 BBC - Comedy Guide - Open All Hours
However, the show's lead character - the stuttering, miserly, lustful shopkeeper Arkwright - was the invention of actor/writer Ronnie Barker; Clarke developed the equally strongly drawn contrasting characters, created the plots and wrote the scripts, imbuing them with the naturally humorous linguistic rhythm that is his trademark.
A comic actor par excellence, Ronnie Barker's performance as the old-fashioned Arkwright was wonderfully judged, with the stutter used to fine comic effect and not over-used for cheap laughs.
A few complaints were registered over the humorous use of a speech impediment but Arkwright was so amiable and the humour so good-natured that it was deemed by most people to be a portrayal without malice.
