Only Fools and Horses - S5E7 'A Royal Flush'

I can't get over how bad Del Boy is. Dragging up the dirt up on Rodney. Absolutely no manners.

No matter your circumstances, you do know how to behave at certain situations and places. He wasn't in a cinema

I never knew the writer didn’t like this episode. It’s always been one of my least favourites.

I do like this episode but prefer the more heavily cut version. Because I think the way dels character was written in this was far too mean and not like his usual self

Rodney would like to smack Del's head in

This is a jealousy thing with Del, that Rodney has met a beautiful woman of status

Even Rodney knows how to behave. Del is giving me the irrits.

Why is Del like this in this episode he knows about decorum in other episodes

How can Del be so ignorant of what is happening between Victoria and Rodney. They interested in each other as they are

Everyone misses the Pull / Paul joke 😩

My mom used to sell fruit and veg at Stockton Market back in the 90s she would shout just like Del trying to pull in the crowd hahaha I love this episode. The specials are always a good watch. Stockton Market was arguably one of the best and biggest in the country and albeit its a little smaller now its still goes every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We call it the Queen of the North.

Didn't expect a Skyrim reference 😂 Amazing

I love greasy spoon cafes like Sids. They always serve the best full English

I swear I haven’t ever seen the uncut version of this before. I can see why they cut parts out now lol.

It’s all nonsense. Don’t listen to anyone and make your own mind up about it.

I love this episode

Del + pump action at society shoot is one of the all time best comedy moments

I am one of those "BIG" 'OFAH' FANS and I forgive and try to forget this episode for 2 reasons.... 1. John Sullivan was rushed into this episode (they thought David Jason would not be back and was set to leave after the last episode when that didnt happened they were asked to do that years special) and the final edit, just 24 hours before it was due to be aired coincided with a pre booked and much needed holiday that he didn't cancel and therefore missed the edit. He's allowed to have had an off day with his writing in atleast one episode and thankfully the only one so I forgive it. ... 2. I try to forget it by trying not to watch this episode (I did it cause I love you guys reacting to ofah in particular- and was the only reason I started watching and paying to watch you in the first place. Then also reiterating that as many others say the best is yet to come and Del has so many other redeeming qualities but this episode is NOT the true Del boy. We and Rodney knew he'd had too much to drink that night and acted BADLY... We allow that one mistake. John Sullivan ensured he never let it happen again!!!

I was born just days before this aired, practically 40 years later and it’s still gold.

Yeah there's markets every day here. Covered (indoor) markets and outdoor markets like this.

I’m late to the comments on this one but this episode feels like it deserves a well known Pulp song…..

Sure the one I watched had a studio laugh track. Good to watch without

Is Peep Show not happening this week?

I hadn't seen this episode... It was horrible 😅 Hated Del the entire time, not at all charming.

I had never thought of the Jack and Rose comparison before but it's so true.

This episode isn't the best, in fact it's the lowest rated by viewers on IMDB -though I'm personally not overly keen on the final (S9) season. But what we are coming to next is peak OFAH, both in terms of ratings and viewing figures. Two Christmas specials to complete S5 and then S6 where every episode is really good. Looking forward to it, even though it's so well know to most Brits that you know exactly what is about to be said and happen!

" When you're ready John " " Do you mean pull? " " Oh sorry Paul " 😂😂😂

I don't know if this was intended or not in the writing by John Sullivan but it's stated by vickys Dad that she had several people she fetched back to the house "going through her art phase" then later when confronting del he said she was leaving in 2 months for America yet she'd never mentioned it to Rodney, pair that with the conversation with Del at the end I get the feeling that her father would have ended the relationship anyway no matter what as whoever it was she fetched back he never approved of( wasn't of royal background) so ultimately I feel what del did just gave the excuse the dukes character.

🍿 Cue the bickering about if it's a good episode or not! The simple facts are it has some genuinely funny moments and Delboy did what he did knowing the relationship was doomed due to the circumstances lifestyles and Vickys future plans and yes he could of gone about it in a more agreeable way for sure, but this is Delboy after all and his heart is always in the right place even if his brain isn't. The money aspect is definitely out or order but it's just a episode of a TV show, banging episode coming up, hopefully fully uncut as Dates is a very important episode.

One of my favourite episodes.

I personally love this episode,however I see why people don't feel the same. Del's actions are deplorable at best. definitely had no place interfering. she didn't seem bothered that he came from nothing. both young and Into the same things. let Rodney have some joy in his life. I think thats why people don't like this episode. it shows the worst side of Del, even if he thinks he is doing the right thing. it was not his place to decide. family should be there to support. all that being said some classic moments.

@ 27.27 does remind me of Pulps "Common people"

Agreed this episode is poor.... Both del and Rodney are off the charts stupid and clueless in this one.... Unrealistically so!

Can’t wait for the next few series, not to spoil it but definitely a lot of good characters still to come ☺️

I think the tickets were genuine otherwise someone would be sat in their seat

Yeah the markets are pretty much all the time, the one in my town is every day pretty much although much smaller than it used to be on most days - they specialise on different days, so Thursdays is antiques, militaria an collectible stuff

David Jason plays a brilliant drunk. It would be easy to believe he got pissed before they started filming.

Rupert maxwell 🤣

Imagine being a reactor and people keep telling you what to expect...

I really need to remember to watch the reaction before reading the comments section so I can form my own opinion. Now I'm going to be looking out for all the stuff people are complaining about damn it. 🫣

People have gone too soft this episode is brilliant doesn't deserve all the hate!!!

The good news is, every episode after this one (and before) is an absolute banger. Every series, no matter how good has a weakest episode, and for me this is it, and it isn't really close

'On the other hand she could be a posh tart fancying a bit of scrag' You've encountered that angle before in your music reactions, 'Common People' by Pulp

I watched and recorded it on Christmas Day, 1986. I enjoyed it just like any other episode. I thought it got a bit dark at the end, but "worst episode ever" never entered my head. The following year when I saw a trailer for "The Frog's Legacy," I didn't think to myself, "I'm not watching that, Del was too mean and nasty in the last one!"

The more times I watch this with reactors the more I can find to appreciate about it despite its failings. The opening scenes in the market and cafe, Uncle Albert being taken in by the staff 'downstairs' and a good supporting cast, particularly the Duke with some great lines... 'Harlem bloody globetrotters'

Next Specials are Especially the next one opens up an incredible story.

Awful episode, glad it’s over with now, only brilliance from here on out (mostly). Little note from me, the difference between the show volume and your commentary was quite different making it hard to watch without always changing the volume lol

It really annoys me when people give their evaluation of ofah episodes before the reactors view them. Let people make up their own minds.If you really need to review each episode,then go on imdb.Part of the enjoyment of ofah is watching it for the 1st time with no preconceived notions. Thank god i saw these shows originally, otherwise i'd be seriously put off watching them nowadays. Rant over.

I find this so hard to watch and don’t watch very often as I spend most of the time cringing. Del with his sawn off shot gun borrowed from Higgy Higgins always make me laugh

Great reaction mike and jess, i agree possibly 1 of weaker episodes but many comedys really aint stood the test of time so yeah its possibly a 5 outta 10 6 outta 10 script but acting was still pukka but john sullivan knocked so many scripts out of park always gonna be 1 bad egg in there. I still enjoyed reaction, love your content keep up the great work

Everything was against the filming of this episode. David Jason had a streaming cold. They only had 2 weeks to edit before Christmas day. John Sullivan was not around during filming and editing. So they had 3 negatives hampering things.

I'm so glad Mike looked up this ep beforehand, I'm glad they went into it knowing John regretted how he wrote Del. Tbh 'Diamonds are for Heather' and this episode I usually skip. This episode just felt weird, like they were actively trying to make Del unlikable for no reason. Just don't get the direction they were going with this episode

You do indeed look like del mike

This is a cringey episode. I remember it well, but shorter and with a laugh track over the dinner scene. Especially cringey as David Jason was looking to leave OFAH earlier in S5. This was aired in 86, we had a couple of years of Christmas specials, and S6 didn't air until 89... Now, I'm also pleased that Rodney/Dave didn't get serious with Victoria.

i know you guys have a very long queue for shows and movies, but i strongly recommend the carry on films, it’s a british institution

Not one of my favourites but it doesn't deserve some of the hate it gets

I like Mike's idea about the show splitting so you've got the regular show we all know and love and this one on a separate strand where Rodney and Vicky could have been left to it, I reckon they had a chance.

I prefer this to the frogs legacy.

The next nine episodes for me is the peak of OFAH. This one is shite.

One thing I will say is that the two specials which follow this are among my favourite episodes of OFAH, and both pivitol for later in the series

I’m glad you saw the good in this episode . As you always do . The goats of reactions ❤️

Perhaps Del was still smarting from losing his Australian dream, which made him act like a bell here...

There are the foundations of a really good episode here. Rodney and Vicky work really well together. They just needed to reign Del in - the painful opera and meal scenes go on too long. I’ve never seen Del as being particularly nasty though - he just seems like the embarrassing family member who’s had way too much to drink. The shotgun scene is fantastic.

Think this is the one John the writer thought about it again and wasnt his best episode as it made del seem well not the lovable guy he wanted him to be.

The best way for me to deal with dels ways in this episode , is to imagine “who wants to be a millionaire”. Del had the chance to go to Australia and become a millionaire. But Rodney gave Del the 3rd degree about family and loyalties. So I give Del a pass as he didn’t want Rodney to leave him. But just imagine if Rodney was supportive and let Del go. Rodney could of gone down the market alone and still met Vicky

Love you guys can get your hands on the original episode this episode and (tea for three especially)are now cut to pieces, that's why you are my "numero uno" number one reactors😂 Long may it continue ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

I think you missed the point that Del was making a joke about a skiing accident, which is what killed the Duke's wife, that's why he flipped out.

I've seen this one probably over 50 times, the cringe doesn't get any better, it's through the fingers viewing every time.

I'm watching along with you for the first time and I can honestly say I don't get the hate. The opera scene was out of character for Del big time, he's always understood social graces so this is just bad, weird writing. Besides that it wasn't that bad and I'm glad you watched the original version. Still Game took this episode concept and did it much much better.

We have the BARRAS market in Glasgow on sat and sun ...loved going there with mum and dad! it's a shadow of its former self these days but you can find some interesting things there still especially in the Antique halls there xx

I seem to be in the minority but I love this episode, it's part of the journey. Del boy being Del and unfortunately a drunk Del. I'm made up you've got to this point OFAH really kicks into gear from now imo. Great reaction as always Mike and Jess...This time next year you'll be millionaires! 🤣❤️x

John Sullivan always wanted to re-write Del's scenes in this episode. He hated how he had written Del so much he apologised to David Jason for letting him down. He wanted Del to be a funny, charming drunk with a few awkward scenes but though instead he had made him obnoxious. He alway regretted that

strange seeing people of London back in the day when he is out on the streets ect , a lot different to today :/

I'm the biggest team del rep, so this one is a tough watch - still great writing though. But I think dave will be team del himself fairly soon! Great reaction as always guys

Yeah this is one episode I won't watch, see you next week.

Lots of writers write shows that aren’t as popular as others it doesn’t mean they are bad writers, sometimes it’s not always the writing other factors come into it. There were a lot of sitcom around that time which you’re going to be influenced by and sometimes I suppose steal directly from. I’m not sure if John mentioned that he stole from that episode of Steptoe you referred to, I hope he did and gave credit. Let’s not forget though he wrote all 64 episodes and 19 Christmas specials of only fools and horses of incredibly high and consistent standard and which has become a part of British life. You simply can’t do that by just copying other people’s work.

There is a hidden story behind this episode, Victoria facial expression of disappointment & hurt thinking she had found someone to bring some normality into her life. Reminds you of someone

I am shocked, I have never seen all these extra little bits that they obviously cut from the show. It isn't Del at all, I now understand the controversy.

Great reaction🙌, at least the cringiest episodes gone. A monkey is £500 by the way

He meant piss artist, which means Del like a drink.

It's probably the only episode in OFAH collection that is a little awkward to watch. I think John Sullivan realised this and upped his game massively after this one.

This episode did show Del in a bad light, but I still enjoyed it. Some funny moments.

Hey guys, yes we do have these markets all the time. All across the UK.

Some may disagree, as I know a lot of people really dislike Del Boy in this episode and find The Royal Flush uncomfortable viewing. To be fair, there are moments where he is at his absolute worst – manipulative, disrespectful, embarrassing, and genuinely hurtful towards Rodney. It can be a very awkward watch at times. However, looking back at it now as an adult, I think the intention behind Del's actions was better than the way he carried them out. In my opinion, there was a genuine desire to protect Rodney. Victoria was leaving for America within a couple of months, and there is every chance Rodney would never have heard from her again. Her father even admitted that she had a habit of bringing men from the "real world" back into her life despite them not fitting into the world she came from, suggesting this wasn't the first time it had happened. Whether Victoria was simply curious about life outside her privileged upbringing, rebelling against her background, or just going through a phase, we'll never know. What Del saw was a situation where Rodney was becoming emotionally invested in someone from a completely different world, with little chance of it ending happily. Del was also right about one thing: these were people with connections, influence, and protection that Rodney could never compete with. Given Rodney's previous conviction, Del genuinely feared that getting too involved with Victoria could bring trouble his brother wasn't equipped to deal with. At the same time, Del being Del, he also spotted a business opportunity. That's part of his character. He was always looking for the next deal, the next angle, the next way to make a few quid. In his mind, he could protect Rodney and make some money in the process. The problem wasn't necessarily what Del was trying to achieve; it was how he went about it. His methods were insensitive, overbearing, and often humiliating. He treated Rodney like a child rather than a grown man capable of making his own decisions. That's why so many people dislike Del in this episode. For me, The Royal Flush isn't a story about Del being malicious. It's a story about a brother who genuinely cared, but whose pride, interfering nature, and inability to mind his own business led him to handle everything in completely the wrong way. The intent was there, but the execution was a disaster.

There's two versions of this, John Sullivan wasn't happy with the broadcast version so had his own edited version made for future release, still don't really know the difference. You'll find frogs legency very interesting 👌

Oh this was painful.

Open air market days in my town are Tuesday and Thursday, I'm not sure if other places do them everyday.

This episode doesn't deserve the hate. I don't know if it's what Sullivan had in mind, but my interpretation was always that Del had a lot of sub-conscious jealousy about Rodney falling arse backwards into this situation and his sabotaging of the relationship was Del acting out. There was also possibly also a bit of unchecked resentment for Rodney wrecking his big chance in Australia.

while this IS imo the worst episode of OFAH, it has good moments, every show has its bad episode that splits fans 50/50, we get over it and enjoy the future episodes, the ones that made this show the legendary show it is today, the ride is just beginning, 2 great specials up next :) edit; i just watched the last 4 mins of your reaction, you actually took it really well lol and mike your right, even MOST team del fans like myself know this is a cringe episode for him, fortunatly hes never this bad again lol john sullivan must have been like 'noooope, not doing that again' lol

I am writing this before watching it, I reckon scumbag may make an appearance

Okay this is definitely the weakest of the specials, until the early 2000s ones, but I don’t think it’s as bad as some people make out, also after this we embark on a run of 15 absolute classic episodes in a row, a run that would firmly establish OFAH as Britain’s favourite comedy.

This original version is actually decent, it’s the edit that’s a mess. Sullivan should just have left it alone. Is Royal Flush on the same level as the other feature length specials? No, but it is still a good time. If this is the weakest episode in the series then it just shows you how good the show was.

I can see why people dont like this. Its the first time I've ever seen this version and its over crowded. there is so much cut from the version ive seen with laughter.

12:50 never noticed that Rodney already told her his name and then she asked him again for it to setup that Trigger joke.

I think this episode is proof of the genius that was John Sullivan. All a writer is ever looking for is to produce a piece that enables the viewer/reader to feel real emotion - in the case of Del that emotion is normally joy. In this episode Del comes across as insecure, selfish, intolerant and oblivious to anyone else’s feelings. I don’t know about anyone else but the scenes at the opera and at the shoot make me curl up and cringe and literally despise Del. That only happens due to the genius of the writing, and of course the skill of the actor.

The theatre scene is still hilarious to me. Del was just being extra annoying.

Some great lines but definitely not Dels finest moment. Not long

I think this episode isn't completely out of character for Del, besides the absolute relentlessness of his indescretions and self-centredness. It's a longer episode yet essentially has one 'fish out of water' joke which is why it feels too much. If there was a bit more to it and that was just one of several threads to the plot line, it wouldn't feel quite like Del was victimising Rodney in a mean way. It wasn't an awful idea but could have been executed better to make it less uncomfortable. Still love OFAH.

I don’t get the hate either. I’d watch these two guys in a carpet sample advert.

The duke wasn’t angry because he’d heard the story. The wife died on a skiing holiday. That’s why the line “you’ll like this one, it’s a killer” made him snap.

I think this episode has an even bigger impact if you're British. We grow up in a class based system, and it's hilarious to think of a royal lady on a date with someone at the Opera, and then his annoying brother and loud girlfriend walks in with her boobs bouncing all over the place 😂 I'm actually a big fan of this episode and think it has some great scenes. Even the final scene (although cruel by Del Boy) is done because he wants to protect his brother. There's method behind it and I can never quite understand the hate the episode gets.

I much prefer the original version to the edited one. The edited cut just feels messy and, for me, only adds to the problems of an already controversial episode. I'm glad you guys watched it as it was originally presented as. I do have issues with it, especially the end but I don't outright hate it. I actually love the opera scenes (perhaps the only one!) and Del's "Paul!" line when he's clay pigeon shooting. I don't know if it's canon or simply subtext, but I've heard the argument that part of Del's behaviour stems from Rodney scuppering his dream of emigrating to Australia, which at least gives some context to why he's so horrible.

Nice hair colour Jess

Del was still holding some resentment from the last episode about him staying for Rodders instead of going for his dream . Well that’s the way I see it anyway ….😀

I disagree with this being a bad episode. It has faults but it’s not bad. Actually, what I take issue with is Del’s sporadic threats of violence (“Carry on like that, I’ll knock your out” style lines) that are throughout the show. On at least one occasion, he takes Rodney by the scruff of the neck. That feels out of place to the character as he really isn’t this toxic-masculinity style guy.

I live in Berkshire. Boring? Yeah, a little 😄. Actually, it’s not, it’s beautiful but I do enjoy going into London.

It's easy to over-analyse this (and I usually do 🙂) but as I understand this was produced with the schedule disrupted by illness and other commitments of the main actors and production staff, they were running out of edit time and it didn't receive the polish that it should have. Had it done so it wouldn't have seemed so out-of-place. I think the lesson we viewers should take from it is that making a successful TV programme is not just actors turning up and saying their lines while being filmed. There's a lot of work needed behind the scenes, and even when you have the best people, if that work isn't done, it shows.

I didnt even know there was 2 versions i have never seen this version without the laughter

No Mike. Avoid opera at all costs!!!

The one episode I can't watch, I don't like either Del or Rodney, it makes me cringe.

The next two specials your watching are fantastic.

Is this the original cut? I’ve only seen the edited version, and I don’t remember Del being this awful at the opera (I’m only halfway through watching). It is pretty excruciating! lol

I was thinking 'Lady and the Tramp' early on. Then Mike said it. 😄

This is a bizarre one. It's the only episode I struggle through. It just seems off. I think it lacks funny lines. It's strange because the next episode 'The Frog's Legacy' is back to classic Only Fools and Horses. I think they had to rush this one to get it out in time for Christmas and John Sullivan was away filming another one of his sitcoms. Had he been on the Fools and Horses set, he might have been able to salvage it. It has its fans, but I'm glad this one is out of the way.

Longer version is rough, but the Del using a pump-action to shoot clays is a nice break in the episode... Also in an ideal world here He'd told (when in the Cafe ) Vicky about the short stay at college, & why (or at least a half truth) ,.. think she's probably 70/30 & gonna still be interested, wouldn't change Del popping off ... But wouldn't be left of the image of Vicky having an almost disgust for Rodney, if she'd known before it's nowhere near as bad...

Yeah....this one's a stinker. Far and away the worst episode for me. I haven't started watching yet but judging by the runtime it looks like you guys have got the original version, uncut. I better prepare myself for a miserable watch 😂💔🥀

It’s hilarious how over the top people are about this episode. Sure, it’s a dip in form, but there’s another episode next week so it doesn’t matter. Everyone could have talked about it after it happened instead of pretending to warn them about something. For me, the biggest problem with this episode is it’s two dimensional. There are no sub plots and there isn’t much going on, so it’s just Del being a dick the whole time. I imagine Sullivan’s original idea was for the ‘fish out of water’ scenarios to be more slapstick in tone, which worked at the opera for a while, they just took it too far and the scene went on too long. Still enjoyable though.

I don’t agree that this is the worst episode of OFAH, nor do I think that Del is unlikeable here. Del became more unbearable to the guests as the evening went on, fuelled by copious amounts of wine and Champagne, which made him much more relaxed and more inclined to “big” his brother up in front of Vicki’s father, completely unaware that in doing so, he was only making the situation worse for Rodney. You can really see the difference in the two brothers in this episode: Del is a “what you see is what you get” type of person - what the youngsters would call “keeping it real.” Rodney has a bit more about him, especially in social situations, but sometimes (as in this episode and the chandelier episode) when he meets nobility, he tries too hard to fit in, making sure he speaks the correct King’s English, as he is obviously conscious of his rough upbringing, so tries harder to project a better image of himself.

David Jason and John Sulliven hated this episode, david thought it potrayed del in a bad way. Mind from now on till the show ends every episode is a 8 or above.

I like this episode.. its poignant and painful..and ultimately shows the stuckness of their situation.

If Jess thought she was anxious watching the opera scene, she can’t even begin to imagine how we felt knowing that Mike is about to watch this episode 😂 I’m proud of Mike. He got off to a rocky start with Del Boy but he’s taken Del’s two worst episodes well. ‘From Prussia with Love’ being the other episode🙈😂

Glad that one is out of the way. Started off so well but then just went off the rails. Even geniuses like John Sullivan can get it wrong. Good news the next couple of episodes are two of the best.

Yeah I'd forgotten how nonsensical the writing in this episode was. This is such a change up from Dels character so far, as opportunistic as he is he has never been so oblivious to the dynamics of the situation he is in.

It all went downhill after Del stick in his nose in. Which was appropriate after the skiing accident

I seem to recollect Ray Butt blaming himself. Anyway, the majority of the episode, it was the end dinner scene that probably went too far. They were pushed for time as filming was paused as the actors needed to attend the Royal Variety Performance. Anyway, Ray Butt said ‘the buck stopped with him.’

Why??

If Del did this cs he was worried about them eliminating Rodney, he could have just told him from the start and avoided having to go through all of it. Seems a lot to go through just to try and get £1000

I think the version here has a laughter track on so its weird watching it and then not hearing the laughter in the background But still a good episode

Hate on this one confuses me, if this episode had a laugh track and every line from del treated as a joke people would like it and I think also the creator stating he didn't like it has everyone in fear of this episode. It's good to have an episode where it shows that Del can be and has been malicious, he does not always mean well, he has at multiple times prior used Rodney's situation and twists it into something he can profit off of, people act like this is the first time he's done it.

Two fantastic specials up next 👍

This was the first and only episode that i really got pissed off at Del Boy.

This is so hard to watch. Especially as my hands are over my eyes. Roll on next episode

Really don't understand the hate this episode gets. I feel like the reputation it has is almost completely because the writer has said he doesn't like it. The great thing about this show is how true to life it is at times and in real life people are complicated.

I have actually seen the 3 wheeler in person, where my dad worked his warehouse was opposite a company that made cars for films and tv, also cruella de vil’s car - fun fact for everyone 😅

3 more episode till season 6 it cant come soon enough. mind you DATES is good got to give it that .

Good that this episode is now out of the way. At least in other episodes you can see Del’s heart is in the right place when he makes some questionable decisions. Here he’s just downright nasty.

Love this show but haven't watched this episode for years because it quite frankly sucks lol. Will almost be like watching it for the first time again. Luckily it's the only major blip and the rest of the episodes are awesome ♥️

“Frogs legacy” and “Dates” next!!

This isn't really a good special but i think aftef this there are so many great ones inculding Series 6

I’ll watch it but this is an episode that even John Sullivan regretted… made del into someone he isn’t

It’s sad how everyone on the production team, including John Sullivan’s family, blames David Jason for this episode’s failings, saying he misread the directions on the script and not having an audience made him go too far into making Del unpleasant, instead of just accepting the fact that John Sullivan wrote a bad episode.

So glad you have the original , I actually liked this special and as Mikey boy says its just a show !! and just a side note,loving the purple hair jessica why didn't Mikey boy go green? 😂❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Glad you are watching the original version, I know it's a bad episode but the censored 2004 version shouldn't have been.

It's interesting to see you and you know whose version of this because there are multiple versions of this episode because it was edited like no tomorrow also there's also mult version of tea for three

Ahhhh the episode John Sullivan wouldn't let release for a couple years until they agreed to trim the episode right down to delete about half the damn episode lol.

The majority of the OFAH community , the writer John Sullivan included, agree that its the worst episode or at least near the bottom. They rushed this episode recording. It was still being edited in the early hours of Christmas Day 1986 then broadcast that evening. Still some good moments. Del came across abit nasty here.

I’m scared to watch this reaction. Easily the worst episode of fools and horses.

It's finally here! An episode that makes me dislike Del for a while. Still a lot of funny/great moments though
