Pinewood Studios has named a new road on the lot after TV legend Sir David Jason. The actor has recorded all six series of the family favourite Still Open All Hours with Pinewood TV. The new road will be called ‘David Jason Way’.
The actor, and national treasure, attended the private opening ceremony with members of the production team from the show.
It is such a thrill to have a road named after me at the iconic Pinewood Studios. As a teenager and out on a day trip on my motorbike, I remember looking through the gates of Pinewood and thinking how wonderful it must be to work there, never realising that one day I would. It really is a special moment to be honoured in this way.

Still Open All Hours is the sequel to popular sitcom Open All Hours in which Jason first played Granville, starring alongside the late Ronnie Barker who played his uncle, Albert Arkwright. In Still Open All Hours David Jason continues to play Granville after inheriting the shop from his uncle.
Sarah McGettigan, Head of Pinewood TV, said,
“We are delighted to honour Sir David Jason with his own road. He is part of the heritage of Pinewood TV and we always enjoy welcoming him back. The new road is part of the development of the original Studio site and runs from opposite our TV studios towards two of our brand new purpose-built stages.”
David Jason also shot TV miniseries, The Colour of Magic (2008) from Terry Pratchett’s fantasy series ‘Discworld’ at Pinewood Studios and The Odd Job (1978) at Shepperton Studios.
