It wasn't immediate, taking the BBC some time after "Porridge" concluded to discover another sitcom that could properly utilize Ronnie Barker’s abilities. Eventually, in 1976, they brought him back together with producer Sydney Lotterby and Roy Clarke, who was behind “Last of the Summer Wine,” for "Arkwright." The show features Barker as a stammering shop owner from Yorkshire whose stinginess would rival that of "Scrooge.” He's quite taken with the local nurse, "Gladys" (played by Lynda Baron), while simultaneously attempting to shield his live-in nephew and assistant, "Granville" (brought to life through David Jason’s consistently impressive performances), from the temptations of a lavish lifestyle. Additional roles are filled by Barbara Flynn as the milk delivery woman—whose presence causes “Granville” considerable distress—along with Stephanie Cole ("Mrs. Feathestone") and Kathy Staff (“Mrs. Blewett”), both notably thrifty. The ensemble cast interacts effectively, creating believable characters that draw humor from Northern English stereotypes. Some of the jokes haven't aged perfectly given shifts in societal views; however, Clarke’s writing always seemed to mock sexism, racism, and ageism while still providing opportunities for Barker and Jason to generate laughs. The series was essential viewing for nearly a decade and remains enjoyable now.
