I think the problem with this comments section is that people don't actually know what lovechild actually means. All it means in this context is that Rodney would be the son of Jimmy Saville as a result of some short fling with his mum. Nothing to do with pedophilia or anything like that. Whilst you can argue about who knew what about Saville, one thing that everyone absolutely knew was that he was a ladies man so the joke is that anyone could potentially be Savilles love child, including Rodney.

I don't know why OFAH has this massive fanbase even today, because most people, even those who were around back then aren't interested in comedies like this anymore they're more interested in all these strange comedies with Ricky Gervais in it where he's taking the piss out of old people, basically anything that's bingeing on Netflix. Most people seem to love all this alternative comedy rubbish written by people who've never had a proper days job and got some fancy letters after their name and think they have talent, mainly students who watch America shows like Greys Anantomy, Skins, Breaking Bad or crap sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory lol. Everyone in the UK seems to be focused on anything America now even to the point where people say "seasons" instead of series. There is no British culture left in this country.

I'm guessing this is from some sort of comic relief show or something like that. It's reminds me of when they did the royal variety show with Uncle Albert. At the end you see the big difference between David Jason and Nick Lyndhurst. David Jason is a natural without a script and is very good at improvisation where as Nick Lyndhurst is very shy in real life and it shows when he is outside his comfort zone. Grandad is pretty good too.

I think many others were involved at the old BBC? He was just a scapegoat for all the very bad apples there, im sure.

Some of these scenes should have been left in . I often wonder why when Rodney is going to the Oprah with that bird and In the limo a seen is cut where the driver gives him a dirty look through the rear view mirror .

When Del Boy told Rodney to say that he was a Jimmy Savile love child, they knew. Even way back, he keeps cropping up. Maybe it’s a case of many a true word being spoken in jest, with the mother being 12 at the time.
