Trigger warning: for any other sitcom, a six-episode retrospective narrated by Terence Stamp might seem a bit much. But John Sullivan's beloved saga of wheeler-dealing and questionable cocktails occupies a special place in the nation's heart. This opening episode examines the fractious central relationship between the brothers Trotter, with insights from David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and the creme de la menthe of UK comedy.

The BBC treated Only Fools stars as 'poor relations'

Del Boy, Pop Larkin, G-g-Granville... David Jason is pure TV gold and now he's back, aged 76, in Still Open All Hours. 'But don't get me started on BBC salaries,' splutters our f-f-favourite shopkeeper - or swearing, fame and those PC plonkers...

Louise Gannon, Daily Mail, 14th January 2017

As the warm, milky sitcom sequel continues, knackered lothario Gastric (Tim Healy) is still having no luck with the grimly clenched Madge (Brigit Forsyth). David Jason's Granville concocts a plan that has comfortingly familiar comic elements - ladders, silly costumes - so nobody minds if it doesn't really make sense. Elsewhere, it's a torrent of produce-based innuendo, with leeks, custard and bacon rind pressed into
erotic service.
