Information for Open All Hours at Brookside Theatre, Romford (Play). First aired in 1973, this much loved classic sitcom has been specially commissioned to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its television premiere. The production skilfully blends together classic moments from over 20 episodes into a rib ticking evening of visual humour and comedic lines made famous by Britain's favourite shop keeper Albert Arkwright, and his put-upon errand boy, Granville. As a nation of shopkeepers Arkwright's emporium proves that we love nothing more than the real life that is found in that great institution, the corner shop.... "A terrific 40th anniversary celebration of a memorable television show." Sir David Jason OBE.
