"Needs fine-tuning"
Open All Hours needs fine tuning because it gets a bit boaring. Fawlty Towers is a bit better.

"Classic"
I like Open All Hours. I have been watching it since it first started in 1976. I liked Arkwright by Ronnie Barker because he was one of my favorite characters in the show as he always used to stutter.
