British Comedy Guide, 20th September 2020

David Jason is back as smart-talking grocer Granville in the sixth series of this nostalgic reboot. The family cornershop might be a rarity now - especially with the looming logistics chaos of Brexit - so the warm sepia tint of Still Open All Hours feels all the more necessary; a soothing balm of fictionally better times. There is the continuing slapstick of Gastric's relationship with Madge and shop assistant Leroy's romantic woes with Beth, but it's Jason's comic timing that steals the show.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd May 2018

Writer Roy Clarke sustains his blend of gentleness and pathos as David Jason stars in a fourth series of the revived comedy. Granville has learned to charm the ferocious Arkwright cash register, but is in other respects turning into his late uncle - at times bordering on impersonating him - while his passions for Mavis are thwarted by Mr Newbold and Mrs Featherstone. There are larks as Eric and Cyril venture out on their tandem.
