Does anyone remember the first name of Arkwright in Open All Hours?

I believe Granville called him Albert in one of the episodes. Episode 6.4 "The Errand Boy Executive" to be precise.User:Hogtree

[edit] Littlehampton

I'm still not really sure about this addition:

The programme was based on a shop in Norfolk Road, Littlehampton where Barker used to live near.

Although it has been correctly referenced, it seems somewhat speculative to me on the source - after all, the series was not written by Ronnie Barker, and his portrayal could have been based on any corner shop, really. Is there any interview or other page that suggests the Littlehampton corner shop was especially influential other than the town website? Bob talk 21:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Edited to remove vandalisim, Swearing placed in title.

[edit] Episode articles

As Open All Hours is another top 10 British sitcom, like Fawlty Towers I would propose that articles for each episode are the order of the day. Catchpole (talk) 21:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree. If anyone has books such as a Ronnie Barker biography or other material, sourcing is always helpful. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episodes

Would you guys mind if I implement the wikitable that is formatted for episodes? It might be a little more orderly than what you have going on here now. Hewinsj (talk) 20:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely, try it and we can see how it looks. Catchpole (talk) 12:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it and see what I can pull together. On second glance I notice that this shows episode list uses information in addition to what you would see in a typical episode list so I want to make sure that I figure out the best way to format it. I'll post a sample here once I have something written up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hewinsj (talk • contribs) 01:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
