@@jimmelton5846 Steve Rooney looks more like Del Boy but sounds nothing like him. Maurice once one the best look alike and sound like in a competition on an ITV programme presented by Matthew Kelly.
Is there really a need for this? I felt nauseous watching it. Only fools and horses was a terrible program very offensive and racist. I wish it would disappear people still watch it unbelievably as they can’t try anything new. My millennial generation don’t tolerate offensive content like this very racist character in the 80s and 90s.
@@thenewmodfather ah, my apologies. I read it ask you'd met the real and making a comparison. Yes, you've heard correctly. Miserable fella who couldn't give 20 seconds out of his day for an autograph. Went down in my estimations that day in Poland Street, London's Theatreland. I watched him blank a bicycle courier moments before, too. Never ask Mr Jason for an autograph. He'll tell you he "doesn't do that sort of thing".
I think that was part of the joke (if this was a recent episode) because Les Dennis is going to be playing Grandad in the musical show that's currently running. If it was an old episode then clear it was a piss poor effort 😂😂
This is over 20 years old and Les Dennis' impression actually sounded like Grandad and if, as I don't know, he was cast as Grandad in something then I'm sure it dates back to this, as with a little coaching he'd be spot on. The Del Boy impersonator was absolutely amazing.
Great Del Boy impression but who the hell was Les trying to be?? I'd forgotten how bad he was at impressions, I saw a clip from the TV show he used to do with Dustin Gee. Their impressions were so bad they had to announce who it was before they did it.
@@BobLazar-oc8tk ive blemished no body i could be talking about the presenter. I have alleged nothing. But google is your friend. But people have been arrested for noncing in somebodies house, smoke, fire thats public record
Les's impression of 'Rodney Trotter' isn't the best, mind you though, he's now playing the role of both 'Grandad/Uncle Albert' in 'Only Fools And Horses The Musical' currently in London's West End at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN IT!
Showing Les Dennis how it's done. How does anyone think Les Dennis is any good at impersonating stars. He is rubbish. Always was. He was just lucky enough to be partnered with Dustin Gee all those years ago. Just like Sid Little, who was lucky to have had Eddie Large. Nice one Del Boy lookalike though. That was pure luvly Jubbly.
@@mikewilson714 was he though. Or was it just the fact he was lucky enough to be guided by Ricky Gervais. He started his career in showbiz as an impressionist, and yet everyone he tried to take off sounded nothing like who he was trying to do. That clip from family fortunes is a good example. Like the Del Boy lookalike said, Grandad, Uncle Albert, or whoever you are meant to be! It sums him up.
@@rmstitanic8163 well yes, Gervais was a commanding factor in that episode and Les was great to go along with what he was trying to put across to the viewer... lots of Mavis and Family Fortunes anecdotes that we've all heard before. Not as good as Keith Chegwin's queer-hating turn in another episode, but I enjoyed watching Les send himself up. And in the FF clip here, I'm sure Canham was winding him up with the impression Led did. No one could seriously mistake a Rodney impression from a grandad one, no matter how bad it was! I think Canham was trying to get a few laughs for himself by being a little sarcastic, just as Del himself might have done! Maybe I'm completely wrong but I just found Les' performance funny enough to watch it again and again, especially as he's starkers and begins drying himself right in front of Gervais, who has to play with a switch on the wall to avoid making any eye contact! 😂
@@mikewilson714 I agree with you. That is funny. But i think it's funny because of Ricky's reaction to Les being naked. I give him one thing. The fact that he was naked and not in the best of shape at that time. But talking about Extras. My favourite was the episode with Patrick Stewart and his fixation of seeing naked women. His new film and he has a mind power to make things happen, and mostly it's about women losing their clothes and he keeps saying, I've seen everything. It's too late to cover up, because I've seen it all. 🤣 Now that is funny. When you consider that he is generally a serious actor, his straight acting as a sex maniac is brilliant.
@@rmstitanic8163 I couldn't agree more! The Patrick Stewart and the Ian McKellen episodes are two of my favourites! And watching them in The Art of Corpsing featurette is just as hysterical, including Keith Chegwin and his Cheggars Plays Cock line!
Meh, he's ok I guess. I mean he's just putting on a generic Cockney accent and throwing out some of Del's phrases. His physical movements are pretty good though. But if he can make a few quid from it, more power to him.
What is everybody on about he's not a great del boy. I think people are over complementing here. Putting a cap on and saying dell boy's lines don't make you a great del boy.
Im sorry but the original is completely overrated by far rodney you plonker hysterical not bland tedious and repetative This guy is better than jason himself and probably way funnier 🤣
The guys face when Les was going on about him making a living from it…
“Shut up Des, HMRC might be watching this!”
No income tax, no VAT….
😂😂
Exactly...Don't mention I make a few Bob from it "You know it makes sense" 😁
This guy isn't just a great Del Boy impersonator, he's also incredible at doing Harry Enfield impersonating Del Boy!! ha.
Are you mad he still does it
To be fair, he looks lore like Harry Enfield than Del-Boy.
The irony being that Les Dennis is going to be portraying Granddad in the musical version of only fools and horses.
I though that was Paul Whitehouse?
That's right he's sharing the role with Whitehouse isn't he. Good shout..
That's not an irony my friend it's a coincidence. Many people confuse the two words and use them in the wrong context.
@@truthseeker7794 depends in which context irony us being used.
I came on here to write exactly that. Nice one.
Crikey that’s a close one - absolutely amazing!
And Maurice Canham is still doing Del Boy today.
Wow.
Really? He thought it was pretty average.
@@jimmelton5846 Steve Rooney looks more like Del Boy but sounds nothing like him. Maurice once one the best look alike and sound like in a competition on an ITV programme presented by Matthew Kelly.
Good. I wish him all the best.

I've met him bloody hell he was so much like him I thought it really was David Jason
I, too, have met David Jason and there is only one difference... this Canham chap seems so much nicer and kinder.
@@mikewilson714 never met David Jason but have heard he isn't very nice

Brilliant goalkeeper as well
“My 3 wheeler’s playing up Des I want one of them” 😂😂
Wow spot on voice wise
the pause after he asked the audience what they think... 😂 00:49
This guy could start a new series I would definitely watch well dun you plonker
How embarrassing Les doing a Rodney impression and he thought he was doing grandad !
I think that was part of the joke (if this was a recent episode) because Les Dennis is going to be playing Grandad in the musical show that's currently running. If it was an old episode then clear it was a piss poor effort 😂😂
It's definately an old episode I don't think Les Dennis has done family fortunes for 20 years or more.
This is over 20 years old and Les Dennis' impression actually sounded like Grandad and if, as I don't know, he was cast as Grandad in something then I'm sure it dates back to this, as with a little coaching he'd be spot on. The Del Boy impersonator was absolutely amazing.
Has a hint of Harry Enfield about him
Irony was Les played Grandad in The OFAH theatre show
Les Dennis shoulda broke out his mavis impression🤣
You could have just said impression. The Mavis part is taken as read.
Is that really a good idea? I don't really know... 😉😁
Awesome
Del boys twin, has to be the same DNA!
Great Del Boy impression but who the hell was Les trying to be?? I'd forgotten how bad he was at impressions, I saw a clip from the TV show he used to do with Dustin Gee. Their impressions were so bad they had to announce who it was before they did it.
I thought he said he was pretending to be 'Rodney Trotter'?
Brilliant impersonation of del boy
Really is very good, spot the difference
Very very good.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will give this 10 out 10
Can you tell me how you are plz
Lol it’s terrible
Do you have the full episode? I'd love to see it, Maurice is my uncle
Think he'll be out of business when the truth comes out about a certain someone after they have died
I keep hearing this from a relative :) and when it comes out will be the 'we all knew' brigade
Leave it out will you!
David Jason is a living legend and one of the nicest people in showbusiness.
How dare you try and blemish his good name.
@@BobLazar-oc8tk ive blemished no body i could be talking about the presenter. I have alleged nothing. But google is your friend.

Best Deal Boy empresion ever!
Unreal 🤣🤣👍👍👍
I'm hiring Maurice if my brother finally marries his girlfriend.
Why would your brother marry Maurice's girlfriend?
Amazing.
These guys definitely look the part
Brilliant 👍😁

Brilliant this ❤❤ anybody who doesn’t like OFAH doesn’t know comedy at its finest
Looks more like Harry Enfield doing ‘only me’
Looks more like Harry Enfield
Ahhh he reminds me of that Del Boy a little bit 😆
Brilliant
“This is Johnathan Ross from the Goldrush studio!!” “Oh PISS OFF Micky,you’re getting on my tit’s now!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao that's trippy
He's very good.
Seen him on a wedding video.lol
Nice Jubbly!
Harry Enfield
Genuinely my first thought
@@RebornAudio mine too
He still does it
Brilliant
Met him once when I was a kid. Bit of a prick.
I am fairly sure he is a narcissist.
Who les or fake del
@@graham2sexy955Both! lol nah the sad ass thinking he's Del.
Both!
Les Dennis as himself the Del Boy Impersonator was better at it than Dennis Trotter
LOVELY JUBBLY
How on earth has les Dennis had such a long career out of doing piss poor impressions? He never sounds anything like any of them
He did sound like Rodney a tad when he said ''That for ya''
That's the best... Inspector Frost.. I've ever seen, wonder if he can do Del Boy?
always get some tosspot hater. Some manky Scot this time.
Ha ha Sir David wore a fake tache and stopped dying his hair so people wouldn't mistake him for Del Boy.
Bloody hell.
Les is going to play grandad in the musical
Les should've said #oooh I don't really know'
Sounds nothing like Del Boy in anyway but does look like him in picture fair play for making some bunce out of it
Look after your broom
🤣🤣🤣👍
And your broom will look after you

What a plonker
If youre a die hard ofah fan the voice and accent are well off
true but he did look good in the pictures shown
Not really like him, the cadences are off
But he does have a hat. That's not nothing.

Yep. It's just you
