Only Fools and Horses - S5E5 'Video Nasty'
Comments (74)
I loved the shitty 'American Adaptation' of OFAH In the intro, jess wouldnt last long the show with how giddy she is 🤣
Do Americans call Tipp-Ex, white out?
"Theres a rhino loose in the city" 😂😂
I’m in stitches and the episode hasn’t even started yet😂👏🏻
only fools gets better and better every epp
Hey guys. I found this reaction tough to watch. I loved you guys, I loved the episode but... the audio was all out of sync. Your audio was perfect but the OFAH audio did not match with their mouths. Uncomfortable viewing I'm afraid. Did anyone else notice this or was it just my phone??
I didn't notice when I watched it. I just checked it again and it seemed fine.
Love you guys,, :)
"I have heard rumours Micky Mouse wears a Rodney Trotter wristwatch. " Boycie is my favourite non-Trotter character.
There's a rhino loose in the city has to be one of my favourite scenes it always makes me laugh 😆❤️
outfits are amazing as usual
Different strokes I guess: I think it's a cracking episode. The rhino story, "jaffa", the cut from Micky filming the nurse to the anniversary party. A consistent laugh out loud episode for me.
Me too. Totally agree. Next one is the one I'm not so keen on (although, not watched it for years) but this I've always enjoyed.
As others have mentioned previously a hundred times we're boring you two to death 🥱 but dont worry cos in a couple of seasons....you will have fallen asleep
what?
One of the weaker episodes, but the rhino story was gold
As others have mentioned this is one of the weaker episodes from this season, however even weaker OFAH episodes are still pretty funny. The rhino loose in the city part is hilarious.
Mike, that is pretty awesome how much you look like Del right there 🤣
The reason this episode seems a little different is when it was written David Jason was planning to leave the show at the end of this series’ run and writer John Sullivan was planning to make any future series a more of an ensemble show, especially Mickey Pearce was going to move into the flat with Rodney and Albert, so this episode was a trial run to see how any future episodes would look. Fortunately David Jason changed his mind as I don’t think it would work without Del Boy.
I’m curious how Hot Rod would have turned out, but of course it was great DJ decided to stay
Nice props.
I know you probably have the next few weeks planned, but just in case you have space for a one-off slot with some series ending, and with the World Cup starting in a few days, it would be amazing if you could take a look at a Kevin Bridges' football/travel documentary that came out on Friday on the BBC - Kevin Bridges: In Search Of The Beautiful Game
I hope Jess didn't go out like that. If she stood at the end of the road, all of the cars would have been stopped there waiting for her to turn green
As a complete series OHAH come closer to perfection than any other, but even it has its weak episodes, with this being one of them. A dull plot, Trigger has no killer one liners like usual and the drumbeat punchline at the end is just a bit lame. Next one isn't brilliant either but after that they're mostly classics again
Ha ha ha ha ha
Forgot how quality this episode was. I know a lot of people don't like it but for me it's really good, definitely not a weak one
Same here 👍
Well done mike on the shifty Del boy eyes.....nailed it
This episode is a bit of a mess but there are enough good moments to pull it through.
Nice outfits, Jess looks like a Swan Vesta in camouflage
There’s a rhino loose in the city is the best 5 minutes in all of fools and horses
Glad you enjoyed this one, as it's often considered one of the weaker episodes. I'll be glad when you get the next two out of the way, because I love most of the episodes that follow.
Thank you, the effort you put in at the beginning had me in stitches. So great to see new fans embracing the show
Remember the Driscoll Brothers!
OK you got me. For a moment I was genuinely worried you guys had hurt yourselves!
Jess looks like an oompa loompa 😂😂 love your commitment guys! Absolutely brilliant! 😂❤️
This was a tester episode to see if they could get more characters into the show. Trigger, boycie, mickey, mike etc, and it seems cramped. Eventually they realised 30 mins was not enough time. Very soon the shows episodes go to 50 mins plus and the budget massively increased due to the show becoming more popular in the uk. This is why in the uk we call after season 5 the peak times.
I have to say - not one of my favourite episodes. Just my opinion 🫤
Video nasty is a colloquial term popularised by the NVALA (National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association) in the UK to refer to a number of films, typically low-budget horror or exploitation films, distributed on VHS in the early 1980s that were criticised by the press, social commentators, and various religious organisations for their explicitly horrific, brutal, and/or pornographic content. These video releases were not submitted to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) due to a loophole in film classification laws that allowed them to bypass the review process. The resulting uncensored video releases sparked public debate over the availability of these films to children, given the market's unregulated nature. Some key titles that were on the infamous “Video Nasty” list include: Anthropophagous: The Beast (1980) A Bay of Blood (1971) Blood Feast (1963) Cannibal Holocaust (1979) The Burning (1981) The Driller Killer (1979) The Evil Dead (1981) I Spit on Your Grave (1978) Tenebrae (1982) The Last House on the Left (1972) Times change, and all of them have since been certified and released uncut on home media and streaming services.
One of my least favourite episodes (although I love the Rhino idea 😂). Next week's one is pretty good, and then you're into three Christmas specials (two pretty good and one is a classic), and then the best series of all, season 6 :)
As others have said, this is definitely one of the weaker episodes, doesn’t help that it’s coming off the back of two of the very best episodes.
I've never looked at this as being a weak episode, I've always loved it. Next one is one of my 'weaker episodes ' but this to me, was always solid!
The lead writer for Red Dead Redemption 2 Dan Houser is from London. He is most likely is an Only Fools and Horses fan.... Driscol brothers, Uncle as a bad back for a few minutes in a future episode (not a major spoiler). These are probably little homages to Only Fools and Horses in Red Dead Redemption 2
Which were taken by Sullivan from Steptoe and Son. The Driscoll brothers being Frankie Barrow and his gang and Albert has the bad back situation just like Uncle Albert's in the episode 'Upstairs, Downstairs, Upstairs, Downstairs'.
"Mr Boyce, prawn balls.."
This is the last truly weak episode in my opinion. Still enjoy it but it doesn't hit like the rest.
nah a royal flush Is a rough watch but smooth sailing after that.
‘I’ve heard rumours Mickey Mouse wears a Rodney Trotter wristwatch’ 😆😆😅
I always thought this was a weak episode
"He's got chance to do something legit" aged like milk 🤣
You pair are hilarious!! 😭
What you after Mike, sympathy from Jess or a disabled sticker for the van? 🤣😂
YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU VICIOUS LITTLE GIT! I MAY NEVER WALK AGAIN FOR THE REST OF MY -
I’ve been waiting to see your reactions to ‘There’s a Rhino Loose in the City’ 🤣
Ive been waiting to it as a Hollywood Movie but so far, ive not heard of it being released. Theres a Rhino Loose In The City would break records!!
Vide nasty was a term used for low budget horror films that were banned in the UK from cinema release but because VHS was a new invention there was no law for film companies to release then on VHS they did. The market in the UK in the early 80s was flooded with horror films like Driller Killer and Cannibal Holocaust, and the cover art was always something graphically violent.
hopefully a month from today well be on season 6 . and then youl know why this is the greatest show on earth.
Yes, season 6 with the longer episodes was a complete game-changer.
The outfits made me smile
What an introduction. Haha. Amazing. ❤️
Best outfits yet guys 👌👌👌
The damn O'Driscoll's got Delboy Dutch
Love you guys that was soo hilarious!
I assume this was a mistake, but it always bothered me that it was Boicey was introducing the film. It was established that Mickey was going behind his back to “cut the middle man out”.
What always bothered me was when Rodney comes out to discover she had her kit off. In the scene we see it, he turns anti-clockwise to go back into the kitchen, but on the video they’re all watching he turns clockwise. Can’t unsee it now.
Loving the cos play, Mike and Jess! Not a bad episode, made better by the two scenes where Del outlines to Rodney his Rhino story and where Del, Rodney and Uncle Albert are in the Chinese takeaway and learn about Boycie firing blanks.
You guys crack me up ❤️
A "Video Nasty" was a term for low budget horror films in the 70s/80s. At least in the UK.
I always thought they were like banned and graphic, usually past around on the black market. Not real gore but as close as
So you can see, they’re started experimenting with shooting in the Nag’s Head from a different angle, because they found the original layout to be too restrictive. This is definitely one of the weaker episodes in the series; the only thing it has going for it is the ‘There is a Rhino Loose in the City’ scene.
That scene is classic though.
