This is a list of the episodes of Open All Hours, a BBC sitcom created and written by Roy Clarke. Open All Hours stars Ronnie Barker and David Jason as an uncle and nephew who operate a small grocery shop in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The programme was introduced to television in 1973, as an episode of Seven of One, an anthology series that tested seven television pilots with Barker in the lead role.
The first series of Open All Hours premiered in 1976 on BBC2. The programme returned to television in 1981, this time on BBC1. The final two series also aired on BBC1, in 1982 and 1985 respectively. In all, 25 episodes were broadcast after the pilot, plus a comedy sketch that appeared in a 1982 Christmas special called The Funny Side of Christmas.
The pilot episode was directed by James Gilbert, and all subsequent episodes were directed by Sydney Lotterby.[citation needed] Ronnie Barker died in 2005, but in 2013 a sequel titled Still Open All Hours launched on BBC One. Roy Clarke writes the new series, with Dewi Humphreys directing. David Jason reprises his role as Granville, now in charge of the shop.
