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.
I absolutely loved Sid especially when he had a cig in his mouth when dealing with food.
@@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.”
@@limpet7r63 LOL....
20 years, a long time dave. Well it's 2 decades ain't it? I wouldn't go that far LOL
Love it
Believe it or no, I learned English watching only fools and horses . Loved it still love it 😊
Classic trigger
Trigger was such a legend I wish I had a mate like him lol
@@kosovaisalbania3720 that's awesome
"Then how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?"
lol Sid.
Roger Lloyd-Pack, such a brilliant actor, such a tragic loss. RIP mate.

Trigger's suit in the photo is priceless.
As other comments say very underrated actor it's they way he delivers his lines absolutely 24ct gold 😂😂😂😂😂
Priceless.
We have an old saying "LOOK AFTER YOUR BROOM" Rodney "and your broom will look after you" Trigger "NO DAVE! IT'S JUST LOOK AFTER YOUR BROOM! 😂😂
The same broom with 17 new heads and 14 new handles. 😆
Best of the best
Big ghost in the shell vibes here
That gag was done by David Jason and Ronnie barker in open all hours way before fools and horses did it
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
Agreed. RLP was also a very well respected Shakespearean actor.
@@DavidLPeel He also trained at RADA.
He was also excellent in the vicar of dibley
Agreed . He was a great actor. Rip trig
His timing and delivery were absolutely impeccable.
Trigger's Broom is now considered a classic example of an ancient philosophical paradox.
he deserved an MBE at least for maintaining that broom!
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)
@@Ben-ht2cv he was around to realise it. It wasn't that long ago he died.
@@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.

Total, total, total, classic.

@@thehulkster2434 cheers mate
Anyone here because of Wandavision? Theseus ship? Nah, Triggers broom.
I love how the old paradox “The Ship of Theseus” has now been replaced by “Trigger’s Broom”
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 I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Could also use The Sugababes as an example too
@@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.
@@DR3ADER1 yeah. Legally, namely but not logically

@@TheGuruOfNothingness o m
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.
It's like 'cwyin' ....you know it's coming....but it's still hilarious 😂😂😂
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.
Boycie, like all the characters in OFAH, were true to life.
bootstrap businessman, we used to call them.
Yeah, it’s 2 decades!
Well I wouldn’t go that far 🤣
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 🇬🇧
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.
Yip.Comedy gold for sure.
That reminds me I need to get a new head for me broom I might get a new handle while I'm at it! Look after ya broom!
Make sure you get fork handles....no no no four candles
It wouldn't be the same bloody broom afterwards. xD
Hilarious
Look after your broom.
Remember that.
Red Squirrel Rodney King of ruined that part. There should have just been silence
And your broom will look after you ...... No Dave, it's just "Look after your broom".
A thousand years from now, archaeologists will discover Trig's broom, still intact
A hundred decades!
@@Hannah-cf4ev I wouldn't go that far dave
😂😂😂
& well maintained too.
With 25 heads and 43 handles
This helped me understand a key conversation in the finale of WandaVision.
Yep, me too!
Thought the same thing
Won't be surprised if it was Paul Bettany's idea since he's British 😁😁
Came here to post this comment 😂
@@TDKiller415 Paul didn’t write the script though did he
Only fools and horses never dies 😍
I love how Del sits there trying to figure out Trigger's Logic but Sid just questions it XD
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🤣🥳
No matter how many times I watch this it still makes me laugh
I love this - still laugh, however many times I watch it! 17 heads and 14 handles 😂😂
Roger Lloyd Pack was an absolute legend, a comic genius. Can watch him over and over again, brilliant! R.i.p Trigger!! ⭐
Boycie's insult and Trigger's respons is hilarious
Still the same broom after 70 new head and 40 new handles. It's basic Trigger-nometry
Twenty years that's a long time Dave ....... yeah that's two decades ......... I wouldn't go that far!! 😂😂😂 Pure comedy genius.
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'.
yep, more people know what "triggers broom" means now than "ship of Theseus", even though its essentially the same question.
God bless Roger Lloyd Pack 💕👄💋
lol
Roy Heather, who played Sid sadly died, too.
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
0:17... See..thats me!
Rodney: Oh that's you is it Trig? I'm glad you cleared that up 🤣
Anyone else just watch the WandaVision season Finale and think of this?
Yep, first thing that popped into my head,
Why how was this referenced in Wanda Vision ?
@@jackhamilton9604 when Vision discuses with Vision about the ship of Theseus in the final episode.
“Well, here’s a picture of it! What more do you need?”
Probably the most ticked off Trigger’s ever sounded!
How do I know it's the same broom?
Well there is a picture of what more proof you need! Omg honestly
We're sorry to see you go Boycie.
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.
Pure genius!!
All this time after and I still laugh as if it's the first time I have seen it.
The whole cast fit together perfectly lovely junket long live only fools and horses 👍👍👍
I meant lovely jubley not junket dip stick 👍👍
Andrew you plonker! Lol
He was one of the funniest characters in comedy.
Brilliantly played.
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.
Totally! What a legend he is and was.
The deadpan delivery... 👏😏
When comedy was proper comedy.I don't recall the f word regularly being used in OFAH.Well written scripts don't need to use profanities.
The language used by most of the characters wasn't quite the Queen's English but reflected how the likes of Del and Rodney would have spoken in real life. Great scripts and great acting produced the gem that is OFAH.
I don't believe I ever heard the aforementioned swear word at all in any episode??
You do realise that people swear in real life right, so a show that doesn't have swearing isn't representative of real people. There's nothing wrong with swearing in real life or comedy as long as it's used at the correct times and not constantly. Stop being such a prude.
@@dbnj2305 How is plonker and dipstick a profanity, you idiot, your spelling is a profanity.
@@David-ud9ju While I agree, the point is that profanity is now a crutch for lazy writers. Vulgarity has succeeded the true craft of comedy - shame.
What an absolute classic clip. Even after all the time the show had been running, they could still come up with this gem. Hilarious :D
Quite philosophical...ship of Theseus problem; does an object remain the same if parts are replaced.
It gets more complicated than that. The full problem images the scenario that someone takes the old parts, and is able to build another working ship with them elsewhere. So which ship is the true Ship of Theseus? Likewise, if someone used Trigger's old broom parts, they could make loads of brooms out of them. Which broom is Trigger's broom?
@@chickensandwichman5443 The one that Trigger owns ;) Otherwise it's just a 'broom that used to belong to Trigger'
@@ploppyploppy In the Ship of Theseus paradox, the ship doesn't belong to anyone - it's just sitting in a museum. The paradox is - after all the parts have been replaced, can the museum still say they have the Ship of Theseus? Or do they have a replica of the original ship?
This actually applies in real life to the Great Wall of China, which has been almost entirely replaced with new stones.
@@attentionaddicts wheres the second great wall of China built out of the parts from the original great wall of China then?
@@chickensandwichman5443 that full problem isnt a full problem.
That was something thought up thousands of years later.
The ships parts are replaced because they're rotting, you can't make a new ship out of rotted wood.
" see.... that's me"
" oh that's you is it" that's got me weak 😂
😂😂😂😂
"Well how the hell can it be the same bloody broom then".
sweet
“Maybe. But I still feel proud.”
Good on you, Trig! 😉👍
British Wandavision
i feel so lucky to of grew up watching this
Watch Steptoe and son. Its funny too
its amazing, if you read it it doesnt work, but to listen to it... fantastic and the punchline "here's a picture, what more do you want"
I reckon this will get much more popular after the WandaVision finale
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.
Im here because Wandavision
Trigger is gonna be paid a visit from by Vision, where they will debate philosophy for hours on end....
I would pay good money to see that!
Interestingly (for me anyway) this appears to be a take on the ancient philosophical question of the "ship of Theseus" or more appropriately here, the "grandfather's axe". I'm sure John Sullivan must have done this deliberately.
You beat WandaVision, also, the "Grandfather's axe" Sam Vimes?
The funny thing is this example works a lot lot better than the original ship of theseus and is a lot easier to explain on top.
My father's favourite bit from Only Fools and Horses. I miss him and I love this bit too.
20 years a long time Dave
"two decades"
I wouldn't go that far
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..!
Love how he points at the picture and says "See, that's me!"
This never gets old. Simple but brilliant.
Genius writing and acting!!!,,Roger Lloyd Pack is sublime!!!...Will we ever see comedy like this again???... Rather doubtful sadly...
British comedy in its golden age
It ranks as one of the funniest sketches of all time, just in front of "Don't tell them Pike !"
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!"
Along with the 4 Candles sketch, by the 2 Ronnies. I love the Christmas specials of the 2 Ronnies.
I was swept away by that broom joke :-)

Love how proud and impressed of him they are until it all sinks in
Both sadly missed boycie and trigger
Just imagine the amount of takes they must have done to keep a strait face incredible comedy
RIP Boycie. 😢
"Maybe, but I still feel proud" LOL!
Triggers come back was to a t. 👍
The same joke about a broom was used in Open all hours, years before this was filmed, also starring David Jason
I was just telling my wife that, even the great Ronnie Barker didn't deliver it as well as Trigger.
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
RIP Roger Lloyd Pack and John Challis
Triggers broom, is a perfect example of “The ship of Theseus” improving on the original idea through simplicity and reductionism.
Clarity: It's simpler. A broom has a head and a handle. A ship has 'planks' in the example, but also much more critical timbers that probably can't be replaced easily. For example, if replacing the main keel wood requires the whole ship to be dismantled, then it's a complete rebuild which ruins the example. Replacing a piece of an object that doesn't involve dismantling the residual object, so is a better example. The fact that there is only one other piece makes it even more beautiful.
Semantics: It's Trigger's Broom. The broom that belongs to Trigger. He wears it out while sweeping roads, and when he replaces the head or the handle then it still his broom. Whether it is the same 'Trigger's Broom' is the debate, but it is definitely a 'Trigger's Broom'. Theseus was long dead when the planks of his ship were all replaced. They never sailed on the sea, which brings questions about whether something can be considered a ship if it's never sailed, rather than an ornament in the shape of a ship.
Subject matter: Theseus wasn't famous for using the same ship for a long time and needing to replace lots of it. The fact it ended up in a museum for a long time is not relevant to the deeds of Theseus. Trigger however is a street sweeper who used a broom for a very long time. He wore out his broom a lot, and needed to replace parts.
🤣🤣 what's even funnier is you've written a short essay on triggers broom.
Here's one from me...the broom was a broom until it was replaced with broom parts therefore rendering it another broom so in actuality it's still a broom and always was a broom triggers not wrong.
The difference is that, with the Ship of Theseus thought experiment, the old parts are taken away one by one, and replaced with new parts. Theyre restored, and put back together.
The question is which is - Which is Theseus's ship?
@@RylanStorm the real question is....what is the question? If the question is a question can it be real or not?
RIP Boycie, John Challis was a phenomenal actor.
How can it be the same bloody broom than, well here's a picture of it what more prove do you need
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!
The picture was just bloody brilliant Lool
