This topic peaked my interest a few months ago when my Public Television Station added "Open All Hours". To my dismay, they took it off the air already. In the old forum I wrote about the similarities between Clarke's characters from various shows. Mr. Arkwright from Open All Hours reminds me of Auntie Wainwright (and not just because of the last name). All, a few months back when watching the rotation of the Seymour Years again I took note of similarities between Edie Pegden and Hyacinth Bucket (of course, not identical).
I am limited in viewing other shows from Clarke. I only ever saw a glimpse of First of the Summer Wine, so I am not the best to judge but here is my top three behind LOTSW. Despite Keeping Up Appearances being a really good show it is...
1. Open All Hours
2. Keeping Up Appearances
3. First pf the Summer Wine
I like Open All Hours so much I might eventually get all the CDs to it as well.
