Is it going to be a period piece? Will seem a bit strange if it's a contemporary setting seeing as there aren't really department stores like that any more. But then there's Still Open All Hours...

No, the publicity surrounding the series has mentioned it would be a modern adaptation and while there isn't as many department stores as there were in the 70s, they still exist, which I'd hope would be reflected in the new series.

I wouldn't say any of them are in the old fashioned Grace Brothers mould really though, are they?

It's just a one off, which if it's reception is like 'Open All Hours' might get a run.

Isn't it more that writers are going elsewhere with their new material because they feel that the BBC can't offer them the creative freedom they want?
