Only Fools and Horses - S7E1 'The Sky's the Limit'

I never noticed all the Disney references, I wonder what that was about?

I am glad you guys have seen this episode as well as the jolly boys outing. there are many good episodes to come such as miami twice which is one my favourites as well as strangers on a shore.

I always hated Cassandra lol she’s fine at the start but turns into a super cold and controlling nag as soon as they get married.

I love the hidden story layers of this episode and the longer you watch the more you notice some similarities then the ending just pulls every story line and all the hidden stories into an amazing ending

Partridge was not canned laughter...it was part performed infront of an audience or location scenes played to the audience....all laughs were genuine

57:50 holy shit, Mike sounding like drakula 🤣🤣🤣

Jess dying over her own cruella deville joke 🤣🤣

london to manchester is around 280 miles manchester is up north and london is in the south of england

London and Manchester is hours away from each other especially in that 3 wheel car they have lol

There was another Walt Disney reference you missed and probably the most obvious one of the lot and that being when Boycie was at their flat asking Del to look out for his £2,000 hitech satalite receiver he wanted to make a point that he doesn't mean the £150 'Mickey Mouse' satalite dishes that you find glued to the side of council houses.

Something quite interesting is that in 1990, when this episode released, the Ninja Turtles in the UK were actually called "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles". I'm surprised they were called by the original name.

Manchester airport is 226 miles (approximately 336 km)away from Gatwick. So driving to Manchester airport made no sense. Cassandra would have been waiting for 4-5 hours. Then it would have taken another 4-5 hours to drive back to Gatwick. That would have killed the romantic element.

4 & ½ hours drive to Manchester Airport

Just remember Mike and Jess that 99% of people enjoy your content, are endeared to you as people and are thankful they can relive their favourite shows with new people and new perspectives. Unfortunately 1% of imbeciles will make up about 50% of a comment section to make you think you need to justify yourself, but you don’t. There a cultural difference, often from a different era, and still you manage to grasp the sentiment most of the time. You will gravitate towards some things more than others, and you’re right to stick to the shows you enjoy because then it’s authentic, which is better for everyone. You have to tolerate negativity in any form of media, but you don’t have to justify yourself to people just because they don’t like the way you run your channel.

I love alan partridge. I love only fools. But I can honestly say Mike's laughter track analogy made me laugh harder than anything 🤣😆😂

So waiting for more good shows to be done. One foot in the grave! Red dwarf, bottom, Brittas empire, porridge, keeping up appearances, Mr bean, black adder etc

Manchester to London is about a 3-4 hour drive. In a 3 wheeled van about 78days

FYI Peckam London is about 4hs drive to Manchester Airport :)

When you finish the show, be kinda cool to do a watch along of episode 1 again, see grandad and how they all changed.

They've gave up Alan partridge?

London to Manchester? 3 - 4 hours, in a reliant robin in such a bad condition, you'd probably be looking at 5 hours.

For information, Manchester is in the NW of England, London is down south. In them days, it would have taken them around 4 hours + to drive up there.

I love that bit with Boycie, Marlene and Tyler when Boycie walks away and Tyler says something and Marlene goes “yeah he’s daft isn’t he!” I always thought that looked ad libbed 😅

Banger of an episode

OFAH leads you down a path and hits you with a TWIST at the end. Freaking love people thinking they know whats going to happen, then the genius of John Sullivans weaving and winding writing sits them all down! Ive been sat down by it too many times! Great reaction Mike and Jess..really LOVE your reactions to comedies, great channel!

There was no point Rodney driving to Manchester if the plane lands in 10 minutes. Cassandra wouldn’t be there when he arrived. She would have improvised and got the train back to London.

I think they would love Fleabag.

It's ok that you don't get Partridge, Mike, no need to try and justify things. After the ending message to AP about spreading positivity it seems odd that you're still hung up on it, and to have a jab took me out of this reaction for sure...

i just cant john sullivan was a master at comedy

London to Manchester is about 4 hour drive

Look, just because you don't 'get' Partridge, doesn't mean you have to gave a dig at people that do. I laugh at Partridge 10 times more than this, it's just my humour, but I'm not gonna have a go at the audience laughing at this when I don't. It's all subjective.

You need to watch the series called 'The Vicar of Dibley' at some point. The actor that plays 'Trigger' in 'Only fools' plays another equally hilarious character in that show too. Loads of hilarious characters in it and it's a really family friendly show.

There's a timeline issue in this one, Del had acquired the dish for Boycie before he knew Boycie thought it was missing

Manchester to Peckham takes between 4 and 5 hours to drive

"I'll have a large scotch mike" one of my favourite lines 😂

Class of 62 is the next big one im looking forward to but Stage Fright holds a special place in my heart 🤣

It is funny, people have spent months saying 'it gets better', and now they are saying 'the show is in decline' - that peak didn't seem to last long! I do think the strength of the episodes from The Frog's Legacy to The Jolly Boy's Outing does make people remember the overall quality of the show as being higher than it is. Still, there are some very good episodes ahead.

I just can’t get on with Series 7 onwards. David Jason is noticeably older and Del has lost his edge with Raquel as a permanent fixture, and Rodney is constantly moaning and the storyline of his marital woes is tedious. There’s still some good bits, but we’ve already peaked at this point and are on the downward spiral in my opinion.

naughty naughty Mike, unnecessary dig at Alan Partridge there. We get it, its not your bag. And FYI they never used laugh tracks for AP - there was a live studio audience. Even the external scenes were shown in front of the audience for live reaction. No hate just saying.

There's quite a few 90's British references in this but it's great that you can still enjoy it. I love OFaH.

SWITCH IT OOOOOFF

I feel like fhe writing team had a bet how many disney references they could get away with lol

Well Bronco does have a tendency to nick very silly things 😂

The Trotter family have been eating this sort of cuisine for generations. Never done us any harm. My dad lived until he was 81.

There's something about that Boycie and Marlene scene that cracks me up too 😂 Their relationship is amusing. Boycie'; Does nothing but moan. Marlene - so cheap and tacky that she dresses her baby in the same colours as her. But somehow the relationship works!

Here's a thought, do you think they were trying to warn you of 9/11?

Since you used to do a lot of Karl Pilkington stuff, it might interest you to know that Manchester is where he’s from. I’m sure you knew, as they are constantly mocking him for it, but you might not have remembered in the moment.

This was always my favourite episode ending I remember seeing it as a kid and hiding behind a cushion!

Manchester from Peckham is over 200 miles away.

Got so much to do this morning but not moving until I watch this :)

Didn't expect another little dig at Alan Partridge :(

It's over 200 miles from London to Manchester

Rodney’s character has become incredibly annoying by this point

Uncle Albert singing ‘Step Back In Time’ by Kylie Minogue 😎

7 episodes and 8 specials to go. What a journey you've been on

Unlike AP, ofah also has heartfelt moments. Eg the scene with Rodney and Del after Granddad died.

Another great episode. Boycie is my favourite side character in this show, and he was on top form in this, and the resolution to the story was top-notch! Great start to the season and you have some more fantastic episodes still to come!

Have you guys thought about watching the vicar of dibley. Roger Lloyd Pack who plays Trigger is in it, I think it would be a great show for reactions.

I always thought the actress who played Cassandra was a bit iffy, glad I’m not the only one and you noticed the crying! Haha

Another great anticipated #RNTV Sunday AM watch with....Just a guide, when it comes to CR slang when talking about buy/sell stuff, more used in the earlier shows, instead of saying a value '20' words are used instead: e.g. 'Thats a score, guv' or 'Whats the damage on that?' (how much?) - 'a monkey!' £1 = Quid / Nicker £5 = Lady Godiva / Deep Sea Diver / Fiver £10 = Cock and Hen / Ayrton Senna / Tenner £20 = Score £25 = Pony £50 = Nifty / Bullseye £100 = Ton £500 = Monkey £1,000 = Grand / Bag of Sand

Manchester is about a 4 hour drive from Peckham

anyone else think they should do both miami twice episodes in one go?

2 more weeks till my fav episode stage fright .

Did you two know a spin off of only fools and horses was made called "the green green grass" starring Boyce and Marlene ..it's actually pretty good.

Letss gooo

Only Fools is easily the greatest comedy this country has produced

Mate, just don't watch I'm Alan Partridge, its clear that you hate it 😂 even the bits Jess laughed at she was hiding her face while she did. We'd prefer if you watched something you enjoy.

this episode was actually banned for a while after 911

Absolutely pucker! I've been looking forward to this all week, counting down the days. A proper full English at the ready—lovely jubbly, you know it makes sense!

Growing up I always thought Cassandra crying was so cringy and when Sky+ came around I would pause that scene for a bit, and then fast-forward it. Terrible acting haha

You’re about to have a generational run of 10 great episodes

We used to have these episodes on vhs recorded from the telly, and I watched them a million times. I never made the connection that Marlene was wearing Cruelle deVille’s coat.

I love ofah so much

Two Bob bits=shits, which is slang for diarrhoea. In old money, there were 12 pence in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound. A bob was slang for a shilling, so a two bob bit was a two shilling coin.

“I’ll have a large scotch Mike”

I think it’s more Raquel that’s embarrassed about sleeping with Del. In the last one she told Del not to tell anyone because she was worried about getting a reputation. I don’t think that would make much difference. As everyone knows she’s staying there, I’m sure they all assumed they were sleeping together. Both Rodney, Mickey and Jevon seemed surprised that they weren’t.

The fact you both referenced Go Ninja Go Ninja Go just made my day even better 🤣

It’s a four hour drive to Manchester from London.

tmnt the cartoon came out in 87 and the film in 1990

There’s actually been a slight alteration to the flat, but it’s only noticeable if you’re looking for it. Due to the fact that there were now four people staying in the flat, the original set was seen to be too small, so they lengthened the back wall a little bit. If you notice, it takes them a little bit longer to walk from one side of the set to the other now.

I wait all week for this 🥰

Favourite morning of the week!
