Still Open All Hours...

-
BBC bosses have ordered a new series of corner shop sitcom Still Open All Hours, after being impressed with the Christmas special.
Six episodes of the series, starring Sir David Jason as Granville, will be filmed in Doncaster and shown later this year.
The show, which starred Sir David with late comic Ronnie Barker as stammering Albert Arkwright, originally ran from 1973 to 1985 but was revived for a special episode on Boxing Day.
That one-off pulled in more than nine million viewers on the day with around three million more watching it on catch-up.

Episode 40… Decision ‘Esme… I’ve been giving our situation a lot of thought.’ Charles looked at her with careful consideration. She seemed to him to have more maturity now than ever he realised. She had grown into a fine woman. She sipped from a small cup of coffee whilst her crystalline eyes studied him back. She lowered the cup gently to its saucer. ‘Charles, If I were a smoker, this would be the moment I would light up!’ She grinned lavishly. He smiled back a reply and said: ‘I want us to stay with some friends of mine that live in North Wales. Toby can run things here for a while and his brother Barney will help out. Look we both need a break…Get away from London for a while. It would do us both some good.’ ‘But North Wales Charles… Snowdonia! It will be cold this time of year.’ ‘You won’t feel the cold I promise and you will just love ‘the Porrits’.

Episode 77… Rebecca’s Help… (Part two It really was not very clear to Charles how he should set about making contact with Rebecca. In the past she had simply been there in his mind and her embodiment just materialised. Now the difficulty, was how to make that all happen again! This puzzled him for some days, whilst he busied himself with the routines of running his photographic business. He had passed his word to Herbert, and that must stand, he told himself. ‘Herby’ himself had returned to the confines of his small upstairs living quarters in Brick Lane, confident in the endeavours of his dear friend. uch thought passed through Charles mind in those coming days, even to the point of perhaps employing the serMvices of a ‘Medium’ then it suddenly struck him, what was staring him in the face all along! Toby and Barney, they were both instrumental in ways of the Astral Plain, they could see certain visions that others could not. He would talk to them the very next morning. He would s...

Broadcasting House in 1951… This wonderful artist line drawing of Broadcasting House in London was first published by the Odhams Press back in 1951. It is a fascinating cut-away look at the establishment in those days which was the centre of broadcasting in Britain. It shows the administrative headquarters of The British Broadcasting Corporation that contained some of the early studios. As today, transmitters are distributed throughout the United Kingdom and there are studios in most parts of the country, although television production in the main now comes from the BBC Television Centre at White City in West London which was opened in June 1960.
