Still Open All Hours (2013–2019)

Terrible series based on one of the best

[1/10 · 18 December 2018]

I have tried a few times to like it, but i just can't. I love David Jason, but it's just such a terrible series. One thing that really boils my blood is the transformation of granville. Somehow Granville has turned into Arkwright, even though Granville was absolutely the opposite when he was younger. Let's face it, not even the great David Jason can step into Ronnie barkers shoes, but to try to keep the tight-fisted owner alive by making us believe Granville, the lovely dreamer with high hopes could morph into his horrible uncle is just plain ridiculous. This is probably the main thing I hate about the series, but then again, they did alllow Johnny Vegas on the series. Tim Healy I can live with, but his character development is quite frankly stupid. Vegas though, is utterly terrible. Why is he acting like an old man when he's quite clearly in his forties? Also the black widow is now after granville?? That's just weird. She was after his uncle before and wouldn't even be served by granville, now she's trying to bed him??? Who comes up with this crap. Let it go folks, it's dead already.
