Filming is now underway on a new series of Still Open All Hours, the popular revival of classic sitcom Open All Hours.

Joining Sir David Jason once again are original cast members Lynda Baron, Stephanie Cole and Maggie Ollerenshaw.

Also back are new regulars James Baxter, Tim Healy, Johnny Vegasm Kulvinder Ghir and Brigit Forsyth.

The new series stars with a Christmas special in which Granville (Jason) bags himself a bargain Christmas tree which gives him some unexpected problems.

Meanwhile Eric (Vegas) and Cyril (Ghir) embark on a new fitness regime and, as the holidays approach, Granville and Leroy (James Baxter) try to entice Madge (Brigit Forsyth) to their festive party.

Executive Producer Gareth Edwards says: “It‘s wonderful to be returning with our fantastic cast to Granville’s daft, warm and life-affirming world, full of the kind of characters and situations that could only come from the remarkable mind of Roy Clarke.”
