The Bristol Episodes never had the same 'feel' as the London based ones imo. You could tell straight off that the Nelson Mandela house wasn't a London tower block.

Those 1996 Christmas specials really were special and it's lovely to see these places a relive those golden moments. I love looking up all the old filming locations, I'll to visit a few some day as I live in London.

Wow ! You´re so full of enthusiasm for this wonderfully endearing sitcom ! Luvly jubly !

Great video, love OFAH! Watching your videos in chronological order (well apart from a few recent ones I've gone straight to) 😂 I've finally reached the video which was the first one I ever saw (this one!) on the only fools group on Facebook, I really love the videos! I remember commenting on Facebook post giving a few other locations to visit! It took me until your third only fools video to find out that you have this great channel! Love it mate! A margate location tour would be a good one too.. Also weston super mare has a few that I've see too! Me and my Fiancée went for a drink in the Chinese restaurant where Rodney and cassandra went in 'If they could see us now' episode and there is a photo of Nick and Gwneyth with the team there so if you and Jo are in Weston that's your place 👍🏻

I've loved this show since i was a kid in the mid 90s. I moved from the UK to the states several years ago and still watch these, which non of my US family and friends get I'm sure lol. One of the best comedies ever written. Great job finding the areas. Glad you found the entrance to the wine bar, "who's the tart" is one of my favourite lines haha.

Fascinating stuff.

The cafe, which did exist then, has now been ‘returned’ to residential use and the corner where they bump into Slater is now a pub, back then it was just derelict and boarded up.

I remember it was a wet mild Autumn midweek evening around 8.30 when i was passing the Parkside and saw the car park lit up- me being the nosey type I just had to see what was going on, so I turned round the car and drove into the car park. There was a big truck parked on the car park with the back open and inside it was filled with all sorts of props including the Reliant Robin! Immediately working out what was going on, I had a walk around and saw Nick Lyndhurst speaking with a crew member on the corner where that scene was shot. Incredible to think that back then there was no security and I just wandered around unnoticed and unmolested!

9:57 it was block on the right used for filming :)

Next time you're here in Bristol, I would suggest: Brunswick Square, north of Broadmead. I'm sure it featured in the episode where Del eventually goes to the dentist. Also Cheapside St & Oxford St in Totterdown, outside the (now) takeaway is where Rodney & Del cornered the mugger they chased. The alleyway through to the main Wells road may have been boarded off for filming at the time. I was once sitting at the traffic lights in central Bristol when a low-loader truck went by with the yellow three wheel van on it.
