Open All Hours with Roadshow released "Series One: Episodes 1–3 Comedy Bites" in 2010. In 1984, at which time no new episodes of the series had been produced for two years, a spin-off was proposed based around Lynda Baron's character, Nurse Gladys Emmanuel. Given the working title "Call the Nurse", this spin-off series would have followed Nurse Gladys as she visited various eccentric and demanding patients. The characters of Arkwright and Granville were not written to appear, and Roy Clarke was keen to develop a new set of supporting characters rather than rely on those already built up for "Open All Hours". A
Open All Hours thirty minute pilot was written but did not enter production as the BBC turned down the series; instead, "Open All Hours" returned for its fourth and what would be final series the following year. A sequel, entitled "Still Open All Hours", was created in 2013 by original writer Roy Clarke and featuring several original cast members, including David Jason, Lynda Baron, Stephanie Cole and Maggie Ollerenshaw. On 30 January 2014, the BBC commissioned "Still Open All Hours" for six new episodes beginning on 26 December 2014. The show later returned for a second series, beginning on 26 December 2015. In
