"'''Fig Biscuits and Inspirational Toilet Rolls'''" is the third episode of ''[[Open All Hours]]'' [[Open_all_hours#Episode_list|second season]]. |
|||
== Plot == |
|||
Arkwright ([[Ronnie Barker]]) has to sell two products that he is overstocked, [[Fig Newtons|fig biscuits]] and "inspirational [[Toilet_paper|toilet rolls]]" that have quotations to cheer up the users. His best technique is to hide Granville ([[David Jason]]) in the [[cellar]] and talk to Mavis ([[Maggie Ollerenshaw]]) as the "[[spirit]] of a [[Victorian_era|Victorian]] shopkeeper" that advises her to buy a dozen "inspirational toilet rolls". |
|||
Alas, Arkwright falls into the cellar and breaks his leg, but at least he has Nurse Gladys Emamnuel ([[Lynda Baron]]) to look after him with a real health condition. |
|||
== Notes == |
|||
Granville's handwritten sign at the shop's window: "HELP, I'M BEING HELD A PRISONER AGAINST MY WILL" |
|||
One of the "inspirational toilet rolls" quotes: "Don't forget that yesterday was the tomorrow you worried about the day before yesterday". |
|||
This episode features one of Arkwright's strangest customers: an [[English sheepdog]]. |
|||
== Quotes == |
|||
*Six smokers come into the store and buy their "usual": |
|||
**Arkwright: Just t-throw the papers on the floor, Gentlemen, my assistant will sweep them all up later, and if he sweeps up a pair of lungs the owner can come and get them later. |
|||
*Arkwright's commercial pitch to Mrs Blewitt ([[Kathy Staff]]). She buys the fig biscuits: |
|||
**Arkwright: The connection between the fig biscuit and honourable womanhood. Don't ask me to explain it, Mrs. Blewitt, but you show me a grocery list without a fig biscuit and I will show you a housewife of doubtful moral rectitude. |
|||
*Arkwright and Mavis: |
|||
**Arkwright: Scotch Broth, Mavis, that's very exotic? I haven't got a small [[Tin_cans|tin]], I'll only have a large tin. |
|||
**Mavis: Oh... |
|||
**Arkwright: I can't cut it in half Mavis. It all f-flops out. Tell you what. I'll sell you a large tin but I'll only charge you for two small tins. |
