Who are watching this in 2024 Like me.❤😊

Back in the good old days when WOKE just meant time for breakfast.

And that was followed by a medley of WOCK AND WOLL

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

John Sullivan pure genius and writer. Respect.

Everyone saying how good this was. I don’t see it. I really don’t.

What made this show so relateable to so many people is the fact that most of episodes were based on real life events that happened to John Sullivan or people he knew personally or came from real newspapers articles he read about. That gave the who show a sense of realism.

A Slow Bus to Chingford - According to John Sullivan, he got the idea for the script from his father's favourite pub called "The Duke of Devonshire". The man who ran it was even called "Boycie". The place suffered from terrible business, but the owner explained it was "Ethnic English", thus the idea was implanted in Sullivan's mind.

The Russians Are Coming - The script was based on real article John Sullivan read about group of people who did the same thing the Trotters did - boughts whole ton of lead and built an air raid shelter.

The Long Legs of Law - John Sullivan's niece was a policewoman.

A Losing Streak - The script was based on Sullivan's father and his real life compulsive gambling problem.

A Touch of Glass - John Sullivan's father was the inspiration for the smashed chandelier storyline. Working as a plumber in the 1930s, he and several others were fitting a new heating system into a stately home, and had to move some chandeliers. As with the Trotters, there was a mix up and the wrong one was undone and smashed.

Friday the 14th - The script was based on real life story of supposed mass murderer who using just his axe was terrorizing Sullivan's neigbourhood.

Yesterday Never Comes - John Sullivan's mother used to work as a cleaner at an art gallery.

Wanted - The idea for the script was based on a true story that happened to a friend of John Sullivan. Even the name of the woman in real life was Blossom.



Hole in One - John Sullivan's grandfather was a coal-man named Dickie, who claimed compensation by falling down holes.


It's All Rock n Roll - The script was based on a real life boy band of which John Sullivan was a member of in his youth.

Sleeping Dogs Lie - The idea for the script was purely based on a gag someone told John Sullivan.


As One Door Closes - The idea for the script was based on a true story of a rare butterfly that John Sullivan had read about.


The Miracle of Peckham - The idea for the script goes all the way back five years earlier to The Second Time Around, where Grandad told Rodney about how Del used to donate to the church roof fund.


The Longest Night - The idea for the script was based on a true story that John Sullivan had read about a small-time criminal who went into a supermarket and pulled off a scam with the security manager and the store manager.


Video Nasty - The idea for the script was based on a true story about a youth club that was given a grant from the local council to do filming, but all the equipment and money shortly disappeared.


Yuppy Love - This episode is best remembered for Del Boy falling through an open bar flap. The scene derived from John Sullivan watching a man do the exact same thing in a wine bar, except he grabbed onto the fixed part of the bar so he didn't fall right over. Sullivan thought it funny for the man's body language, trying to recover his cool.

Little Problems - John Sullivan's idea for the script came from a drink with David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst one evening, and the idea grew into this episode.


Jolly Boys' Outing - John Sullivan's sister-in-law Penny was the inspiration behind the script, as she told him of an event her father used to go on each year, called "The Jolly Boys Outing".


The Sky's The Limit - The idea for the script was based on John Sullivan's holiday to Portugal, and discovering that he wasn't booked on the plane.


Stage Fright - The idea for the script came from John Sullivan's friend, who like Tony had big problems with pronouncing some letter and words.

The Class of '62 - The idea for the script was based on a reunion that John Sullivan had with his football team.


Three Man, a Woman and a Baby - The entire baby birth scene was replica of John Sullivan's wife''s delivery of their own baby.

Mother Nature's Son - The idea for the script was based on a real incident where people had their water supply closed as something had been dumped in a nearby reservoir.

'Better not be avin me on rodney! Punch you right in the mouth if you're pulling my leg"😂😂😂😂😂

Just a couple of years after OFAH finished for the first time, before a few comeback episodes, I fell in love with an African woman, and English wasn’t her first language and she was still new to the UK; she having come from Mozambique. Some evenings, when it was on, we would watch OFAH on UK Gold (or whatever it was then).

The first time we watched it together was the episode with the chandelier. At first she seemed a bit unimpressed and frosty (or maybe it was something I said 😂 - joke!), but as she keyed in to the facial expressions and saw the chandelier smash onto the floor she didn’t stop laughing until over an hour later. And even then, the next day when it came back into her mind, she would suddenly randomly start laughing again at the memory of it.

Now, well over 20 years later, she still watches the repeats avidly, remembers the characters and plot lines better than I do, and the show has become ingrained into her personality in some ways; in particular the way she views the UK and certain types of characters.

She feels that shows like this have made her happy and that the country is a happy place for her, even if life is hard sometimes, she rarely ever feels offended or threatened because she thinks people are funny here. She also likes things like One Foot in the Grave, Fawlty Towers, Dad’s Army and Mind Your Language. When I told her why the last one was cancelled, she said that she felt that that was silly and that the way some academics see things doesn’t mean that they should get offended about things on her behalf when she never even asked for it, nor did other black people.

Other than that, she hates it if people think that she just listens to soul or reggae, she being a fan of American country music, or rock music like Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Bonnie Tyler and a whole lot of music that’s more wide-ranging than most people would even know about. I know some of that lot is American, but just maybe the UK does produce a lot more good music and television than we give ourselves credit for.

This and Still Game

Do not talk about my personal

Best bit ? Del & Rodney get Albert and Dukes tablets mixed up ... Priceless !!!!!

Back in the day when the Beeb was actually worth watching

Has anybody realised the very first clip, where Dell is seeing his old friend the flat is exactly the same layout as the Trotter apartment. The same layout, the doors are in exactly the same place.

Simple ofahs is da best comedy ever made by da bbc and written wonderfully by john sullivan, whenever i need cheering up i watch only fools❤ nothing even compares even after 30 odd year's of watching i never tire❤😂😂😂😂😂 if any1 feels the same drop a like❤

The irony of him saying the General is a "cerebral thinker" whilst it's obvious judging by his comments, he's got his head wedged up his own brown chimney, is beyond laughable.

Hello no 80 graig Park circle Newport Gwent not very good at your jobs lol

Brilliant

and David Jason can play serious roles not just funny...not many like that

They both look so young 😅

Don't forget cheers also a classic, something that can't ever be remade

Alright,alright, supposing you go for a job, and you go for the interview, eh? What you going to say to the manager? You’re going to say, ‘Oh yes sir, I’ve got qualifications and experience, sir yeah. I’ve got two GCEs, an 18 month suspended sentence and I know a good joint when I puff one😂😂😂😂 Del is a legend

The Board of Governors

“ Albert’s been on the bob martins”
“ let’s not throw him no sticks” 🤣🤣

Roger Lloyd Pack as Trigger was golden. The best dimwit in TV history. 😂

So funny ❤❤ I keep thinking of grandad càuse he loved F n H xxx how's my boys xxx

From grandad.. to uncle 🤣🤣 quality

what i would like to know is. who's in charge of the sub titles?lol

What episode features albert point at a diving suit and says "what did you buy that thing for" del replies "I bought that for you, so you could go, down and visit all the ships you used to sail in!"

Don't we all wish comedy was still like this today, instead we have nothing but middle class shyte, no fun or laughs to scared to say anything in case you get labeled a racist, what a world we live in their was no greater decade than the 80,s.

I can watch Only Fools And Horses and never get bored with them.
One of the best sitcoms ever made and brilliant actors.
Timeless classics that will live on forever.

GOAT by far just amazing 😂

‘Casted’ is not a word…

we never knew depression with shows like this ..Have a great new year guys 🎉😂😂❤

only one word for this FANTASTIC XXXX

From the days the BBC was good and something to be proud of. Not anymore I’m very sorry to say..

Masterpiece

That man knows the truth that makes him a Blackmailer soke it up Britain

I would of loved to have seen Only Fools And Horses Down Under.
Rodney on a surfboard would have been more TV gold 🏄‍♂️ 😂😂😂😂

If cast now by the BBC Rodney would have to be Black. It would considered 'racist' not to.

Have always loved this solid gold comedy ! xx
