Radio Times review
Just like his miserly uncle Arkwright before hi, Granville's dubious money-making schemes inevitably backfire. And no wonder, marketing salami as an erotically charged new product called Yaggis and encouraging "people of low self-cuisine" like Cyril, Wet Eric and Mrs Hussein to buy badly dented cans of chilli beans because "the inverts" change its molecular structure thereby doubling the taste of the contents. "It's getting harder to pull their leg," he muses as he's shutting up for the night.
But he does have success with the shop's antiquated till, which for decades has snapped shut whenever a stray hand is near.
