What We Think

Still Open All Hours is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to classic comedy tropes with little ideological meddling. It’s your standard, old-school British sitcom: cozy, inoffensive, and more focused on gags than grandstanding. A rare treat for those tired of every show making a political statement.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Still Open All Hours sticks to its tried-and-true comedic formula, focusing on the quirks of small-town life and character-driven humor. Identity factors are not emphasized over personality or role, and there is little sign of forced representation or agenda-driven storytelling. It's more about laughs and less about lecturing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely embraces traditional British values, poking fun at but ultimately celebrating family, community, and old-fashioned shopkeeping. Masculinity is treated as endearingly awkward rather than toxic, and there's no attempt to undermine religion, family roles, or historical context. It's as non-woke as they come in modern TV.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the worldview is quaint and old-school, the show doesn't go out of its way to pillory alternative perspectives. Traditional ways are gently ridiculed for laughs but never villainized. There’s an absence of heavy-handed moralizing, and everyone’s allowed to be a bit silly.
