Open All Hours (BBC2) by Roy Clarke, the everyday story of a grocer's shop, is a comedy series of considerable charm.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 6th March 1976I hadn't, as it happens, seen the excellent little comedy by Roy Clarke, which replaced the advertised Comedy Playhouse, as unmade as a bed. The best television, well one kind of best, isn't going anywhere. It sits and sort of steams at you in a rich and redolent way.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 17th July 1974By not bothering to get up on Monday and Friday, one could avoid Opportunity Knocks and Miss World. No small bonus. Bonuses? Yes, well. This theory of the good life is rather thrown out of true by Last of the Summer Wine (BBC1), a new, mellow and gorgeous comedy series.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 20th November 1973The Last of The Summer Wine by Roy Clarke in the Comedy Playhouse Series struck me as a delightful straight play. And I could have wished that something would strike the woman in the studio audience, who thought she was watching The Comedians.
