Open All Hours
Season One, Episode One - 20 Feb. 1976

Stuttering shopkeeper Arkwright, assisted by his much put upon nephew Granville runs the corner shop in a suburb of Doncaster, boasting that it is open all hours. When not pursuing Gladys Emanuel, the district nurse who lives opposite the shop, Arkwright is ever on the look-out to save money, such as buying a load of fire-damaged tinned food. Unfortunately the damage means that all the labels have come off so nobody knows exactly what they are meant to be buying.

"Brisk, no-nonsense British war movie , tersely directed by Michael McCarthy (whose background was in documentary). Tony Britton leads a mission to Amsterdam in the summer of 1940 (the eve of the Nazi invasion) to prevent a valuable stash of industrial diamonds falling into enemy hands. Time is short - the Germans are only hours from town - but Britton and his crew make sure they get the job done. The one real casualty here is characterisation - there's such an onus on keeping the narrative moving that we get precious little chance to learn what makes the heroes tick. Adapted by the director and John Eldridge from the book Adventure in Diamonds by David E Walker." Time Out
