Not on the box right now

It's not streaming anywhere in the UK at the moment. Specials often pop back up in December, so check again nearer the big day.

Welcome back to the little grocer's shop in Doncaster, where the tills clang, the prices rise and the old ways never die. Nobody could fill Arkwright's shoes, but Granville, now running the shop himself, gives it a good go. In this one-off Boxing Day pilot, he's trying to wangle a date with old flame Mavis, while his son Leroy flatly refuses to ride the old delivery bike. David Jason is the star, and the gentle Roy Clarke humour is the main attraction here. It's the sort of cosy comedy you can watch with your slippers on and a tin of biscuits to hand.
