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...
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.
@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
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.
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.✊
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.
@@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.
@@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.
Notice - No cursing. No political division. No viciousness. No observational "comedy" (ie, bitter women endlessly taking about their periods, mammograms or inadequate sexual encounters). Only Fools and Horses was good, clever and delightful humor.
Umm, what? 1) They COULDN'T swear because of TV censorship, which is why they used lesser known cockney swear words that the upper class TV executives had never heard of (watch the making of documentaries); 2) they did swear in the later series because they were a hit, so the executives lessened their grip on the censorship "yes, piss off" "just fuck off, Rodney" (Rodney erasing the spreadsheet at work) "SHIT!"; 3) no political divisions? Del being a Thatcherite and Rodney criticising him for his social aspirations and views on class; "only women bleed," "women are dodgy," "AIDs is man made," "but if a woman does the same thing, then she's a slut." What show are you watching, exactly? There's being forgetful, then there's being delusional. I think you need to take the rose tinted glasses off, mate. If you hate shows with swearing and politics, then you should definitely hate OFAH.
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
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
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.
Now the BBC have a subscription channel showing programmes that licence fee payers have funded... Do they get a refund or free subscription or some of the profits?
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.
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 know im now in my sixties,but I spend my time watching re runs of genuinely funny show from the ,70s/80s. Tried todays stuff and just don't find it anywhere remotely as funny. Seems to.be aimed at the woke crowd or those who tune into itv2!!
It was lost in 1981, during a house clearing. Del Boy said that, "We don't bother with the receipts, because they clutter the place up". Then Rodney found the receipt, and Del Boy said, "Good boy, Rodney. What did I always say ?. Keep the receipts".
Comedians of today are not fit to clean Triggers, Rodney or Dels shoes. They don’t even make me smile. In this 2:35 minutes video i laughing out loud 5 times
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
Pure genius and pure classic
Trig's greatest moment .... IMO
Nice girl, had a funny eye, couldnt tell if she was looking at me or seeing if a bus was coming 😂
🤣🤣
Trigger was my favourite
LESS THAN 3 MINUTES ??? Jeez ! Thank you . At least put a link to the full episode .
Trigger oooo. God love Roger Lloyd Pack x

"Are you sure?"

Roger Lloyd Pack was a master at character comedy... great timing and perfect deadpan delivery.

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

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.

You’re right.. his timing was split second perfect.. you can’t teach that.

Can't ever see comedy shows like this ever being made again .each episode was a classic in its own way ..
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.
