New series of still open all hours

It's really bad im not a fan the days of that kind of comedy are sadly over and there have been many attempts to bring stuff like this back and it never works

I think it's because it isn't timeless comedy. It just fitted with the time.

Even I lived/understand that era, and saw very few similarities to modern life, and more importantly that there weren't any funny lines, which made it a complete flop, I thought.

bold: It rarely works, but it brings in viewers I suppose for the people that watched the original thing.

If Fawlty Towers for example was remade, I think it would be a disaster, and perhaps potentially ruin a classic [shorter] series.

I'd watch it though, so I can't really complain. I think it's just cheap TV really.

Correct that's what it is cheap TV. ! Also these modern actors don't have the timing of the original actors.

not very good at all .

Having to watch this as the wife's mother needs entertaining. Jeez, do they employ a dtunken audience or what? There is nowt even mildly amusing, yet the studio audience laughter is over flipping whelming!

Haha! Superb MTB.

Well they tried a remake of Porridge. FLOP. I hope they dont try to remake owt else like Steptoe for example. They will come a cropper.

Watched one episode of still open all hours and David Jason looked so uncomfortable without Ronnie beside him. Should never have tried remaking that program
