SIR David Jason has reprised his role as shopkeeper Granville for a one-off special of popular sitcom Open All Hours.

In the Christmas programme Granville now owns the corner shop, formerly owned by Ronnie Barker's character Arkwright, pictured left with a younger Jason.

The show uses the same location as in the original series, a hair salon in Balby, Doncaster.

Jason will be reunited with actress Lynda Baron, who played nurse Gladys Emmanuel, in the half-hour special, Still Open All Hours.

"I'm really excited," said Jason.
