Trigger had the fewest lines to say in each episode, but he got the most laughs, genius writing, and comedic timing from him was legendary god rest his soul...
@ell arr ess Look carefully at Roger (Trigger), after he makes his comment about Ghandi. He's trying hard not to laugh. I wonder how many takes that scene took to film.
@@Andy-wx4wx Yep ver sad. Met a guy on holiday once who's impression of Boycie was so remarkable if you closed your eyes and listened to it you'd actually believe John was sat next to you. We kept in touch with him and have nicknamed him Boycie ever since
Don’t forget Denzil, Mike the barman and Boycey too in this clip. Wonderful ensemble acting, great characterisation & brilliant writing. Quality like this doesn’t come around to often. Ken Dodd said good comics are liked but great comics are loved. I’m sure all us fans relive the joy each time we view the episodes.✊
I would like to have a friend like "Trigger". He might be a bit behind, with the conversation, but his heart is in the right place. He was a good friend to Del Boy, and Rodney, and the North London branch of the Trotter family, who were Del Boy's cousin Stan, Stan's wife, Jean, and Great Uncle Albert, in Strained Relations, when it was Grandad Trotter's funeral. He opened the Trotter family's flat, whilst Del Boy was paying the vicar.
Gareth Davies If you simply try to act like an idiot, you’ll only come across as a real idiot trying to act. In comedy, you have to act like a very funny idiot, and if you combine the true comedy with the idiot part, you’ll come across as a clever actor, not someone who misses the point...like you have.
I know, it took him a few seconds to realize what Trigger said and then he even repeats "Ghandi?" thinking he may have misheard him. Very realistic, as when people say something so random like that it usually takes people a few seconds to process what they said. My sister often gets words mixed up, she once said "Don't get testicle with me." when she meant technical. Took us a few seconds to realise what she said. All what was missing for us was the laugh track.
@@hayyanazam5854 Brilliant stuff. I could spend all day and not be able to think one funny thing.This writer was some talent and the actors each one of them fitted the characters so well.Can watch it for ever
@@mattinfullvision9598, hello, Matt. It's Michael, the friend, who you were chatting to a few months ago, about Only Fools, And Horses. I have found Trigger's birth name, on Wikipedia, when I was searching for their real names, because Del Boy had given them all nicknames, when he was a teenager, and he lived on the Dockside Estate, Peckham, in the 1960s.
@@stevegreen9460 Yes 1981 until 2002. An incredibly high standard of writing by John Sullivan. Jim Broadbent, who played DCI Slater, was the original choice for Del Boy. John's idea of Del Boy was someone in jeans with a pot belly. David said that he had seen the character as a partner in an electrical firm. David and friend were electricians and looking for work . He was immaculately dressed with a camel coloured overcoat and was always straightening the shoulders and sleeves of his jacket, Also it made David laugh when this dapper man had a Sarf London accent and was a real wide boy, which did not go with his image.
Great scripts perfect casting perfect acting, and perfect comic timing. trigger only has to be in a scene and you know he'll come out with a corker of a line
Hear Hear, i've yet to laugh at BBCs recent offerings, Warren, Dont forget the driver, Mum. For me these are all laughter free zones. OFAH will be remembered for it's brilliant writing and actors.
@Anthony Williams If you truly believe those shows are better than such as OFAH then there's no hope for you and all of your opinions can be safely disregarded
@fus149 Hammer I could not agree more. Also it was clean comedy. Dad's Army and Hi Di Hi were other great series with marvelous ensemble acting, and brilliant scripts by Croft and Perry. The quality of writing is just not as good now.
Brilliant writing, Trigger by far had the best lines, legendary British comedy. Superbly played by Roger Lloyd Pack, from the pen of the brilliant John Sullivan. R.I.P.
Del wanting to leave at the end because he just can’t take it no more, that part is the cherry on top. Such great memories watching this with my dad may he Rest In Peace.
One of the greatest comedy progammes of all time brilliant writers actors, actresses, trigger so daft but played so well by roger lloyd pack , all legends .
They couldn't, this was probably take seventeen. I used John 'Boycie' Challis for a radio commercial voice over once. He told me how they would fall about laughing when doing takes. Lovely bloke too.
I watched it always hoping he was in it.!! Words will never do justice to Rodger LLoyd Pack. There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe his delivery.
Yes but you can see just after he made the Ghandi comment, there's a slight smile on his face and he's trying not to laugh. This scene must have had a few bloopers I reckon.
The amazing thing is this is also a commentary on 'progress.'. Then a watch telling where you are in the world was extraordinary. Now, with GPS, we take it for granted.
Oh what fantastic happy, crying with laughter, memories. That many people laughing their heads off when this was on TV must have caused seismic vibes on the other side of the world.
Apart from Del and Rodney,many loved Trigger,Bosie,Marleen.What i loved was the fact that some other wonderful characters were introduced that i feel could have been given more airtime.Two that spring to mind are Mental Mickey and Shadow.
Trigger had the fewest lines to say in each episode, but he got the most laughs, genius writing, and comedic timing from him was legendary god rest his soul...
Cheers Dave.
Roger Lloyd Pack was a master at character comedy... great timing and perfect deadpan delivery.
RIP Roger
I liked him in The Vicar of Dibley
Trigger a true legend, he was one of kind. He lives in his own bubble and that is what makes him unique in his choice of words.
How could anybody not love Trigger. One of the greatest comedy characters
They are Actors NOT characters
They are actors played by REAL LIFE PEOPLE
he reminds me of the 'i'll get my coat' character from The Fast Show.
Get a life. 🤣🤣🤣@@stephensnell5707
He was brilliant in the vicar of dibbly with his magnificent farting duck.
Every so often I go back to these clips and it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched them I still laugh my head off.

That's exactly what I'm doing now.
Brilliant!
You put a bit of music on Dave 😂😂😂😂 that’s probably one of my favourite clips

Can’t imagine anyone else playing Trigger. The face and timing is perfect.
It's the world that couldn't keep up with Trigger. You legend

Brilliant actor.
That's right Ash.

Triggers probably from the year 2021 n thought what’s this shit so went back to only fools years
"I mean he made one great film and then you never saw him again"

You’re right.. his timing was split second perfect.. you can’t teach that.
RIP Roger, and thanks for the laughs.
Propjoe10 agree 100%. Modern comics can’t come close to this. It’s simply on another level 👍

Can't ever see comedy shows like this ever being made again .each episode was a classic in its own way ..
Omg John Sullivan is absolutely brilliant. The guys a genius. This wipes the floor with the Hollywood rubbish. Really does
That’s the thing Hollywood is all about the glitz and glamour but there’s no genius in it like there is for comedy writing (especially British humour)
There's some really good ones that rely on wit and characterisation, like National Lampoon's Vacation, Trading Places and Used Cars.
It sure does. And every character plays their part superbly
Great comedy
@@Maxmorris12 I've had more laughs at a funeral than you get in American attempts at comedy, childish playground humour at its best
Was a genius .
"I thought you said they worked 24hours? "
Trigger: " Yes! But not at nights!"
😂🙌
Top class
Augustin Berishaj that was a classic episode 😂
Actually the line was , Del Boy "I thought you said it was open 24 hours" Trigger " Yeah , but not at night "

Just the little touch in Rodney carrying on whilst his mind works out what trigger said, and then responding to it. Makes all the difference lol

Good old Trigg. God bless him.
Trigger steals the scene everytime a comic genius Roger Lloyd Pack.
'It's more than just watch. It tells you where you are, anywhere in the world.'
'Ow'd it get lost, then?'

How did they not laugh at the Ghandi line? Absolute class!😂
Watch David Jason's expression just prior to Roger delivering those immortal lines. He knew what was coming.
Watch this over and over and I still pass myself. Fantastic. Trigger is a legend.
The “Ooooo” from Trigger killed me 😂😂😂

todays "comedy" just is not funny at all
@Damian Howard Here here! Well said.
The BBC doesn't show Only Fools, And Horses anymore. It is on a channel, called Gold, if any TH-cam viewers want to know where to find it.
Remembering, one man, John Sullivan, wrote all these 64 incredibly funny episodes over 22years. Not a team, just one. Just letting that sink in.
Absolute genius writing and these lads pull it of to perfection!!! Absolutely hilarious!! Trigger you were a legend mate!!
