@@stephensnell5707 Also , John Sullivan said he loved writing for ''The Trigger character'' . Bet that upset you as well . Here's some information that will blow your mind - Trigger was a CHARACTER , portrayed by an actor . Got it ? Good.
@@Kraggypandapops Yep ver sad. Met a guy on holiday once who's impression of Boycie was so remarkable if you closed your eyes and listened to it you'd actually believe John was sat next to you. We kept in touch with him and have nicknamed him Boycie ever since
@ell arr ess Look carefully at Roger (Trigger), after he makes his comment about Ghandi. He's trying hard not to laugh. I wonder how many takes that scene took to film.
I would like to have a friend like "Trigger". He might be a bit behind, with the conversation, but his heart is in the right place. He was a good friend to Del Boy, and Rodney, and the North London branch of the Trotter family, who were Del Boy's cousin Stan, Stan's wife, Jean, and Great Uncle Albert, in Strained Relations, when it was Grandad Trotter's funeral. He opened the Trotter family's flat, whilst Del Boy was paying the vicar.
Don’t forget Denzil, Mike the barman and Boycey too in this clip. Wonderful ensemble acting, great characterisation & brilliant writing. Quality like this doesn’t come around to often. Ken Dodd said good comics are liked but great comics are loved. I’m sure all us fans relive the joy each time we view the episodes.✊
I know, it took him a few seconds to realize what Trigger said and then he even repeats "Ghandi?" thinking he may have misheard him. Very realistic, as when people say something so random like that it usually takes people a few seconds to process what they said. My sister often gets words mixed up, she once said "Don't get testicle with me." when she meant technical. Took us a few seconds to realise what she said. All what was missing for us was the laugh track.
@@hayyanazam5854 Brilliant stuff. I could spend all day and not be able to think one funny thing.This writer was some talent and the actors each one of them fitted the characters so well.Can watch it for ever
Gareth Davies If you simply try to act like an idiot, you’ll only come across as a real idiot trying to act. In comedy, you have to act like a very funny idiot, and if you combine the true comedy with the idiot part, you’ll come across as a clever actor, not someone who misses the point...like you have.
Great scripts perfect casting perfect acting, and perfect comic timing. trigger only has to be in a scene and you know he'll come out with a corker of a line
@@mattinfullvision9598, hello, Matt. It's Michael, the friend, who you were chatting to a few months ago, about Only Fools, And Horses. I have found Trigger's birth name, on Wikipedia, when I was searching for their real names, because Del Boy had given them all nicknames, when he was a teenager, and he lived on the Dockside Estate, Peckham, in the 1960s.
Del wanting to leave at the end because he just can’t take it no more, that part is the cherry on top. Such great memories watching this with my dad may he Rest In Peace.
Brilliant writing, Trigger by far had the best lines, legendary British comedy. Superbly played by Roger Lloyd Pack, from the pen of the brilliant John Sullivan. R.I.P.
They couldn't, this was probably take seventeen. I used John 'Boycie' Challis for a radio commercial voice over once. He told me how they would fall about laughing when doing takes. Lovely bloke too.
@@stevegreen9460 Yes 1981 until 2002. An incredibly high standard of writing by John Sullivan. Jim Broadbent, who played DCI Slater, was the original choice for Del Boy. John's idea of Del Boy was someone in jeans with a pot belly. David said that he had seen the character as a partner in an electrical firm. David and friend were electricians and looking for work . He was immaculately dressed with a camel coloured overcoat and was always straightening the shoulders and sleeves of his jacket, Also it made David laugh when this dapper man had a Sarf London accent and was a real wide boy, which did not go with his image.
Hear Hear, i've yet to laugh at BBCs recent offerings, Warren, Dont forget the driver, Mum. For me these are all laughter free zones. OFAH will be remembered for it's brilliant writing and actors.
@Anthony Williams If you truly believe those shows are better than such as OFAH then there's no hope for you and all of your opinions can be safely disregarded
@fus149 Hammer I could not agree more. Also it was clean comedy. Dad's Army and Hi Di Hi were other great series with marvelous ensemble acting, and brilliant scripts by Croft and Perry. The quality of writing is just not as good now.
I watched it always hoping he was in it.!! Words will never do justice to Rodger LLoyd Pack. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe his delivery.
The amazing thing is this is also a commentary on 'progress.'. Then a watch telling where you are in the world was extraordinary. Now, with GPS, we take it for granted.
One of the greatest comedy progammes of all time brilliant writers actors, actresses, trigger so daft but played so well by roger lloyd pack , all legends .
Apart from Del and Rodney,many loved Trigger,Bosie,Marleen.What i loved was the fact that some other wonderful characters were introduced that i feel could have been given more airtime.Two that spring to mind are Mental Mickey and Shadow.
Oh what fantastic happy, crying with laughter, memories. That many people laughing their heads off when this was on TV must have caused seismic vibes on the other side of the world.
Yes but you can see just after he made the Ghandi comment, there's a slight smile on his face and he's trying not to laugh. This scene must have had a few bloopers I reckon.
Can’t imagine anyone else playing Trigger. The face and timing is perfect.
Trigger had the fewest lines to say in each episode, but he got the most laughs, genius writing, and comedic timing from him was legendary god rest his soul...
Cheers Dave.
Roger Lloyd Pack was a master at character comedy... great timing and perfect deadpan delivery.
RIP Roger
I liked him in The Vicar of Dibley
How could anybody not love Trigger. One of the greatest comedy characters
They are Actors NOT characters
They are actors played by REAL LIFE PEOPLE
he reminds me of the 'i'll get my coat' character from The Fast Show.
He was brilliant in the vicar of dibbly with his magnificent farting duck.

Can't ever see comedy shows like this ever being made again .each episode was a classic in its own way ..
I love the look on Triggers face when everyone leaves him at the table.
"I thought you said they worked 24hours? "
Trigger: " Yes! But not at nights!"
😂🙌
Top class
Augustin Berishaj that was a classic episode 😂
Actually the line was , Del Boy "I thought you said it was open 24 hours" Trigger " Yeah , but not at night "

@@johnruby147 for me is one of the funniest lines. along with grandad's "did you drop it?" re: the chandelier
Omg John Sullivan is absolutely brilliant. The guys a genius. This wipes the floor with the Hollywood rubbish. Really does
That’s the thing Hollywood is all about the glitz and glamour but there’s no genius in it like there is for comedy writing (especially British humour)
There's some really good ones that rely on wit and characterisation, like National Lampoon's Vacation, Trading Places and Used Cars.
It sure does. And every character plays their part superbly
Great comedy
@@Maxmorris12 I've had more laughs at a funeral than you get in American attempts at comedy, childish playground humour at its best
Was a genius .
Just the little touch in Rodney carrying on whilst his mind works out what trigger said, and then responding to it. Makes all the difference lol
Yes Nicholas was brilliant. His stare was hilarious and he had great comic timing.

How did they not laugh at the Ghandi line? Absolute class!😂
Watch David Jason's expression just prior to Roger delivering those immortal lines. He knew what was coming.
I love Trigger! He has so many funny moments in the show.
that ghandi line i never really got it to start with...but the more i watch it the more it makes sense and cracks me up. rip JS

The genius of Roger Lloyd pack, never be replaced, so so funny
Remembering, one man, John Sullivan, wrote all these 64 incredibly funny episodes over 22years. Not a team, just one. Just letting that sink in.
Nobody came close to the brilliant Trigger.
Yes he was briliant but John Sullivan script was outstanding
he was... "unique".
@@stefjevtic The greatest comedy actor of all time
True
All perfect characters in they're own right.
John Sullivan was a true genious trigger was brilliant they all were ❤❤❤
Some great lines, and a lot of great reaction comedy from everyone here. Just a joy to watch
It always amazed me how the rest of the cast were able to keep a straight face when Trigger came out with stuff like that.
They couldn't, this was probably take seventeen. I used John 'Boycie' Challis for a radio commercial voice over once. He told me how they would fall about laughing when doing takes. Lovely bloke too.
Only fools and horses one of my best British comedies so happy I got boxset it's nice to go back to watch it when you like legends guys 😂😊😅

Watch it again and again and never stop laughing. Hilarious
How the hell do they keep a straight face when trigger opens his mouth with that! Absolutely brilliant British comedy
Trigger steals every single scene he's in , quite simply because you know it's coming and you're waiting for his words of wisdom.

He did. A lot of the episodes were based on his real life experiences
Absolute genius writing and these lads pull it of to perfection!!! Absolutely hilarious!! Trigger you were a legend mate!!
