when the show brought in the wives, etc. it went straight down. Better with the two of thm, and granddad. their uncle was fun too. but not the wives !spoilt everything.
Great show
This is back when the BBC were worth the license fee. No SJW’s, no PC, no biased reporting. Those were the days!
@@jessiejames7492 Absolute pish. The ladies helped develop the characters and the 'Dates' episode was superb.
Frankly I sense some sexism in your past.
@@robertryan6782 not sexist. just think they were better 0ff in the early episodes without the women distractions. love grand dad .. he was just super. to each his own i suppose
"Well we've had worse days" *LMAO*
9wolves2007
Classic British understated humour
Up the wolves!!!
Always cracks me up 😂
This is absolutely the best line of the whole sketch
Talk about the 2001 Christmas Special.
they should have left it at this episode. they never should have lost the money. this was the perfect conclusion to the show.
***** at least we got to hear :˝this time last week we were millionaires!¨
kojbo Lol, true, that was one that made me laugh
kojbo wonky e
what?
Dude, it can be the final conclusion to the show if you want it to be. No one made you watch the others. And the fact that it isn't real life makes it matter even less. Many people loved this show so much that they were glad to get a few extra episodes that they could enjoy before the show retired for good.
Out here in the Balkans this show was an absolute classic. We were so happy Trotters got to be rich. This time next year, Rodney...
I never knew it was so popular there! Shows you how good the writing is and how relatable the characters are. All the best from Dublin in 🇮🇪 👍
Najbolja serija
@@mccarthy5825I'm Serbian from Bosnia and it's my all time favorite show.
@@mccarthy5825very relatable. 😂😂 Our people are like Del and Rodney. And the humor of the show is pretty much similiar we have in Balkan.
Sure we do...go Trotters! 🇷🇸
Brilliant acting by the guy who was the auctioneer. The way he emphasised the 4 million pounds was brilliant
Yeah he's underated in this scene, but his deadpan seriousness just nailed it.
4......million pounds. Dunno why but that pause always enters my head lol
Totally agree, Best line ever spoken in any programme ever
I love it when Dave faints
Trigger, you plonker.
VainEldritch you plonker rodney
“Dave, Why do they call you Rodney”
"Trig, why do you call me Dave? My names not Dave my names Rodney... it says on my birth certificate an all" 😂😂😂
Zahra Chohan love it
The best part is that watch was thrown in the garage in the first episode and they only kept note of it because Rodney wanted to show del he could be a serious partner, so he started doing the finances and made an inventory. Then the almost priceless watch sat there for years during all their ducking and diving and scheming. Brilliant.
Wow never cottoned on to that thank you very much
Genius writer. He knew from day 1 how they would make it. Masterstroke ❤
Every time i see this scene,it makes me cry.. Those who saw every episode of this brilliant show will understand me!
Radek Ivanovic yep
Yeah great...don't know about the cry part but yeah a great show and great to see Del Boy make his millions!
me too bro, me too. priceless
Couldn't agree more Radek. Britain was Great then GB.
You plonker Radek 😂😂😂😂
That “well we’ve had worst days” line was prefect, on the money delivery.
They should have ended it on this episode. Perfect ending.
Totally agree with you
Ditto
Yup
Disagree.
They should have never ended.
Don't make em like that anymore and believe me we could all do with a good laught right now
You can't help but be happy for the Trotter brothers when they get what they have always wanted after trying everything for years. A brilliant climax for a brilliant programme.
Rodneys faint was hilarious- his eyes and how he's talking whilst falling.
"oh bloody hell"
Absolutely
I always thought Rodney mouthed, “4 million pounds!” Before fainting
The chemistry these two had on screen was incredible! They really did act like brothers. God bless Dave Jason and Nick Lyndhurst. 🤩🙏
One of the greatest British comedies of all time. But it should have been laid to rest here. Absolute gold.
Chris Tographer Not one of its the best lol
Agree they should have left it alone when they walked off into the sunset as millionaires. Perfect ending.
If they did HAVE to bring it back they should have kept the money rather than go back to square one. Lots of scope for great storylines of Del trying to mingle with the superrich but still being a commoner at heart.
Agree with that very much!!
I know John Sullivan's thinking was that 'rich people' just arent funny so that why the footage of them in the 2001 episode as millionaires is only about 3 mins long...he wanted to bring them back to square 1 to make those episodes work...but I do agree with you that going down that route could've worked really well! (A bit like in Ace Ventura 2 when he mingles at the elites party...and pokes fun of them!)
You cant have as good a comedy about rich people you cant laugh when you're jealous at the same time that's why most comedy is about poor people.
In reality people who come into a lot of money lose it and it ruins their lives.
@@mindfulclarity169 Why be jealous of those with wealth or power? All stand before the same judge.
"Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."
Or, as Queen Elizabeth I put it:
"To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it."
@@steampowered6883 Same judge lol, that is funny sir
Best tv show of all time
This and the wire
Worst of all time don't you mean? Same jokes basically same script every episode
Tommy Johnson Hey come on, there's no need for that. I disagree with him as well, but being childish doesn't help anyone. Least of all you.
Absolutely
@@adamthedude9655 Only Fools is the best TV show ever
Theres a lesson to be learnt here: Keep going , and never give up....
Or, if you look at the 3 episodes that followed, know when to stop and quit whilst you're ahead.
@@pugilistspecialist70 Just thinking the same thing
Plus working hard gets you nowhere especially in England they just penalize you more
@@bowjana8128 You must be on benefits 😆
@@AJ-cv9zf no worked all my life I just know that working gets you no where
How utterly clever and talented is John Sullivan to have written all the episodes himself. This should have been the ending. All this time they had that watch in the garage was just perfect. The amount of times Del Boy said, “this time next year Rodney, we’ll be millionaires”.
Some of the finest 3 minutes of television I've ever seen. I miss you grandad.
I knew it was fictional, but yet got all teared up and emotional when watching this episode originally!
Everyone was rooting for them.
"I'll buy the sandwiches, Rodney. You bought the Rolls!"
Great writing
i remember i was so happy they have made it finally that it made my eyes tears :)
klesar.hr all those years it was just sitting in the lock up
makes you laugh and cry &
Thanks Raquels dad for finding it
You do know this isnt real, dont you?
@24Ballin buckets8 you can't read that then you're some kind of idiot
@james Well said.
The scene after this,when Del,Rodney and Raquel walk into the Nags Head as millionaires with the lovely soundtrack playing, and everyone clapping is just great. So uplifting.
I watched this when it was first shown over Christmas years ago. I tried so hard not to cry and I looked round and my mum and dad were balling their eyes out!!!!
"Bawling"
I know it was only a television show but the magic in this was how the viewers genuinely rooted for del and rodney. TV magic
"Well, we've had worse days" - Love it xD
Rodney buying the rolls from Boycey was my favourite part!! The look on Boycey face reading the letter!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was just beautifully poetic justice. I just wish they hadn't let Boycie look down his nose at them again in the very next trilogy.
All through the OFAH era the motto was "one day Rodney we will be millionaires" and in my honest opinion in this episode they became millionaires and that`s where it should have ended.
mike travis The motto was 'This time next year, we'll be millionaires'
I stand corrected my friend, thanks.
+mike travis
The premise of your point still remains though, and I totally see where you're coming from.
I agree it should have ended here, was a perfect series up until that point and I didn't want to see them lose the money either, although in the comeback episode Rodney's comment to Del "This time last week we were millionaires" was classic!
It’s easy to say that these days. Back then the clamour for another episode after this was enormous. No regrets.
The way they ended it was really great as well, Uncle Albert's will from the money they earned in this episode was quite fitting and lovely to see.
Uncle Albert, one guy who went down with every ship he sailed on! He the one person who stopped the Trotters from sinking in the end! 🤣😍
@@joshuagrover795 love this comment
Only Fools & Horses should have ended here. It was a fitting ending. I never understood why John Sullivan wrote the script where they lost all the money. It would have been funnier if Del had become even richer and was hobnobbing with the upper class with predictably farcical results. That always made more sense to me.
not for me. i'm glad those 3 were made
We wuzz Miwwionaires...oh oh...!!
I always wondered how to spell 'miwwyonairs'. Fanks for the assist!
😃😃👍
I always wondered how to spell 'miwwyonairs'. Fanks for the arsist!
😃😃👍
Arguably one of the best and funniest episodes of the series...
How can anyone not crack up watching that scene especially when Rodney collapses after Del does..
Only fools and horses gone but not and Never will be forgotten..
Thanks for the great memories and the laughs you've given us over the years...
I echo the views of others who have commented here. As far as I'm concerned, the other series which followed this episode never happened.
eclectica1 what about Rodney’s baby? That was the only thing missing here.
How about we let john sullivan off for good behaviour? Lost 3 big characters in uncle albert, trigger, and mike, still a genious writer, better than any sitcom around today.....oh yeah?? 🤔
Can you smell onions?
You can't forget the gary episode!
@@JackassJunior627 for sure. those 3 episodes (imo) were important. in this episode you could tell del wanted to continue trading.they were never going to keep all that money because we know how unlucky they were through out all the episodes.
in the end rodney got his baby and found out who his real dad was. they got a handsome amount of money from albert. for me, the real fans of OFAH appreciate those final 3 episodes.
there will never ever ever be a comedy show/drama to top this! just the best!!!
Andrew Pheasey porridge , open all hours, bottom....are just as good
I just found out I lost a friend.
This show has lifted my spirit.
Thanks john Sullivan, and all the actors and everyone else involved 💚
Oh so much laughter and joy I have with my grandparents watching this
Brillient script writing, fantasic story lines and above all the perfect cast. This is and will always be timeless, I never get tied of watching all of the episodes.
Above all is the writing, in fairness. Actors are far less important than writers.
Lucky to have had this on our screens. Best comedy ever.
“Well, we’ve had worse days. Haven’t we?”
No matter how many times I watch this scene, that line never fails to have me in splits 😂
This was a perfect moment and it brought a tear to my eye but there was still comedy there. Now the *real* tearjerker was the final episode where Rodney and Cassandra finally became parents.
The scene where Rodney tells Del he named his daughter Joan after their late mum tips me over the edge every time.
This should have been the final ever episode it ended perfectly.
One of the most epic minutes of television history.
Absolutely love how Del faints first at hearing £150.000 but he stays standing when he hears 4 million I really thought both would faint when they heard that figure when I first saw this episode 🤣🤣
Makes me cry everytime haha. One of the greatest shows in history ❤🙌
This is how I want to remember the Trotters. Best scene from the best comedy *ever*
This is the TRUE finale to Only Fools & Horses 💛
I have never watched the one after this, THIS is the real ending.
Yeah but you have everyone's seen the next series
Never will the show be bettered. The build up to this moment in all the serieses and the last trio Priceless.
I have watched many reruns of this series, but it seems that all my life I could watch it every day and I would never be bored, truly magnificent.
The reactions of del boy and Rodney make this one of the greatest and funniest moments in the programme.
The scene was both comedic and touching which OFAH always excelled at. The show had heart , the struggles, hopes, dreaming of the Trotter brothers despite their poverty and plans going wrong in business and love. Tears still spring in my eyes when I watch this scene and of them being applauded in the Nags Head. The only positive from the last 3 eps was baby Joan being born. ❤
"Well, we've had worse days'. Classic and hilarious.
This is prob the best moment in comedy history
The greatest comedy of all time by far. I watch it all the time i never get bored.
The Best tv serie in the world❤❤❤😁😂😆
Well, we've had worse days...
As far as I’m concerned the following series didn’t exist, I just love it ending here . The boys getting whet they deserved . Brilliant brilliant ending
Comedy from a parallel Earth. Priceless.
You can see people in the back of the van rocking it lol
I remember watching this episode and i was praying that the somehow do not end up without money or that watch is not genuine. And when they eventually received money i was so happy for them, like they are my own. I love this show! Greetings from Serbia! Cheers!
One of the best episodes. Love the part where Rodney shows the receipt to Boysie
Classic Comedy Again, the likes of which you don't get today, so thanks and here's to a Safer 2021, XX
"MIDWIFE ON EMERGENCY CALL" LMAO
Yeah at Sothebys
"The bid stands at 4 million pounds"
Lovely Jubbly.
I love how they both faint after the other! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I will always remember sitting on the couch with mum and dad watching only fools and horses brings back beautiful memories
What a fantastic program this was and still is.
Even now I feel a bit emotional/teary, what a great series.
How many times have I seen this.......and I still laugh my socks off.
There has never been a show as funny and clever as this one since!
No comedy show has ever been as hilarious as " only fools and horses". Any two close brothers could see themselves in Del and Rodney.
I'm 14 and this is my fav show ever thanks to my grandad
Awww bless you.. amazing new generation love it too.
No matter how many times you watch it over the yrs you still have to laugh you just can't help yourself one of the best comedy shows that was ever produced by a country mile
Now this IS what you call QUALITY comedy ..... simply one of the all time classics 🏆 🥇 😂
Del boy and Rodders, simply the best!! I absolutely love this show.
Warms my bloody heart every time. So so good.
Classic, Del and Rodney fainting in the bidders Room falling backward like a sack of patatos, lovely chubbly!!
*lovely jubbly*
We will never see their like again, what a show......what a cast...FANTASTIC....
Apparently when they filmed this the whole audience stood up and clapped
Audience? You don't have audiences for british 80s made-for-tv comedies
They do actually, Red Dwarf is an excellent example
i wish they still made comedy like this
Even the sign in the windshield is hilarious. This is one of the most truly perfect hours of comedy ever made
l don't know how you can dislike this. LTE should of ended here because that is how it started. All the talk from beginning was about millionaires. They became it and end of story
Absolutely brilliant all of Only Fools and Horses, love them all, always have and always will. Lovely Jubbly 👍👍👍
This is probably the greatest moment in television history
No matter how many times I’ve watched this scene it never gets old
One of the greatest shows to ever be shown on British television. RIP Archie Lyndhurst!
We all want this to happen!!
Great comedy,best ever.
Del never stopped believing 👍👍👍👍
I can see why people think this should have been the last episode, I don't know about anyone else but it was a sad kind of episode.. after years of graft they finally made it. But I think the point of the follow on series was to show that money isn't everything, they weren't happy, they lost themselves and realised that real riches were with each other in their flat. I think the follow on series was an important message.
Only fools and horses what a classic comedy which will carry on for ever. Love love love it.
This is my headcanon ending to the show. All the ups and downs and finally, gold dust
I remember watching this scene at the time and felt so happy for them, as if they were real people just after
reciving fantastic news.I think we all wanted them to make it after all their disappointments .
This is one of the moments in tv that can never get old
We've had worst days!!! Lolol
The best comedy of all time!! 😂😂😂😂
best thing iv ever watched watching them years never get fed up only one del boy
Lol
I never tire of watching this..
That "YES" moment !!
Love this clip ❤️
I loved the last 3 episodes but if they had found some way of making “This time next year we’ll be billionaires” the last line of Sleepless In Peckham, it would have been perfect.
That was the best clip ever to come from any comedy programme 🤣🤣👍👍
That and four candles will never even get close to ever being beaten comedy perfection
I cry with laughter every single time I watch this 😂 utter gold
