This is more than just a show for me, it’s comforting and it reminds me of simpler times.
Spot on 👍🏻
Yeah bang on, same for me
Ain't that the truth
Exactly, Its a time machine to when i was a young lad watching for the first time in my parents lounge room, with decor very similar to Dels flat....
Ahhh the 80s.
Bon da duche
Being born in England in 1981, with wind in the willows, count duckula,danger mouse and the bfg David Jason means more to me than just an actor, this guy raised us kids of the 80’s he was there everyday after school, his voice is cemented into the happy part of my brain and will remain there till I am no more, the man has legendary status yet is beautifully humble in every way.💙
Totally agree
trap door
Beautifully said. So correct.
I am five years older than you , came to the UK two months old , and all those shows you mentioned was at a time when Children's shows were at their top quality , could not wait to get back from school and watch them . They were wonderful glory days not only of children's tv but of tv of all time . Children's tv growing up in the UK was fabulous .
@@jmartin4204 I’m 100% with you on that buddy!
I'm sure everyone will agree with me that only fools and horses is the best TV programme ever produced. If only we could get more of it. John Sullivan was a genius comedy writer. He and the cast members deserve all the awards that can be given 👍
The finest 💯
Of course. Nothing comes near close, especially American sitcoms
Fools is basically a reboot of steptoe and son. They created 3 characters out of the two but kept the dynamic. The fool, the hard worker, the old one, the vet, good with women, bad with women, naive, confident etc etc.
Both families of just men who lost the matriarch when kids and miss her dearly. They struggle to earn a living dreaming of better things while fighting between themselves yet tied by blood. Actually some of the situations are direct lifts from steptoe episodes. Peckham was picked specifically to be opposite The Bush but same poor neighbourhoods.
Greatest show ever
Notice how humble these two actors are. They have literally made people split their sides from laughter all over the world and are just so distinguished. Could Hollywood stars not take a leaf out of their book.
So well deserved. Weĺl done
KMG Farmer.
Absolutely spot on.
Hollywood and humble can't be used in the same sentence.
Overpaid prima donnas !
Well not literally,that would mean your sides actually split open😏
@philz2002 oh yes I’m a great fan,proper comedy,my reply was just me being a plonker 😂
@philz2002 ah time on our hands. I remember the first time seeing that episode and the scene where they go into the nags head and all the locals stand up and start clapping. Genuinely brought tears of joy. Thinking they finally done it. Grew up watching only fools and still come back to it
I'll tell you one thing.
They've put me off buying blow up dolls. 👀
No other tv comedy comes close. This was brilliantly written, and wonderfully acted. A true touch of class.
Will never happen again , so well written . and portrayed , larger than life characters .
Only fools and horses will never be matched. Legendary writers, actors and actresses.
"Steptoe & Son" - no better acting & writing than that, although Fools & Horses probably has got a more wider appeal.
"Jolly boy's outing" go to be one of the best , superbly written and acted ..
Probably my favourite of the special episodes.
💥💥
@@geoffpoole483 dates was great episode, so was to hull and back, my 2 favourites of the longer film versions,
Trigger with his dolphin and kiss me quick hat in margate. One of my favourites too.
You DO deserve it, Nicholas. Lots of actors only dream of pulling off characters like that and making them work for years.
Hats off to you sir.
Watch him in the clip when Del introduces him to Jumbo Mills. Uncle Albert comes out with a great line and Nicholas Lyndhurst loses it!
@@geoffpoole483 “Well that’s a hell of a parting you’ve got there!” 😂
Best British comedy ever, can't be beaten especially with today's so called comedy.
You’re right. Comedy is cancelled by leftists. Even stuff made 5 years ago wouldn’t be allowed now!
@@lordcharfield you won't see love thy neighbour on mainstream TV anymore because of the wokeness of today.

Only fools and horses is the best show I have ever loved! I can still watch it and feel happy after 35 years or so...God bless the whole team behind it. Thank you for the laughter. Thank you for the entertainment. Thank you Del Boy...
I am 32 years old. I used to watch " only fools and horses" when I was about 10 from what I can remember of the show. I started watching every season not that long ago on Netflix and it's the best show I've ever seen. I love it!!!
You know it makes sense
I rarely get down but when I do.. an episode or two of only fools and horses cures all. This is the true power of comedy gold.
The only modern show that comes close to given me the laughs that Only Fools does is Taskmaster. They are very different shows but both always cheer me up.
Love fools and horses still watch it from this day 🤩🙌❤️✌️
David Jason once said, the role was like putting on your favourite old slippers.
You know it's the best show when you think of each character like your own family
very true...who is your Trig!
I still watch it and laugh, it reminds me of the time that I used to watch it with my Dad, who has now passed.
I love these men! They are very humble. Jason is correct that his character is like an ordinary struggling person.
These two are very close friends and extremely genuine people. When Nick sadly lost his son David was there for him. David is a superb actor.
My dad kept calling me plonka when I was kid because of this show. I still remember busting my lungs watching the episode where Dell leans back on the bar only to fall off camera lol Simpler happier times.
Nah your cramping my style trig.
We love you both lads…
OFAH is the best. It's my go to, when life is upside down
Great post Me too
Me also
Me too !!!!!!!!!
Me too, in the dark times in my life del boy and rodney have been there♥️
This is not long after Mr Lyndhurst lost his son. I wouldn't have the strength to show up to an event like this.
You do realise this is from 2017?
Just the perfect show all round, all the family would sit around laugh their socks off and sometimes cry with them.
It will be a sad sad day in British history when this man passes away. Sir David Jason you have brought so much joy to this entire nation over the years, a true national treasure. We all love you
Not to forget Grandad and Uncle Albert
Absolutely two of the very best actors on television. Made me laugh many times. Love them.
I wish David Jason would live forever, his work will.
Just finished reading his book, he's a real gentleman..

@@Itsartyr in protest at Boris's new great Britain!
We obviously now live in a dictatorship.
Don't expect any freedom on the 21st.
@@tomf4547
I was in the army an infantryman, when l left after 17 years l was hired as a "security expert" by an old friend who owned a Security & Bodyguard Company, in other words mercenarys, believe me you don't want to know what a real dictatorship is like, and it ain't like Borises UK that's for sure, and hopefully you'll never know what a real one's like. A lot of deaths most of which go unreported. And true fear, think North Korea but worse.
@@biggusdickkus2956 I believe you.
But they all start somewhere.
@@tomf4547
True, but it's usually fast, after a revolution, a rebel leader or the country's original army leaders who then appoint one of them as "leader" with promises of it being temporary until calm is settled, then begins the summary executions of the ex leaders, their known associates and quite a lot of their family and friends, next any dissidents who know what's coming and try to protest are rounded up and sometimes show trialled then either executed or if they're unlucky imprisoned in a terrible hell hole. Then the intelligence officers of the blooming dictatorship monitor the peoples every word and movement neighbours are encouraged to spy on their neighbours even children led to spy on their parents, 3am arrests ( a time when the body and mind is at its lowest ebb and least resistance expected, people dragged from their beds charged with being an enemy of the state who are then brutally tortured usually for no other reason than being informed on out of spite, they often are killed or put in gulags to await kangaroo courts, and thus terror blossoms people begin looking constantly over their shoulders and every word they utter becomes filtered before utterance, now the dictator claims sadly that unrest is still rife so they must extend their time in power as they struggle valiantly to overcome the evil that would destroy their beloved country, posters and paintings of the leader appear in every quarter his benign countenance burned into the minds of the citizens meanwhile schools are set to teach the children from the earliest age upwards about how great and glorious their leader is and that's how its done, constant monitoring of the civilians, draconian punishments for the smallest of offences and brainwashing of the future generations to acceptance, while all the time executions and disappearances of presumed rebels to maintain fear of open dissention. We're a long way from that and the British public though normally grumpily accepting of rules and regulations will always kick back when really pissed off and those in power here know it, plus with our depleted army they couldn't control more than half of one major city if rebellion flared, so if the military are suddenly being recruited with aims to more than quadruple then watch out lol but no it will never happen here.
Fellow web developer/designer here, and I love what you've done for this amazing show. Honestly, I would say it is the best show to ever hit the TV, period.
Great show, great characters and great actors.
John Sullivan was without doubt a genius.
Of course John Sullivan was a comedy genius, he's Irish.
he was a great writer but to be fair he did nick a lot of ideas.
@@bobwallacejnr6852 No. He didn't. The majority of his ideas were from his own experiences and people he himself met. The Derek Trotter character was loosely based on someone he knew.
@@superfirmino5785 most of the situations were from older comedies. For example the Triggers Broom joke was told 20 years earlier on Open All Hours...the changing of the blood tests was on Steptoe and Son 40 years ago..just a few examples.. I'm not degrading it all all...still a great show but he did get influence from a lot of older stuff.
@@bobwallacejnr6852 Nothing wrong with bringing back old ideas to a new audience provided you use a different spin or context which can even enhance the original. What I don't like is todays lazy writers and producers who have no original content and don't even bother to put a spin on older ideas. The standards have dropped
I watch an OFAH Christmas special every Christmas to remind myself of how they made your Christmas that little bit more entertaining.
And extremely sad…… they scene with Rodney and del in the lift was so well written
Proper family entertainment at its best
The Xmas specials were the highlight of Xmas, unlike nowadays. All my mates would get together to watch the Xmas special…. Brilliant!
A lot of people forget about Dear John , another John Sullivan classic which has always been one of my favourites 👍
Only fools and horses was very popular in Yougoslavia too. Even nowadays the older generation keeps watching the retro OFAH episodes. I mean who wouldn't laugh at Delboy Rodney Grandad Uncle Albert (during the conflict :D) Boycie etc etc. As French say Bonnet de Douche :)
mange tout my friend, mange tout!!
Your comment is the creme de la menthe.
Oh, yes, no matter how many times they show it, it is always watched by the people of all ages. Heck, they even mention Yugoslavia in the show. "Yugoslavian riesling (wine)" I think it is
Pozdrav Denise
@@spikemufc pozdrav prijatelju :)
Rodney: Thank you, I don't deserve it
Dell: Shut up you tart!
I can just hear it now 🤣
nicely done
😆😆 you plonker rodney
Dip Stick
There will never be anything like fools and horses again. All comedy genius’s! 👌
Friends is good too
Two words, LOVELY JUBBLY.
1 word chataueneufdepap
We all loved the Trotters on our household, they were like part of the family, popping round once a week, to see us all through our TVs.
It's amazing how attached and how fondly you can become of characters on a TV program/sitcom, especially when it's the all time best situation comedy of all time, that good it deserves it twice, in my opinion, made us feel bloody good showing the struggles of the working class peoples trying to make a go of it, even though it was low level crime, selling things in a market somewhere somehow.
Good ol' "Only Fools and Horses".
Remember that David Jason learnt from the Governor: Ronnie Barker.
yes he fully suggests that in most biographies
Nicholas is morphing into David
Another great writer and comedian
Guv'nor in this context, not Governor.
As a kid I was pretty impressed with one of his earliest tv roles in 1967, the spoof superhero 'Captain Fantastic' in 'Do Not Adjust your Set', fighting against the evil 'Mrs Black' played by Denise Coffey.
By far the best British series of all time!!!! I could watch it all day everyday! I’m honestly a super-fan know everything about it!
My two favourite actors, from my favourite show. What I'd do to just have the chance to meet these two and thank them for giving getting me through some tough times.
This show reminds me of simple times being at home with my mum, eating lovely food, nice and warm, cosy... I love her so much and loved those times.... I love David Jason in a special way and he will always be del to me.
Ofah was one of the best ever. I don’t think I’ve ever met or heard anyone say they didn’t like it & that itself speaks volumes. Great writer , actors and we were very lucky back in the day compared to the shite on tv nowadays. I can’t wait for the Documentary
It was, it is and always will be the greatest sitcom there ever was. Fantastically written and acted out. That cast and those scripts were a marriage made in heaven. Still piss myself every time I watch it even though I’ve heard every gag over and over.
No matter who you are what race you are only fools and horses is a classic 👍🏼
The legends from legendary series.
Like Del Boy said it represents the ordinary life.
All the best, love you guys and the whole crew 👍
And r.i.p all actors who passed away, you're not forgotten 🪦
Yes Rodney you do deserve it,, best dipstick on tv...love OFAH..
Nicholas n david,, LEGENDS.. Grandad n unk Albert great actors and all the cast just worked so well together.. Thanxs for the memories.. Tv is shite these days..miss the 80s even though I was only a kid..
Only fools and horses was a brilliant show.
I realise that Nicholas lost his son recently. I'm truly sorry for you mate.
You and Del Boy made me laugh for years. Nicholas, I truly wish you and yours the very best. You truly did make this wee man a very happy bunny. I pray you can take at least a wee bit of hope in that... Oh, And B.T.W, I Loved "Goodnight Sweatheart" also.
You do deserve it, And more
Everyone involved deserves it,
Even the ones who are no longer here,
Wont be forgotten ever,
Best show ever as a kid xmas was about presents in the morning then fools n horses xmas special at night,
This is in my top 5 favourite comedies of all times. Still love it to this day. Greetings from Amsterdam.
"You cant trust the old bill can ya? Look at that time they planted 6 gas cookers in my bedroom!"
Ofah, best tv show ever. Very popular here in Croatia.
Only fools and horses is one of the best comedies ever to have graced our screens along with talented actors to match. Such classic entertainment & as long as we can watch it I’ll be a viewer whenever possible!
OFAH was one of the few things my Dad and I had in common. Thank you so much David and Nicholas et al. XX
You no it make sense David Jason an Nicholas Lyndhurst👍
Excellent respectful interviewing of actors so many revere. These two and other actors and actresses who play wonderful great characters along side them deserve many accolades for the entertainment, laughter and drama they continue to give us. The talents of the writers, directors and the team behind the scenes bring this all together to make such amazing television for us to enjoy. Fool and Horses never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, but these guys display their talent in so many directions to bring light relief to the rigours of our everyday lives.
RIP John Sullivan.. The Fool and the Horse.
Who made it what it became.......
Sir David Jason, an absolutely amazing soul....our Robin Williams of the UK, he is a fantastic comedian loved by all. Only Fools and Horses traverses time and generations to remain one of if not the best comedy TV show ever created that is as good today as it was back then. Not forgetting Nicholas Lyndhurst of course, the duo forged memories and laughs that will last a life time.
I love It .it's solid gold and time less dell boy Is one of ours I'm still woching regular today on dvd the legendery trotters live on forever
You've entertained us and made us laugh and for that we're grateful.
OFAH will live on for years to come. I love watching it and my daughter is 15 month old she loves dancing to the theme tune
Love you Dell, Rodney and all the cast that made life on this planet that little bit sweeter!
Reminds me of my family, all Londoners but my best scene from only fools is when Del falls through the bar!! X
This comedy got our family through the lockdowns we laughed so much some had never seen it before they just loved it. so very special
Thank you to two brilliant actors and their counterparts. The best comedy ever.
The 'chandelier' episode is my favourite. I'm laughing now just thinking about it.
Chain Gang for me. But I love this episode too.
A show you loved and miss being on the screen. All good things have to come to an end. Where one door closes, another one opens for these fantastic actors careers. David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst you are both well deserving of this award. Love and wishes to you both.
Thanks to these Giants of Comedy and Everyone else who helped make these Amazing, Funny, Touching, Heart - rending, Lovable Shows. Some of the Very Best Laugh Out Loud Moments and Gentle Wipe the Eyes Scenes I've ever Enjoyed on TV. Love and Respect.
I love these men. Part of a brilliantly funny, dramatic and at times sad show.
EXTREMELY WELL PUT questions, I don't think that gets said enoUgh. Well done.
What a fantastic comedy in my opinion there will never be a better.
Im a 22 year old British Bengali. I became a fan of OFAH growing up watching my uncles watch it growing up. I walked into an off license one day and OFAH was on and the Indian shop keeper was surprised by my knowledge of the show. This show represents the working class
Yes, it does. So glad you enjoyed it. 🌹
You do deserve that award, Nicholas Lyndhurst. In fact you deserve WAY more accolades for your acting.
OFAH will always be one of my favourite comedy shows.
The very best comedy on UK TV.....bar non
@the old timer Don't be a Wally!
@@mrtoptenatten fawlty towers is better
@the old timer Why would you say gay? Did you mean it makes you feel happy?
@the old timer Sorry, it sounded like like you were being rude by the way you made that comment saying "It gay." People don't say it that way anymore, it usually is used for rudeness. But stop calling me silly kid, it's childish and I'm no kid!
When, with the auction of the lost watch, they finally became millionaires - it was the oddest thing - disbelief was suspended and we were genuinely glad for them, and shed the odd tear as well.
We grew older together, had cherished friends, lost members of our family too, had wonderful weddings, celebrated the birth of new members of the clan, lived very ordinary days - all of which are part of this mysterious and fantastic thing called LIFE. In Only Fools and Horses we saw a reflection of ourselves. A heartfelt thank you to all who made it possible. ❤️ 🙏
My absolute favourite programme
They’re always both incredibly humble and thankful and deserve every award they receive and in my eyes,
Hate to see them age
I love OFAH so much I can watch them over and over again and never get bored.
OFAH will always be my #1 Favourite show
Wow, David sounds just like Del Boy but Nicholas is so much posher than Rodney! Took me by surprise. The chemistry between these two was unbelievable. I feel like I've grown up with them. The mix of side-splitting comedy and genuine brotherly love regularly brought me to tears - both ways!
I dont know if this get read by Nicolas & David but at some dark times in my life watching episodes of this fabulous show helped tremendously, thank you both & thank you John Sullivan!
Alright Dave 🤣
I've been wanting to say that.
Lyndhurst is a very shy character and you can see he doesn't like the spotlight
I'm glad he was the lead role in Goodnight Sweetheart.
A Serbian friend told me about Lyndhurst going on holiday to Italy, confident no one would know who he was. There was a party of "Yugoslavs" staying at his hotel- OFAH is HUGE in the Balkans. They treated him like a rock star.
I loved EVERY MINUTE of Only Fools And Horses. I have fond memories of watching with family that I don’t have around anymore. Thank you. 🌹
Great actors, great show. You know it makes sense! 🤣
This was part of my childhood and loved every episode, so funny and iconic in so many ways
As soon as he slips the Del Boy in, we are all happy, Del is still here.
They're looking so well! They deserve this! I grew up watching OFAH and it never gets boring 🙏
The 29 people who disliked this video was surely Triggers broom
Some sad people in the world or trolls that do that.
@@darrenhirst9900 Lefties , simile as that .
I watched "a touch of glass" on G.O.L.D twice in a day the second time I was like oh ofah is on again. Realised it was a repeat of earlier. Still sat there and watched it. I love how timeless and watchable this show is. I have the leopard print box set of all episodes and still watch it on tv.
thank you boys always brightens my day
2 true greats, so much joy given by them. Thank you 😊
years of belly laughs
David Jason is such an icon and all he has done is perfection, a true talented actor, and Only fools was pure class and second to non amongst comedy, and the they certainly do deserve praise for the truly unique comedy it brought to all its fans 👏👏❤️❤️
Legends brings back memories of me and my family watching this god bless you all
My ma and my pa always enjoyed this. Nowadays they're watching Last of Summer Wine and Dad's Army.
Hes definetly still got trotter in him! Love both of them!
Nothing on today's TV even comes close as OFAH
Not a patch on The Green Green Grass
@@John-tz2tx I beg to differ

Cant wait for documentary
These guys are amazing UK icons. 👌🏼😊♥️
Rodders you absolutely do deserve it, you are both masters not just of TV but entertainment!
