This Christmas special served as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of classic sitcom Open All Hours and also as an introduction to the sequel series, once again written by Roy Clarke. David Jason heads the cast as Granville, who has inherited the shop from his beloved Uncle Arkwright and is now helped out by his own son Leroy. Granville tries to secure a date with old flame Mavis without her terrifying sister Madge finding out - meanwhile, Leroy refuses to use the old delivery bike and comes up with an altogether more attractive way to deliver the orders.
