Comments (100)
This is the only Patreon I subscribe too as mike and Jess are amazing to watch. And I would love to see there reaction to comedy's like the league of gentlemen or little Britain but I don't think Jess would be able to handle them 🤣
GCSE'S are just Leaving Certicates everyone gets one of those
I never thought to ask what UXD meant when watching this episode, but it’s not a spoiler now. It means unexploded doll.
I remember the good old days, renting movie on vhs, my grandpa used to know how to program the vcr to record things when he wasn’t there we just used ours to record something on the other side sis to speak. Like sky plus, at the same time as watching something else. But not using the program that the vcr could do. Never learned how to do that.
What does TTFM mean? Del uses it to say bye to Mike.
You sure it’s not TTFN? “Ta ta for now”.
Hey guys, I absolutely love ur reactions to fools n horses, ur by far the best. Thanks Nicky, Swansea, Wales xx
A couple of weeks ago they found an unexploded WW2 bomb in the local park, it can still happen. This is a classic and so late on in the run of the show.
Dunno if it’s just on my end but the audio was quite quiet for me. Both me and my dad struggled to hear the show. I don’t wish to be difficult, but is it possible to boost the audio on the upload a bit? I tried to do everything I could on my devices 🙏 it’s my dad’s favourite show and this watchalong has been a great bonding experience for both of us. We appreciate you both!
You may be thinking of Danger UXB (UneXploded Bomb)
One of my favourite episodes great reaction
Definitely need to add 'one foot in the grave', 'blackadder', 'bottom' to the new shows!
If only Del had waited until 1997, when Europe harmonized its voltage to a nominal standard of 230 V! Good evnin
For me, this episode has one of the most under appreciated, or missed, jokes. Yes, it's quite subtle, and there's no laughter, but I laugh every time. When Del says to Mike: "Pina Colada for me, same again for Denzil". And later in the scene Mike brings over a pina colada and another bowl of stew for Denzil, leaving Denzil looking confused.
Honestly, you guys and your lovely reactions to peak Only Fools is one of the highlights of my week 🙂
We could be doing with more than 1 episode a week lol 😂
The dolls falling on del in the van with the line not now I've got an headache is brilliant and something I'd not noticed before.
One of the great debates when talking about OFAH is always grandad vs uncle Albert. Personally I’ve always prefared uncle Albert. I think he’s a better actor and you feel like you know him better as a character than you ever did with grandad. What’s your opinion on the two? And who do you prefare?
Fantastic episode, really basic budget and scope but brilliant comedy from so many great characters
The next episodes are hilarious. Series 6 is by far the best.
My mom was pregnant with me when this episode was broadcast in the January and she's always said she doesn't know how she didn't go into labour that night, she was laughing so much 😂 its one of the best episodes 😁
Series 6 is the best, but Danger UXD and Chain Gang (next ep) are the cream of the crop.
Just some information for the Americans, that Formosa is a little forest in the north of England, where they would mine for coal, but then one day, under a seam of coal, they found a layer of video recorders, that were buried there during the carnivorous period.
Jess drops fart bombs! Smelly cow. :/
TV series popular here in the seventies. UXB about a bomb disposal unit in the Second World War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_UXB
One of the best episodes, how John Sullivan writes these plots and drops in surprises is comedy gold!! Next week is another GOAT episode!
Yip! Facts. Been an OFAH fan since i was a 6 year old kid. I collected all the episodes on VHS with my pocket money, anyway in 2008, aged 26, I moved to Bristol from Ireland to study, about a week into it, looking out my flat window I saw a building that looked like the wine bar from Yuppy Love. So i did a wee google search, couldnt believe it. As someone obsessed with the show, to randomly move to a city in England, id moved to a city where so many OFAH outdoor scenes were recorded post 1987 onwards. This show is goated. My sister was in Margate since last Thursday and sent me photos tonight of the real places in Margate, (Jolly Boys..) lol Shes young but caught the OFAH bug too lol Sorry to ramble, but I agree with your top3 man.
You are right both. Back in the 80's, this sort of thing went on behind closed doors under the cover of darkness. In 2026 those obscene dolls would probably be in the kids section at Walmart.
Dying for them to get to season 7 episode 3 'Stage Fright' 😂😂😂😂😂
One of my favourite episodes.
Del coming in and saying "same again for Denzil" so Mike brings him another bowl of stew hahaha! Brilliant!
I never spotted that!
Also UXD in this case stood for unexploded dolls instead of UXB which stood for unexploded bombs, but I guess you probably worked that one out by the end of the programme. I enjoyed that reaction a lot, thanks.
Remember that inflatable doll in fawlty towers with the kipper and the corpse just a reminder
Yes!!! Exactly the same type.
In the 1980's when this was filmed the stock market went through a very lucrative period where people made loads of money in a very short time and it happened for ages. People did dress like Del was dressed, carry filofaxes and were all about business. They did also say that 'lunch was for wimps,' because life was all about making money and taking time off for lunch meant you could miss a profitable deal. Del is very of the time.
Only 5 weeks til the jolly boys outing 🙂
For me season 6 is by far the best series, so many iconic episodes. Can't wait for "the unlucky winner is" and "the jolly boys outing"
Them 2 episodes are gold 👏
Yesssss!! One of my very fave episodes has been reached… I shall now shut up, watch and enjoy. ☺️
Love this classic OFAH episode. Top react guys
Formosa is Taiwan
There's me thinking it's a type of armchair
So nice that you think it's getting funnier. Unlike most comedies, only fools never gets old, you still got so many laughs to come. Waiting a week each time for your reactions makes the week go so slow lol one of my highlights 😅
Unexploded ordnance is a massive thing in parts of the UK, even today. I live in Lincolnshire, on the Fens, every year farmers find bombs, shells etc in the fields. Even had a few go off as they’ve been hit.
From the war of the roses?
I gotta go rewatch lost in space now thanks to Jess 😅🤣
31:00 - Well, except we have the same electrical system as Europe. ;)
Not when this was filmed though.
Someone with more electrical knowledge than me, feel free to chime in, but I was under the impression that the UK and mainland Europe used the exact same electricity. Our plugs are different shapes, but I thought it was the same juice coming out of the walls. So Rodney saying it's burning out on British electricity wouldn't make sense.
It was different back when this was filmed.
"Del is the king of plan B" Love that Jess
Danger Unexploded Dolls. UXD comes from the acronym UXB meaning unexploded bomb. There used to be a late 70s TV show in the UK called Danger UXB, which this refers to.
Such a great episode and your reactions are great to watch as always
As great as this episode is, I can’t wait for the reactions to the next two. Genuinely two of my top personal top five episodes of all.
Going to enjoy this. One of my favourite episodes from the entire series
There's nothing I love more than waking up on a Sunday knowing I've got 3 Patreons worth of Only Fools reactions to watch. I absolutely love you guys!
What the fup?
That's the female thing to do if you swallow a bug; you walk away from the camera and quietly deal with it. A guy would just spit it and his coffee out on camera 😂
One of thee best Only Fools episodes!!!! This whole series 6 is just classic after classic!
Yes, series 6 is absolutely brilliant.
you guys are gonna love next week's episode
One of my favourite episodes. Last scene was filmed at Canons Marsh in Bristol, now covered in luxury apartments.
Of course they needed a plot reason for the VCRs not to work. But just for public information, the voltage and frequency in Europe is the same as in the UK (220-240/50). Had they been US market VCRs (110-120/60) they would have burned out. I'm available for parties etc if you want to ruin the atmosphere 🙂
I've been looking forward to all of your reactions to OFAH. But particularly series 6 and 7. They do keep getting better and better but through your eyes It's like watching them again for the first time, even though I've spent the past 30 years (im 37 now but i think its safe to say i started watching at about 6 or 7 years old, not fully understanding it) but watching and re-watching EVERY episode over and over again and they do get funnier EVERY time. Thank you for bringing the first time watching it joy to me again as an adult and with hilarious reactions to boot... life's tough at the minute and it's something to look forwards too each week. Also John Sullivan originally blew the three wheeled van up in his script but was told there's NO WAY anyone in the right mind would buy another three wheeled van if their's had been blown up - not even Del Boy. So they changed the ending because just like Del Boy, Rodney, Nelson Mandela House and the local pub The Nags Head it was just to iconic to get rid off at this point....
Ben Askren ✊ that's a dawg
What's that funny sound ? Cracks me up every time !😁😁
Good evening Mr Coper Good evenig ladies Oh Good evening 🤣
Brilliant reaction as always....and Mike being a gangster I can definitley see 'Prison Mike'🤣🍻
That blew up quickly
“Did we just lose the van?”Originally, the plan was just that. They were going to blow up the van, but they decided against it. The van had become iconic at that point.
Thank You 👍🙂. I didn't know that.
Joke about not being made in Taiwan but actually in Formosa is that they are the same place and Formosa is the former name
One of my favourite episodes :)
Same here
A bloke near me found half a dozen grenades while magnet fishing in the canal, mad bastard walked off with most of them.
If anyone ever asks me my favourite episode, I really struggle but this one always comes out top 3. Just so many hilarious, laugh out loud moments and quotes 😂 thank you for another great reaction, it’s so exciting watching them again with you!
Petit déjeuner" (French for breakfast! ), which Del completely ignores the fact that the English translation for breakfast in French is simply ‘breakfast’. Some other Del classics… “Bonnet de douche!" – Del's attempt to say ‘impressive!’ (though the words translate directly to ‘shower cap’!) “Creme de la menthe" – Del’s version of ‘The very best’ (is actually a green peppermint liqueur)." “Bain marie" – What Del uses to say ‘no problem’ (which actually refers to a culinary hot water bath). 🤣❤️
Ta, mate! My French is nothing but I knew something was off!
Maybe it was a Nerd that dropped into the coffee
Hope your ok Jess, but brilliant reactions as always. Xx
I think she's okay
There's actually a replica of the Trotter van that goes around my home town with a black doll and a white doll in the back. Often see them at our local mining museum or lake when there's a vintage car show on. It's brilliant!
Formosa is the old name for Taiwan. I think it was given by Portuguese explorers.
I'm with you guys, whenever I see someone crying because a video is only available in 720p, I want to smash a VHS across their face 😂
Especially after you have recorded over it a couple times.
Not to be weird but we all look forward to these reactions daily, like old school TV. Thank you guys, sincerely.
Not weird at all. I feel the same. Even though it's through the Internet, it's like going back to a pre-internet era, where we didn't have constant and immediate access to everything. I think a lot of people struggle mentally because, even if they don't realise it, instant gratification, rather than having things to look forward to, is unhealthy. Of course, as soon as I've finished watching this video, the thought of having to wait another week for the next one is agonising, but the feeling of when its finally here is worth it.
Should of named it Danger BUG after Jess😂
*have
The episode name comes from a British TV series from the late 70s early 80s I seem to remember called Danger UXB, about a bomb disposal team in the second world war UXB being unexploded bomb, I think it was starring Anthony Andrews 🤔
There’s a popular fam theory that explains that the reason why Denzil was away from the series for so long, is because he was off getting psychiatric treatment after his breakdown in ‘To Hull and Back’.
Kind of f'd up if you know the backstory about his on screen wife, she needed psychiatric help more than anyone
Mike so sympathetic for Jess from the comfort of his chair, he wasn’t moving 😂
"What's that funny sound"
I still use that now, when I hear a ‘strange noise’! That and ‘New Shoes?’ 🤣
Literally just made a coffee while thinking about OFAH ❤️
Oh, they did get involved with adult dolls. I owe you an apology, Mike.
Let’s go. OFAH and Tenerife this afternoon, what a Sunday. ❤️
Have fun, you lucky git lol Tenerife will be amazing especially with Spain just winning the World Cup!
