We have an old saying... 'Look after your broom'. 'And your broom will look after you?' No Dave, it's just - 'Look after your broom'. Great writing. Great acting.
Roger Lloyd Pack was a seriously underrated actor. He was actually super smart. Only a smart actor can play as a stupid character. Legend!!! RIP Roger Lloyd Pack
I had privilege watching all british comedy in Yugoslavia because yugoslavian national tv-broadcaster bought everything from BBC and never dubbed anything, that shaped my sense of humour...
Never liked his character he played Boycie. Just stayed friends with the others to look down on them. My favourite moment was when Rodney bought the Rolls Royce for Del and the look on his face in Time on their hands.
If only he were around to realise this, if i were in his shoes i'd love to see how my character became the face of the paradox (Not sure if that makes sense, if this comment is still here tomorrow then it probably does)
@@Fireglo He passed almost 6 years ago, as far as i'm aware there are no "trigger's broom" references in relation to the Ship of Theseus paradox with any sort of noticable publicity before he died
@@Ben-ht2cv what do you consider "noticeable publicity" exactly? It was mentioned in most obituaries as it was already a popular joke and was voted number 10 in Top 10 Only Fools and Horses moments well before he died.
Without a doubt one of the most iconic sketches in British comedy history. Right up there with Four Candles and the Dead Parrot sketch. Trigger called Rodney Dave for over 20 years and it never got tired. The quality of the physical acting is also at the highest level. Roger Lloyd-Pack could say more with an expression than most actors with a line of dialogue. Same of course with Del Boy falling through the bar. If you look back through the greatest British comedy shows it's often the physical acting that stands out. John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder, Joanna Lumley in Ab Fab, Fry and Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster. You can watch any of these sketches a thousand times and they never get old. RIP Roger.
Also, RIP Roy Heather (20 May 1935 - 3 September 2014) - well remembered for playing cafe owner Sid. Even though the roles offered were sadly small, Roy showed versatility and displayed screen presence - such as the assassin Lowe in the 1985 tv series Edge of Darkness. Thanks for the memories Roy.
@@AmberPandaSid: “‘Ere, why didn’t you ask me to do the sandwiches?” Del: “ Well, the answer is perfectly simple, Sid. We intend to eat ‘em.” Sid: “ fair enough.”
This scene is pure comedy gold. So many good lines in just 3 minute. I wouldnt go that far line still cracks me with same intensity like first time i watched it. Just brilliant.
Trig was a superb actor. RIP Roger. We have kids that are sometimes moody teens. To snap them out of it I always put this clip on. It turns the mood to laughter straight away. Thanks Trig and the other extremely talented cast. Also to John who was the writer RIP
The funniest sitcom of all time, everyone talked about it at work/in the pub the next day, week, month and went over the best lines again.This is one of the best ever scenes, and to this day people of a certain generation still refer to 'Trigger's broom'.
This series is nothing short of genius!!!! I was born in 1982 so was fortunate to to have watched early repeats, shows that were on and some classic specials!!!!! Had some great family moments all sitting round howling at only fools and horses..!
Trigger was an absolute genius! He didn't even need to act. His expression and body language said it all. Poor Linda still crying because he didn't invite her to the hotel with him🤣🥳
To save anyone else googling! "The Ship of Theseus" is a thought-provoking philosophical paradox and a famous topic of discussion in metaphysics. It raises questions about identity and change. The paradox goes like this: Imagine a ship, known as the Ship of Theseus, that over time has had all of its wooden parts replaced with new ones. Eventually, every single part of the ship has been replaced. Is it still the same ship, or has it become a completely different entity?
@@AM2K2 The answer depends on whether the vessel/broom/computer/etc has the same registration number. This also applies to cars and their VINs (not "VIN Number" as that just means "Vehicle Identification Number-Number", a grammatical redundancy). As long as the VIN is the same/is preserved, legally it's the same car.
A classic scene. It takes nearly three minutes to set up the punchline (much like Ronnie Corbett's monologues) where there are 9 other smaller jokes to keep the viewers engaged. Even though we all know the joke is coming, it's still funny. So much so that I'd love to be able to go back in time and watch all these episodes for the first time.
Roger Lloyd-Pack was a classically-trained actor; he'd appeared in many Shakespeare plays. Comeic acting is difficult for all sorts of reasons, one of which is the subjectivity of the audience. roger Lloyd-Pack was a master of his craft.
Something that always gets overlooked is the fact that Boycie, who clearly has money and some form of success, is still hanging around the same pub and cafe as the likes of del and trigger. Part showing off, part he doesn't fit in with the upper classes as much as he wants too preferring to be the one above everyone in the group.
I wouldn't say he was rich he came from the same background as del did, owns a second hand car dealership of witch most of the cars are Dodgy and has some very shady associates, yes he has a bit of money but no he was never "rich" he just liked to act as if he was
well yeah, a liquid millionaire working class guy is always going to end up in the same street and pub., just lording it. He wont fit in anywhere else. Michael Caine and Tom Jones tried moving classes with money, they failed. Loads of birds though.
Sullivan said in his books. Del and Rodney always had aspirations to get rich, but never forgot where they came from. Boycey on the other hand was just a working class snob, who looked down at his old friends.
I thought Trigger's best scenes were the ones about calling Rodney Dave at the tenants meeting and for the baby name. But this is unbelievable! My new favorite
Apparently the UK ( one of only two still flying) Lancaster has just had a new tail made and fitted. When I read about this it brought back memories of Triggers Broom. The Lancaster has different engines, new tail, various other parts have been made for it over recent years. It's highly doubtful that there are any original parts still left. I suggest it be renamed Triggers Lanc!
I remember watching this clip as a kid.. still brilliant some 20 odd years later! This and the one where they go on a trip to the seaside in a coach and it breaks down and they say along the lines of “how are we going to get there now” and trig says to hitchhike... “but there’s 27! Of us trig”
Wow, hadn't seen this for years and my memory of it was a very short scene with few lines. However there are lots of good lines and the buildup to the punchline is slowly but brilliantly paced. It shows what a fantastic cast of actors they had .Just wonder if David Jasons reaction to the punchline is him losing it or not, that's how great he is!
Just watched an episode of Open all Hours from 1981 and Ronnie Barkers character Arkwright said a very similar thing to David Jason's character Granville about his brush
Along with Fork Handles, along with Don't mention the War, along with Playing all the right notes but in the wrong Order, along with That's another fine Mess you got me into!"
The backstory behind Trigger constantly calling Rodney Dave is as follows: It was never meant for Trigger. However, Roger Lloyd Pack in his early days suffered from rare mental condition that kept him forgetting names of characters around him. At first it really was Lloyd Pack unintentionally doing that, but in time his condition has improved. But, since Dave thing was simply perfect for Trigger, it was simply kept afterwards. In the first episode of the show, when Trigger and Rodney appear together for the first time, Trigger calling Rodney Dave was actually an ad lib by Lloyd Pack. This was confirmed by John Sullivan and Lloyd Pack.
Roger Lloyd Pack was a wonderful actor and very talented. Like Rik Mayall if Roger was in a serious drama in a serious role he pulled it off perfectly. That was truly a sad year since both died a few months of each other
I was a kid when these were out, the older I've got the the more I appreciate how accurate and funny these fantastic actors are/were, credit to the script writers too
@@patagualianmostly7437You're right of course, but I suspect actors had an input too (they often do). In this scene especially, since Ronnie Barker's character Arkwright makes the same joke about a broom in the sitcom Open All Hours (it's in the second series episode 'Laundry Blues', ie before OFAH was even commissioned), so it's likely that the idea came from his co-star David Jason.
This is funnier than the much lauded fall through the bar and dropped chandelier scenes for me. Sid's contribution was short but so well delivered, plus the timing throughout is impeccable. So good 😂 😂
I love the fact that most British people during the WandaVision finale immediately thought of Triggers Broom, including myself. I would pay to see a conversation between Trigger and Vision.
