Trivia
Ronnie Barker's favorite comedy series of his own, even more than Porridge (1974), which was more successful, apparently because of David Jason, who was touched and flattered.

Goofs
Arkwright is supposed to be engaged (on and off) to Nurse Gladys Emmanuel, yet in several episodes, he is wearing a wedding ring. It's particularly noticeable when he's counting money from the till.

Q
Who did Granville go out with?
A
He had a soft spot for Mavis, but it seems they didn't go out together, as well as the milk woman (ditto). A woman answered an advert for a live in housekeeper (played by Gilly Colman) but he didn't go with her either. There was obviously Leroy's mother (but we don't know who that was) and Mrs Agnew (played by Sally Lindsay) in Still Open All Hours.
Q
Did Arkwright and Nurse Gladys get married?
A
Sadly not. The last episode was merely him trying to get into Nurse Gladys's bedroom. The follow-up, Still Open All Hours revealed that Nurse Gladys and Arkwright remained engaged until his death-despite the obvious inconvenience to her, you might think.
