Only fools and horses was the best show on tv it's very sad this news

While I wont disrespect him, fair play to him he gave a lot of people a lot of laughs, I never really *got* Only Fools and Horses.

To me it was a fairly humdrum sitcom about a couple of Londoners. Mildly amusing bits and deadly serious bits. And on UK Gold it seems to be on constant repeat.

London dodgy trader comedies, I much preferred Minder.

[FarmerPug]

I loved the mix of seriousness and comedy
I see the EPG shows it on gold all the time but freeview doesn't get it thankfully because repeats ruin a good show like bbc3 does on family guy
I want to get the box set of only fools and horses I have only seen a few VCR episodes and they were good

[lozz]

ive seen every episode luved it,
it was only meant to be a one show thing it was that good he was told to carry on,

sad to hear hes pushing up the daisies tho

[sirwiggum]

It seemed to drag on, which is one of my main issues.

They could at least have left it when they found the watch and went to auction.

The Boycie spinoff wasn't too bad, was watchable.

Just get yourself a subscription to sky/cable/freeview topup, tune to UKTVOnlyFoolsAndHorses(formerly known as UKGold) and fill yer boots.

[FarmerPug]

its not the same as having a box set and being able to watch the episodes in the right order.
Lubbly jubly

GET UP YOU PLONKER

my mum got me the only fools and horses alarm clock once, this is how i woke up on many mornings.
I though rodney was funny in his on way, the Dave trigger thing was piss yourself funny, especially when rodney tried to explain that he wasnt called dave.
