I heard he was traveling with the queen on a cart pulled by one of the queens horses when the horses tail lifted and it let out a massive loud and long fart. "Oh my lord, I am awfully sorry about that" ... said the queen in her posh voice "Das alrite darlin, I thought it was thee horse" Del replied
Speaking of photo's and OFAH. This is a true story as well, but the episode of Del hang gliding was filmed Near Portsmouth opposite Queen Elizabeth country park on butser hill. During fillming my cousin was there just randomly and had a camera on him....which at the time was just lucky cause unlike now where we all have cameras on our phones, he was able to get pictures of David and Nicholas on the hill and the van being taken off the flatbed truck. Anyway, my cousin had a accident ages ago and was in a wheelchair and he even met David, at the time my cousin had a Ford with a sun roof which at the time the car had only just been released and as they were talking they all got on. The line in the episode where del said "I fell on a courting couple and had to pay for their sun roof" was a tweak to the script.
Even though though these few episodes put a downer on the trotters dreams, it was great to say bye to uncle albert and to see Rodney and Cassandra as parents finally.❤
Yes, I really like these specials. It's always nice to watch these episodes. But I wouldn't say it's bad luck. It's more stupidity. I mean, why would you invest all your money in Central America? They also tried to cheat the Inland Revenue by sending bouncy cheques.
As funny as they could be, I honestly hate what these episodes did, the series ended happily, the boys were millionaires, they walked off into the sunset but these episodes ruined that happy ending
The point is, once they got rich, the whole sitcom was eventually finished. The whole thing that made only fools and horses funny was their dreams of becoming millionaires, once that happened the show was ruined
They were still funny though & I enjoyed them. I agree it would have been better to end it for good on the Time on our hands episode. It was a perfect ending .
@@caseyfalconer7347 I used to think that, but the point of these endings was to prove that they never needed the money after all to be happy, so it ended on a more symbolic note.
It's a little known fact but Tessa is/was married to actor Douglas Hodge, the guy who played their grown up son Damien in the other special episode where Rodney played the servant.
John Sullivan had set up the return of OFAH at the end of 'Time on Our Hands', Del was clearly restless after becoming a millionaire. Waiting five years was always the plan.
There was always suposed to be more episodes, Sulivan said so, the ending of TOOH where they walk into the sunset was suposed to transition into a cartoon animation but he felt that would kill any chance to come back so he changed it, some people just want to hate for no reason, there probably would have been more if he was still with us but nobody wanted to do it without him so c'est la vie 🥃
Madness the show didn’t continue. Probably cos of the David Jason etc not willing too. But this show should have had another 50 episodes and it wouldn’t have spoilt it. The best and the greatest on screen duo and the best in uks history of tv. Absolutely.
I, find these later episodes difficult to accept. Why look for investments when you have 6.5 million in the bank? The interest 1 million would accrue is more than enough to maintain their new lifestyle. Luckily or unluckily Del and Rodney's significant others stuck around, after the money was gone. Still, it is fiction only. Response to video only.
It's the godfather syndrome.. 2nd godfather.surpassd the first..the 3rd ..a bridge way 2 far.. luckily like the GF..only fools..is legendary..these episodes wo.nt could never define these masterpieces..
These were the worst episodes of Only Fools I preferred when Del was the wheeler deeper cockney diamond geezer from Nelson Mandan’s house selling tat from a suitcase in Shepards Bush and driving his three wheeled van with Roders and Grandad he’d always park on a yellow and put a notice saying midwife on call on the dashboard
Yeah, back in 2001 when no-one had heard of political correctness, even though it was a term from the 1980s and actually everyone had heard of it, and there were tiresome bores like you around at the time complaining about the same thing …
program went downhill when the women became involved Alien versions of only fools and horses with just the two of them and grandad left by far better time as a series
@@CricketEngland I’m saying the series as a whole is underrated. Those two are classics but there’s others in that series that aren’t appreciated as much as they should be
@@ronburgundy8423 it’s not funnier than Inside Number 9 The Office The Cleaner Mister Winner The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk Ghost Bloods Mandy All made well after this episode
That photo of Del with the queen was taken when she wanted to thank him for the 3 Trotters that are still hanging in Buckingham Palace to this day
He met her to make sure her friends got the message that they wanted that £5 that Grandad said they were coming back for in touch of glass 😂
@caseyfalconer7347 To pick up the fiver she owes him😂

Every time I watch these clips, I forget and think I’m watching a full episode then realise oh it’s just a RUclips clip haha. Happens a lot.
I KNOW THE SCRIPT BUT I STILL WATCH IT,,, NOW THATS COMEDY
Yet. This trilogy does also feel fitting. It does capture the horror of how rich people can suddenly go bankrupt because of extreme bad luck.

brilliant comedy
This time *LAST WEEK* we were Millionaires ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC STUFF
These episodes shouldn’t have been made. It should have left alone after the 1996 finale.
I absolutely agree.
Agree
As funny as they could be, I honestly hate what these episodes did, the series ended happily, the boys were millionaires, they walked off into the sunset but these episodes ruined that happy ending
The point is that Del and Rodney would never be able to keep it, Del especially is always reaching for more because he's a yuppie
The point is, once they got rich, the whole sitcom was eventually finished. The whole thing that made only fools and horses funny was their dreams of becoming millionaires, once that happened the show was ruined
Should of ended when they got the watch money wasn’t funny after that spoilt lots of good memories just my opinion
But of course. Because it became the most popular and best made British Sitcom ever. John Sullivan never heard the end of it.
Agreed - the ending where they walk off and Del says “this time next year we’ll be BILLIONAIRES “ that was pure perfection.
Lots of greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷❤
Hi Croatia! How exotic...to me 😊 Everyone around the world needs a good laugh 😂 Seattle, Washington, USA
The 2001-2003 episodes should never have happened. At least the 2003 episode ended on a happy note.
They were still funny though & I enjoyed them. I agree it would have been better to end it for good on the Time on our hands episode. It was a perfect ending .

In fairness though, this would of been another comedy’s golden years just shows how good it was
The good old days back before the world was ruined by the wokey jokeys.
