<P> Arkwright is a pragmatic, miserly man with old - fashioned values, whose world seems to stop at his shop door, except for his uncontrollable lust for Nurse Gladys Emmanuel, which may prompt him on occasion to wander across the road, usually with a ladder, to gain access to her bedroom window . Arkwright is a devious, and mildly dishonest character, who has many crafty tricks to try to persuade a customer to leave his shop having bought at least one thing, and will avoid spending his own money at all costs . He is also very conservative about his savings, keeping some in his pocket wrapped in a fine gold chain, and some in an old, battered Oxo tin that he hides under the kitchen sink . This includes, or so he claims, coins from before 1922, when they were "solid silver". </P> <P> Granville is the son of Arkwright's sister . She died a single mother when Granville was very young, leaving Arkwright to bring up the boy . Arkwright's jokes imply that his sister was promiscuous; he speculates that Granville's father is Hungarian, and was forbidden to marry Granville's mother because she was English . He is often referred to as a "youth" or "young lad", even though Granville is well into his adult years . </P> <P> Granville is shy and awkward, but kind . His priorities differ from those of his uncle . He always feels that life is passing him by . Occasionally, people from Granville's past come into the shop . To Granville, who is ever saddled with his shop duties and bearing his uncle's belittling, their lives seem richer and more fulfilling . </P> <P> When Granville has a fling with the milk woman (played by Barbara Flynn), his uncle is unsupportive . </P>
