Only Fools and Brotherly Forces

It's true love for Del and Raquel as they set up home at Nelson Mandela House. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Rodders, whose marriage has developed a few teething problems. This week we tackle what feels like a more serious plot for the show and talk about how it will set the way for series 7. 

We rejoin the Del, Rodney and the Jolly Boys, now coachless and stranded in Margate. Shouldn't be too hard to find somewhere to stay for just one night, surely? This week we talk about the many reasons why this episode is considered one of the all time greatest and how it feels a bit like the last hurrah. 

Its the episode that really needs no introduction. An Only Fools all time great that we've been looking forward to for a long time. This week we talk about the brilliant soundtrack, select our least favourite character to date and have a bit of a knee's up thanks to a little celebration. 

On top of Rodney failing his computer science exam he also has to come up with the cash for a flat deposit and all this before the 'big day'. Luckily Del has got some tricks up his sleeve (or maybe his nostrils?). This week we talk about some of the 'outside of the box' plot decisions, the hits, misses, the genius and the ridiculous. only fools and horses little

Times are tough at Trotters Independent Traders so Del thinks to resolve the issue by charging people to attend seances. Unfortunately this somehow ends up in the hospital. A Rollercoaster of an episode that this week inspired many tangents and not a whole lot that are relevant. But we very much enjoy the journey. 

Dels newest thing is competitions and he's only gone and one a holiday, but there is a catch, and its not a small one. This week we have a lot praise for this episode and how its fit so well into the longer 50 minute format. Time to get groovy!

Del and Rodders may be skint, but that wont stop Del getting a little consortium together for a less than above board deal! This week we talk about how the production of this episode feels a little different and how great it is to have the extended cast all interacting together. 

When Denzil's talks about some reject dolls he's lumbered with Del's quickly got his eye in for an earner but this time the stakes are higher than profit and loss. This week we talk about how technology was back in the 80's (Both the VCR's and the blow up dolls) and whether this episode benefited as from the longer episode time. 

Its the episode that has 'that' most famous OFAH scene, but it is also the first of the extended episodes. This week we talk about the new 45-50min format and how the time is used for great narrative effect. we also talk about how the legend that is David Jason had alot more to do with that famous scene then you might have thought.

Generally considered to be one of the best examples of Only Fools and rumored to be John Sullivans favourite episode 'Dates' is definitely a big fish. In this second part we conclude our thoughts on how Dates fairs against the other Christmas specials and what we might start to expect from this new era of Only Fools.

Generally considered to be one of the best examples of Only Fools and rumored to be John Sullivans favourite episode 'Dates' is definitely a big fish. This week we discuss how some parts of this episode help to pivot OFAH towards a newly evolving dynamic for the show and our beloved Trotter family. Alter egos at the ready, its time quite literally launch that 3 wheeled van into the skies. 

In this episode it all changed. After the poor reception of 'A Royal Flush' coupled with the exit of long time Producer and Director Ray Butt who thought the show had run its course, Sullivan needed to reinvigorate the audience. Does he nail it? or has he just bought some time. This week we talk about how this episode had a much lighter feel to it and we get a little carried away with a song or tw...

This special was to become one of the most controversial episodes in Only Fools' time but there is more than meets the eye! This week we talk about what parts of this episode were great, which parts fell a little short and what our final conclusion is overall

This special was to become one of the most controversial episodes in Only Fools' time but there is more than meets the eye! This week we talk about all the production troubles that contributed to this episodes problems but also the many reasons why it is still one of the greats and has its place amongst the series.

Is this the most perfect Only Fools Episode? Is this the best of the 30 minute episodes?? This week we talk about what made this episode one of our favourites growing up and how perfectly humour is blended in with some heart wrenching moments. Its an emotional rollercoaster!

It seems like everyone in Peckham has got wind of Rodneys new film but as always, Del has got some plans of his own. This week we talk about some great appearances by our favourite returning cast members and how Del really is in the wrong game. 

This week its a cracker! We compare some of Del and Rodneys times of trouble and disagreement to our own, we talk about David Jasons hobbies and how much Rodneys character has evolved from those earlier episodes. 

Its the phone booth of the Only Fools series. Just the one location for this episode but what we lack in sets they make up for 10-fold in laughs. This week we talk about the uniqueness of this episode and how Vas Blackwood (The "Sh-a-dow") really steals the stage with an outstanding comic performance. 

Dels headed to the church to repent for his sins but ends up becoming a prophet! This week we talk about a deleted scene, Dels seemingly limitless ego and tangent into some other greatly loved comedies of the era thanks to the extras within the episode. 

The Trotters get themselves lumbered with a German who is eating for two but as always DelBoy's figured out a way to make it profitable.  This week we drill down into some of the inner workings of Dels mind, talk about how great big dogs are and praise Mr. John Challis for always delivering the goods. 

In Part 2 we go International and re-join the Trotters on their journey across the sea towards Holland. We talk about how hard it is to get dutch extras and how this episode paved the way for many more feature length specials.

Its finally time for the long awaited first feature length Only Fools! This week we put the famous Tia Maria and Lucozade to the test, talk about why this episode feels so different to many of the others and again praise Mr. Sullivan for delivering the good first time.  

When the "Lowvery" door deal isnt looking good the Trotters pursue a rare butterfly. This week we talk about how cool ghettoblasters were and the fact "Google" wasnt a thing in the 1980's. 

Its national take the piss out of Rodney week! Come join in with us as we honor this self decelerated week. This week we try and remember what it was like to be in a pub, Del tries to get one over on 'young' Mickey Pearce and Rodney is being a prize muppet.... as usual. 

It feels like a bit more of a casual episode this week. With the steaks a little lower, we get alot more camaraderie from our favourite Trotter brother. Lots of great lines in this episode and particularly from Rodney who is on all kinds of form
