingy shopkeeper, is constantly scheming to get money out of his gullible customers. He teaches his nephew, Granville (David Jason), the exciting world of corner shops while pining for his object of affection, nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron). This collection includes episodes from the fourth season: "Soulmate", "Horse-Trading", 'The Housekeeper Caper', 'The Errand Boy Executive', 'Happy Birthday Arkwright' and "The Mystical Boudoir Of Nurse Gladys Emmanuel".

5.0 out of 5 stars Open All Hours 4 5 Sep 2008
Format:DVD
Sadly, this was the last series and boy did it go out with a bang. I still howl with laughter every time I watch Open All Hours. Again, some classic one-liners which will have you doubled over laughing even when you've heared them hundreds of times. Ronnie Barker and David Jason are two of Britains best comedy actors and it certainly shows here. Arkwright is as tight as ever, finally relenting and agreeing to a new till, several models are shown to him and as the sales man walks in with each one, all you can hear is his voice from inside his shop shouting "How Much????". Absolute brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius! 9 Sep 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought Open All Hours - Series One [1976] [DVD],Open All Hours - Series Two [1981] [DVD],Open All Hours - Series Three [1982] [DVD] [1976],Open All Hours - Series Four [1985] [DVD] together as a gift for my son, he loves the humour and I have to say I'm encouraging it! I bought these for him when he was 8 and it's a great, gentle programme to watch together as a family - not much of that around these days! He also loves to watch an episode with his Grandparents when they have chance, it's been a lovely way to create some common ground - LOVE IT!
