“You little plonker” “Engaged more times than a switchboard” Brilliant writing by John!

Without a doubt one of the most well-crafted British comedies ever broadcast, way ahead of its time. The casting, the dialogue, the timing, the characters and storylines were all exemplary. Decades later and there's still been nothing like it. Thanks for these great memories.

Best comic character ever!

I don't think iv ever watched another show that was as genuinely hilarious as this. Literally would have you laughing out loud.

John Sullivans comedy writing genius is really apparent in the episode " Strained Relations ". Leonard Pierce who played grandad had unexpectedly passed away so John Sullivan, at short notice not only wrote the very sad episode of Grandads funeral where Dels speech to Rodney moved us to tears but at the same time he introduced a completely new character in Uncle Albert where he had us crying with laughter.

Heard that scene was very hard to film too

My oldest brother absolutely loved only fools and horses and had the complete dvd set of all the series, watching these compilations from the show remind me of him. He absolutely loved all of the old British tv shows. Only fools and horses, Steptoe and son and On the Buses wee his favourites along with Porridge and open all hours. Unfortunately my brother died too soon before his time but these memories remind me of him and I’m going to use them to think of him in a positive way rather then in a bad way

Del's walk to the paraglider ... classic

Probably my fav episode is with the paragliding

This is the KING OF COMEDY ...A NUMBER ONE ....TOP OF THE HILL. Every line has a twist on a twist , this is the greatest masterpiece, I'm 51 watched it over and over and everytime is just more amazing and great era and part of life 🙌 ❤️ genius writers actors .

The only two people I know that have a Dan Dare T-shirt are Rodney Trotter and Michael Palin on the Dow In Around the World

There is no way you can watch these and still not laugh brilliant actors and so well written classic which bring smiles and laughter to everyone.

These are Classics, never tire from watching them!

Only Fools and Horses is peerless... it was such a joy to live through this era.

Only fools and horses it’s my favourite it’s awesome to watch all of them xx

Nah mate, life is what u make it, we have modern medicine, shopping online in 24 hours at your door, on demand films and TV 24/7, mobile phones, and minimum wage in the UK. Compare that to 1982, we had worse medicine, no online orders, no on demand films, no mobiles, no minimum wage, and people like Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris on our TV screen. You may prefer all that, but every era has good and bad things, I am so glad I was born in 1993. We all should appreciate the hand we're dealt!

It's leading to the death of the high street. On demand films? Yea every film you want at the touch of a button, so everyone binge watches everything until there is nothing left to watch, because everything is instant. No mobiles? It wasn't any problem, people used to go see their mates if they wanted to talk, or use a landline.

I like how the second Del thinks he has a daughter he immediately goes into Dad mode and wants to shower her with gifts, I always liked that detail

this is the way comedy is MEANT TO BE..........SMART, CLEVER & FUNNY JUNE: (to Rodney) Debbie won't be a minute she's just putting some clothes on RODNEY: Oh, she needn't bother 😂😂

They could never make a show like this ever again. The language alone will have it cancelled after 1 episode.

David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst make this entire show..

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but I bought the DVD collection ages ago and it has a lot of material that was cut in the TV release. One I know is A Royal Flush, in the opera scene, a whole load of stuff I never seen before is on the DVD's.
