Open All Hours (2004) is The Hamsters ninth album. It was recorded during a hectic touring schedule June/July 2003.

The band's notorious self-deprecating humour came to the fore with the artwork for this particular album. It featured several pictures of famous movie stars and classic British comedy stars with heads being replaced (and not always in a flattering manner) by members of the band. The whole booklet was designed to represent the walk from the box office to the screen of an old-fashioned British flea-pit cinema.

Slim has stated that this will most likely be the last CD release by The Hamsters and that all subsequent releases will be on the DVD format.
