Thankfully even with the relentless spread of the ubiquitous supermarket, there are still many towns with streets just like these with similar shops as Arkwright's.
Arkwright is the kind of shopkeeper who replete with a gift of the gab, pride themselves at being able to sell anything to anybody. Who's aim in life is to get as firm a grip,on his customers wallets and purses, as the spring on the shops till.
Shops like this are invariably family concerns run by the overbearing patriarch, endeavouring to keep as strong a hold on his shop as on his family. They're likely to have had a life of their own, and be hell bent on preventing younger family members from having one of their own.
Of course Granville hasn't got a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere, in life with his miserly old uncle around. He's doomed to ending up like Arkwright without even a Gladys Emanuel around to console him.
This show has a dream comedy pairing of Ronnie Barker and David Jason on top form, gelling together perfectly.
