The look on Del's face when the penny finally dropped was classic
Either Raquels pregnant or dels pissed 😂😂
Both are equally likely😃
not really, they are both virgins@@SamuelBlack84
This scene brings a tear to my eye.
Love that closing line from Rodney
What some people don't see in this clip is the realism of this situation. It is done with such proffessionism that you would swear blind that she was actually telling Sir David that she was pregnant and not acting. Even to the point where she closes her eyes in anticipation of what Del's reaction may be, it is so very real and so convincing. Also lets not forget that moment when Del thinks he say's something funny , then realises he has hurt her with that comment so he quietly chastises himself and then tries to redeem himself. It to me has got to be some of the best acting in TV history and that clip alone should never ever be overlooked.
It shows the true genius of John Sullivans writing as both a sitcom and potentially even a soap writer.
Yes, the acting is brilliant. But also John Sullivan's character development was so good as the series wore on. In that clip, you can see how pleased Rodney is for his brother, but then in later episodes the dread kicks in at what Del's offspring might turn out as! Great acting, great writing.
Only Fools what a good classic never gets a second old never forgotten
It’s often overlooked how good the acting is in this show. My favourite programme bar none. Thank you John Sullivan
Raquel was awful.
@@tropicalpalmtree no she wasn’t
she was, i couldn't stand her.@@tropicalpalmtree
Del Boy is a such a great character.
Great scene. You can see how much Raquel's pregnancy meant to Del. He was going to be a good father to Damien - unlike Reg, who left the Trotters and tried to come back years later, only to show he hadn't changed at all.
who's kid was it?
Spot on - well put.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant stuff is Only Fools and Horses, it's pure magic.
The trotters flat must of been massive, they each had their own room and a baby on the way. More like a mansion than a tower block flat lol
The flat has three rooms- one for Del and Raquel, one for Albert (previously Granddad's) and one for Rodney (which becomes Damien's nursery). When Albert dies and the Trotters move back in, Rodney and Cassandra take Albert's room. As Del says, it was 'designed to be overcrowded'
Rodney to Uncle Albert: Either Raquel's pregnant or Del's pissed.
One of the best Scenes I've seen is when Del is stood there by himself and Holding Back the years is playing in the background Rodney's wedding Reception
Pure class 👌
So many incredible actors. Brilliant writing. Boycie, Dell, Rodney, Trigger...and so many other wonderful characters. Comedy heaven. Thanks to everyone who brought this to us😘😃
When we were expecting our first child, this was the same way wife and me have presented the new information to both her and mine parents :)
‘Calm down you 2’!
Anyone else hear Mr Toad in his voice?
Edit: and the Head Weasel!
I love this show. Grew up with it. Gutted when it ended.
Kinda surprised the views for the Only Fools clips on here are each only in the thousands, would've thought they'd be in the millions tbh. Just the best show, particularly if you've had a hard day and need a laugh 😁
If I’m ever lucky enough too have a woman in my life and she tells me she’s pregnant I’d probably react like dell.
Same. 😊
@@MediaArchive2-z9f you pair of liars, i bet you'd be telling her to get rid of it and wonder if it's even yours.
Del very excited at the thought 🤔 of being a father.🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic 😊
Are you angry?
No del is absolutely fuming lol
he would be now he knows she's carrying another man's kid.
@@sallyjoan what?
@@SquidBitt the kid is not his. They're virgins.
@@sallyjoan If they're virgins, then how is she pregnant?
@@SquidBitt by another man of course. Del is definitely a virgin, he hasn't got clue what it's all about yet.
2:42 That would be my reaction too.
no, your reaction would be 'who's kid is it'?
Mine too. 😊
Wonderful show!!
This was a great scene del was over the moon to find out he was going to be a dad
To think that Raquel would have nowhere to go if he dumped her because she was pregnant. She was so scared of his reaction. She didn't speak to her parents and she had no place to live and her ex was crazy and abusive. Del hasn't always been the best guy but he loves his family and this might be his only time to raise a child. He was so happy and this scene is beautiful
I don't know why, it might not even be his! Ever thought of that?
@@sallyjoan seriously what the fuck is wrong with you
Comedy gold
Del: how meany people can you see standing there
RODNEY/ALBERT 1
DEL: I SEE 2
RODNEY: YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS
ALBERT: NO
RODNEY: well hither Raquels pregnant or dels pissed
Either raquels pregnant or dels pissed😂😭
Calm down calm down you two!
I think Del suddenly realises he may have a nice little earner
How can any man be angry when it takes two to make a baby
Well, I'm not sure if Raquel means it as in angry at the situation or as in angry at her. Because they haven't exactly been trying for a baby, they just had unprotected yaknow, so he could be mad that now he has so many more responsibilities. And no a medical abortion was not available at that point I'm pretty sure. But, and this is I think the more realistic explanation, Raquel's previous partner, Slater, was abusive, and probably would blame her for stuff she couldn't control. For example I believe that if Raquel did get pregnant with Roy, he would probably get angry and blame her. So she probably just developed it as a trauma response. And that is why I think that line is so underrated in this scene, because it so beautifully and seemlessly brings out such an important part of Raquels character.
I like their bedroom, although I really don't like the curtains in the flat's living-room.
The really sad thing is he actually had a daughter in real life he didn't know about ❤ until a few years ago.
Another example of Rodney stealing a scene with a single line
Aw that’s beautiful 🥹 A woman couldn’t hope for a happier reaction to telling a man “I’m pregnant” 🎉
Is blind terror a happy reaction?
Ofah was undoubtedly one of the best comedy series ever but i feel that it went on too long. The truly best ones had much fewer series and episodes. Fawlty towers, porridge, blackadder ,the office etc
😂😂

Let's be honest: this is how 99% of all men over the age of 30 would react.
no actually, they'd be telling her to get rid of it. I bet it's not even Del's.
😊😅😊😊😊j
😍🇷🇸🥇
Da
To be fair the casting wasn't great, she could have passed as his daughter.
David was born in 1945 while she was born in 1957
1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1956 1957 which would make David (del boy) only eleven years older than her and yes it is quite a few years gap between them.and it’s not like their together in this
It brought up several times in the show that Del is about 10 years older than Raquel. These kind of age gaps aren't uncommon for people who met in middle age. Also Raquel was married to Roy Slater who is the same age as Del, so maybe she has a thing for older men.
Yeah she could have been his daughter........if they were born and raised in Nigeria.....or NORWICH!!!
The age doesn't really matter, it's the quality of acting. And they were both superb, so the casting is excellent.
Tessa was such a terrible actress in ofah, her part ruined it.
Bit harsh
@@theironshiek Not really. A lot of people would agree with me, she can't act and she can't sing either. So many times she overacts to the point you don't really understand why she is doing it, like the scene where they have dinner with her parents in the flat and she has that permanent concerned face and speech for no reason. Everytime she talks its like the script is right in front of her.
I always thought when they introduced Cassandra and Raquel the issues become more serious and less amusing. For me both characters were both strict wives and injected no extra humour and instead had to react to their partners crazy antics like a grown-up would. So yeah, I would have preferred if they weren't permanent characters. Marlene was a great character and actress and a perfect OFAH wife though. 😆
i agree, i couldn't stand her
@@sallyjoan Neither her nor cassandra added anything to OFAH. Their lines were so dreary too. I've never laughed at anything they said during the entire show.
This was a good comedy untill they brought women n kids into it Then it was Just another comedy drama like coronation street.
Me too
John Sullvian said he thought Del and Rodney should grow up
boring
Go away then? No is forcing you to watch this.
@@scruffymcfly2877 I am sorry do I know you?
No! You are boring!!
