    It's gotten to the point where I've started **** furiously and sobbing uncontrollably when the obligatory 12 episode run on this appears on Christmas day.

    This and the royal family (tv show) should be banned.

    I only watched one episode of Royle family. Didn't get it.

    Easily one of the most overrated shows in T.V history.

    It's right up there with seinfeld, friends and the office.

    I really wish Netflix would bring the whole Only Fools and Horses enterprise to their streaming service...and not just 2 seasons+ Christmas specials

    Every time I hear this theme song...it brings a certain warmth to my heart ...be it on Netflix or Cable

    It's a bit of a divisive show. It's the televisual equivalent of gammon & pineapple.

    Pity this sort of comedy is no longer available.

    Can't find the clip on you tube quickly but I always liked the scene where Del negotiates witness protection and immunity to prosecution - and then admits to the crime himself.

    Haha the descriptions of the suspect from the three lads was just so daft. A seven foot dwarf who's black and Caucasian with oriental features and had a deaf aid. That's not the full description but that's most of them.

    There are just so many brilliant scenes from only fools. The one where boycie and Marlene want to adopt the German girls baby and it turns out the baby is black. Boycies speech which he says without stopping is just genius. And that scene goes from very funny to them showing the serious side of not being able to have kids. It was a great thing the show had. It could switch from very funny to very serious when it needed to.

    The episode with the Chinese takeaway and the liminous paint which trigger borrowed which was used to paint signs in tunnels. And del tells the owner it's energy saving paint.

    If it's not clear only fools and horses is one of my most favourite shows ever and I have great memories of watching it with my grandfather years ago. I just find it very funny.

    The inflatable sex dolls episode is one of my favorites, especially when they try to get them out of the flat and they bump into a neighbor.

    There’s a great Trigger moment in that one and I can’t find it on YouTube.

    The bus stops off for lunch and most of the lads have a few beers... including the bus driver :pac:

    Anyway, the driver is being carried onto the bus -

    Trigger: “What’s wrong with him?”
    Mike the barman: “What’s wrong with him?! Snow blindness is my bet Trig!”
    Trigger: “Really? I thought he was pissed”

    An Interesting fact from Only fools and Horses. The jolly boys outing the scene with the three boyos booking into the Villa Bella there is a door on the left that the Irish women who shows them to their room comes out of. There was a scene were the lads actually go in there to the dining room that was cut.

    I love the Jolly boys outing episode. The one about Rodney's father in law who if you're a big fan of the show you know is a martyr for the jellied Eels. Well in the episode when they go to the nightclub he isn't there. He copped an unfortunate Welk according to Boycie. It's a funny call back to an earlier episode.

    Rodney's father in law

    Rodneys father in law (actor Denis Lill) was in a BBC show called Survivors in the 70s. It was fantastic - a post apocalpytic world where most of the population had been wiped out by a virus. He played a handsome character who was popular with the ladies.

    I saw it years after I was already an Only Fools and Horses fan. I never would have recognised him.

    The Wendy house line from that episode where Rodney and mickey pierce set up a business from grandad was supposed to be a phrase used for a very good line even after the actor Leonard Pearce died.

    I don't know what others think about the additions of Racheal(or Rachel as uncle Albert called her once)and Casandra to the show. I think they were logical additions as the lads got older. I'm not as down on the return episodes as some. The ending at the end of the episode where they got some money for the Victorian egg timer(haha) was a nice ending but it was just such a del and Rodney thing to make a balls of it.

    Del's movie plot: There is a Rhino Loose in the City from Video Nasty



    Uncle Albert & the lads lost in the north sea from To Hull and Back




    The Bachelors scene from It's Only Rock and Roll

    Where Del plays the Bachelors in the background while striking a deal with a club to have Rodney's band play a gig on Paddy's night.

    Oh I've just remembered one of the funniest moments and one where it showed Rodney laughing genuinely. It's the singer who can't pronounce his R's. " A melody of wock and woll..." :D:D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,199 ✭✭✭artvanderlay


    The entire episode of Friday the 14th. I love that it's just the three of them, no pub, none of the regular supporting characters or settings, and it's still so funny: my favourite episode, I've watched it so many times. The ending with Del trying to hustle a homicidal maniac/axe-murderer for a few quid by playing imaginary pool just sums Del up to perfection: even with his life on the line, his instinct is still to turn a profit :pac:


    For me, it was never the same after granddad died. I loved Lennard Pearce, what an actor. I still use his line occasionally "it's not my fault, it's my brain" :D There were some really good episodes after he died, but it wasn't the same to me, and then when they brought in Cassandra and Raquel, it just seemed to get a lot less funny. From the later series the bit where Del is forced to go hang-gliding stands out, especially Rodney's smugness when Del realises Rodney has double-crossed him in revenge.

    Any scene with Trigger was comedy gold too:)

    There are some great lines in the Wendy House episode. They couldn't keep straight faces doing some of them
