|---|
"The New Suit" is the fourth episode of Open All Hours second season.
Plot
Arkwright (Ronnie Barker) has to buy a new suit, otherwise Nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron)’s won't let him take her out ever again. Arkwright asks Bickerdyke (Emrys James) the tailor to call round, to be fitted for a new suit, although Arkwright is after something off the peg, a bit cheaper.
When Arkwright has his new suit, he struggles to use the zip fly, since he has always used buttons. Nurse Gladys finally takes him to a 'Healing by Hypnotism' meeting where Arkwright has problems with his zip fly. Arkwright leaves the meeting, bent in order to hide the zip fly, as Nurse Gladys is absolutely ridiculed.
Notes
Arkwright manages to get his fingers caught in the till.
Granville (David Jason)'s handwritten sign at the shop's window: "TODAYS " (Audience doesn't see any more)
Granville, angry as Arkwright has ordered him to sweep the pavement when it's raining, does a rendition of Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain.
