Only show i can watch over and over again..nothing will ever come close! Pure gold 👍
I tend to agree, but I can watch I'm Alan Partridge, The Office (US version) and Blackadder repeatedly tbf. In fact, there are loads of comedies I can go back to time and time again, but this show is probably the best.
I feel ya Edo
I agree 100%👍😂🇧🇦👋

Those 2 are unrepeatable! Never again will be a comedy show like that! I'm 39,and I have grow up with this show,here in Croatia! You can literally watch it like thousand times,and never get bored 😂
Upravo tako ☺️
@@createyouremotion3831 yes it was, at least in Croatia
@create your emotion it whas big her they sold dvd-s and on tv all the time
I've watched them so many times, I've lost count. Can never be bettered IMO. Pure joy.
@@snjezanatopic9353 yes, and in the rest of Yugoslavia, too.
I think it's fair to say we are all very lucky to say we lived in a era where comedy was at it's very best and we had so much to choose from
You mean before we weren’t allowed to make jokes before the woke snowflakes ruined life?
Good times when comedies were funny. I grew up with his show and i feel very lucky as well. Proper British comedy
And they weren't censored by the children in charge
@@lisacoe1370 Yes very easy to make the British laugh. Small brains equals small sense of humour. Just a joke. Noone will get offended.
Absolutely, this can't be beaten!
Everything about this show was perfect. the cast, writing, comedy timing everything. Possibly the best ever. It wasn't just a comedy either, there are so many realistic and touching parts, for example when Cassandra loses the baby, and Del shuts the lift down to speak to Rodney. Such brilliant writing and so well acted. :)
Yeah and when dels son born,,,,,, what is it,,,, its a little baby,,,and he holds it up to the sky to show his mom,,,
@@lindabiggs3905 yeah, so great wasn't it
Rodney's acting in the lift 🥺🥺🥺 never felt sodding pain like it 😭
P
P pop
Del loved Rodney with every inch of his being. Pure brotherly love. That alone makes this show pure class and beyond perfect..
Del boy was a,legend...he was a fantastic actor..in every programe he starred in.....never to be forgotten
I used to live in england and I remember this TV commedy and I absolutely loved it. Still do. British humor is without a doubt the best. Greetings from Italy

Him talking to the priest is such a lovely moment
Why does the ending where del turns Australia down always brings a tear...every time I watch it ! There are a few like that...Rodney’s wedding, Dels Son being born and Rodney’s Daughter at the mother’s grave too. Soppy ole sod! Lol. Thank you for putting these up for us to watch. They are all Classics. Porridge too, Ronnie Barker was one in a million like Del Boy. 😂😂😂❤
Pure British comedy 🤣🤣🤣
I was dying when Rodney went for the cigarettes instead of the gun 😂
I can watch all of the episodes repeatedly and never get bored. Absolute gold!
You as well then.

@@zoew1602 Have you ever had a go at any of the Only Fools and Horses quizzes that pop up every now and again? I usually get 100%, but on the odd occasion I’ve got one or two questions wrong. One was 60 questions and I only got two wrong! 😜👏

@@nigelkthomas9501 I didn't know the quizzes existed please sent details on how to get them Thanks
When you think about it, Rodney is actually a gentleman.
I used to be obsessed with Rodney while growing up because I remember having the soft toys of them and just being sat there on my bed kissing them (I was like about 3) and also I remember being sat in the living room with my brother and my dad and every time Rodney used to appear on the tv screen I just used to be sat there smiling and my brother and dad just used to be sat there laughing at me
I was only 3 m8 a very wierd 3 year old
You plonker!
He’s much more liberal than Del.
And a wally!
The greatest and most loved sitcom ever created.....and left us with a lifetime of unforgettable comedy gold
29:24 “Yeah but when you fancied a smoke on the bus, you made me carry you up to the top deck!” 😂😂 one of trigger’s best lines
His best has to be the Batman and robin one when he tells del that he didn't know either that the fancy dress party was cancelled when the boy died. He is dressed in black outfit as if he was at a wake, but he'd came as a chauffeur!!😂
@@theantiauthoritarian.1540 do you know trigger died
@@coreylove5680 Of course i do. 🤔. Met him at the Edinburgh Festival in 90s.
@@theantiauthoritarian.1540 cool
@@coreylove5680 He was as Dead Pan as he is in the series!!!😐. Still gotta love him though!!!😁
David Jason facial expressions are comedy genius. This is a genius show.
The supermarket scene with Vaz Blackwood is a killer. Bloody watch.
So funny when they all think Rodneys reaching for the gun and the tension builds and he grabs the cigarettes instead 😂
I'll never forgot the first time I heard "Vot is your nem" I didn't stop laughing for about 3 weeks 🤣🤣🤣
The Rhino story is brilliant- 4 minutes of just the actors sat talking and the whole situation slowly spiralling more out of control. By the time you actually reach the punchline- that Del was just trying to flog a Rhino someone had, you have laughed yourself in a stupor before its even over. I watched this scene at least 4 times before I noticed the actual joke. One of the best scenes in the entire show for me- it just doesn't stop for even a moment. How one man ever achieved all of this is madness.
John Sullivan wrote every single word all by himself, what a legend 👏
Damn Harry potters lmfaoo Rodney can do it he’s got them GCE’z Too funny,, absolutely luv it
" he says there's no room at the inn ".... " don't you start all that Sunday school rubbish with me rodney "....😂😂 classic .
yeah i mean the dialogue is unbelievable, great punch lines i grew up with this as a teenager when it was first out and although there were many great comedies such as porridge, open all hours ect OFAH for me remains in the top spot.
@@ace1603 definitely for me too , I love ofah , best comedy ever made , John sullivan was a true genius , I also like one foot in the grave victor meldrew 😅
"VOT IZ YOR NAME?"
R.I.P. John Challis (AKA Boycie) it’s a sad loss my thoughts are with his family and friends.
Marrrrleeeeeen!!
As if first I've heard of this only fools and horses will never be matched again. What an era for UK comedy TV rip John. Can see him now when penny finally dropped all the lads remember Marleen comedy gold 😅😅
@@nahthenlad2706 It was the best sitcom ever with so many great character's, Trigger was my personal favourite after Delboy Roger Lloyd Pack was an amazing actor the way he did a full 360 when Del went to lean on the bar and fell was comedy gold.
@@howey935 trigger was pure gold mate. Jolly boys outing is up there 1 liners in that was of the hook trigger was class from first ever episode until the last class act
@@nahthenlad2706 Even the way he always called Rodney Dave was hilarious even after Rodney explained he was called Rodney not Dave then Trigger said “Basil are you gonna get this meeting started me and Dave haven’t got all night”.
I remember as soon as I had a video recorder in my bedroom as a kid it was only fools and horses on VHS fall asleep watching it every night what could ever replace this show
Still watch it every night, DVD or IPad, laugh out loud even on my own.
Only Fools was the greatest British sit com of all time.
Lots of heart and funny as heck. They don't make comedies like this anymore.
You know it Jo
And the world's a better place because they don't
@@martinireland9248 really?
Only fools has to be the all time best comedy ever
You bloody know it Meat Man!
Good but not the best ever.
@@johnwedgbury6817 yes it is
@@JogaBonitoCFTV yes it is
I tell you....this show "Only Fools and Horses" is the top comedy show of all time...hands down. British humour at its best with a group of brilliant actors.....kudos to them all.
“What he’s leasing it, is he?” Lyndhurst has the best deadpan delivery face I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely outstanding, the writing is superb, the actors are beyond legends. What can I say, no comedy has or ever will touch it. ♥️
Perfectly said,they could have had every character starring in their own comedies,they were all that great.
Well Netflix won't touch it lol, they just took it down
@@allanallen1835 what's that supposed to mean lol. Who gives a shit about Netflix, is that meant to prove me that I am wrong or every other person on the planet. Anyway gold channel play it constantly so who needs Netflix 😂
I think that Gavin and Stacey come close.
What great times , When people were people and we had freedom and communities now we have era of machines , violence, government control ,hardships and alot of negativity in the world ,
“VOT IS YOR NAME?”
Fun fact, It took David Jason about 5 takes for this scene, as you can see 0:29 even the final take he nearly started laughing again.
Pls!?
Trigger, iv had the same broom for years,,, only changed the brush and handle lol
My Brother in law had a punctured lung and was in hospital on xmas day .We were all concerned as he was hooked up to pipes etc. OFAH was showing on the ward and I swear to God there was a part in it that had me in hysterics .I was crying with laughter .Pretty soon the whole ward erupted with laughter and a smile came to my in-laws face .Lovely moment .
They're gonna call it Rodney...after Dave 😆😆
Although it’s a comedy, it’s also very heartwarming, del is a real brother.
Absolutely love this sitcom ,I watch them over and over at night for bed ,they never get boring ,love them all .
I luv watching this Xmas day, brings back so many wonderful memory's of some my family who aren't with us no longer
Greetings from Scotland. ..I get that too ....I used to watch this with my folks (no longer here)..the fabric that binds includes everything I guess..
Same here, dude. I didn't start watching Only Fools & Horses until a few years back, but have fond memories of my Grandad who unfortunately passed away nearly ten years ago, now - bless him. One thing about memories is that nobody can take them away from you and will forever be there.
Awesomeness, God bless you son
Retro YBD cheviechase Christmas holiday
I remember watching Only Fools and Horses with my family at Christmas time at my Nannas house in Leicester. She was a beautiful, kind and caring person. She's passed away now... I miss her so much.
'Could be worse, it could have a squeaky wheel' 😂😂😂 I love Trigger!
I'm filled with happiness that everyone else loves. This is where jokes began for me growing up.
seen every episode countless of times & never get bored! Absolute timeless comedy GOLD!
Great channel old comedies can't beat them
Have you watched goodnight sweetheart staring Nicholas lindhurst(Rodney) as a time traveller going back to the 2nd world war. I must have watched that about 10 times lol.
It's bloody brilliant eh
Uncle Albert is a legend lol
Buster Merryfield. Sadly. long gone now.
During the war...
25:51 Del's scream when he finally takes off on the handglider absolutely cracks me up
Uncle Albert: Can't you come back in the morning? To a robber 😂😂😂😂😂 He was my fave along with Trig, Boyce and Del 😂
Trigger was my favourite he always had the best one liners and whenever he called Rodney Dave always cracked me up.
" rodney:"we're in the European community, we gotta stick together ... del : " pity her knees didn't " 😅😅😅
The series will never be forgotten.. LOVE IT
It is on a permanent loop on Gold so no chance of it being forgotten.
Why cant they make comedy like this anymore? Greatest sitcom ever, seen every episode 50 times and still laugh my head off at it.
that's because many of the actors are no longer alive
@@stephensnell1379 As i said ''Comedy like this'' ..........................
The PC brigade have ruined comedy
@@stephensnell1379 Bit like your brain cells
Don't want to get cancelled, can't have an upset snowflake
the chemistry between the whole cast is just great casying by JS
One of the classics that can never be recreated.
'Ive come to confess my sins' - 'please Del I've been invited out to dinner tonight' ...
I always find it strange to think of Only Fools’ as having ‘seasons’ the way other sitcoms do. I always think of it as this sort of eternal part of British culture that was entirely timeless - and the characters within were people we all just grew up with and knew.
That scene with the vicar was incredible...all one take and no edit! Amazing actors.
"Still coulda been worse Del" "How?" "My Gran had one with a squeaky wheel"
I still say the last episode should have been the Lesser Watch episode at Sotheby's. When they became millionaires. What a great comedy, it still makes you laugh even when we know the jokes.
Yeah, as much as I liked the three extra episodes they did after that, it makes more sense that they end with the watch episode - the whole thing felt like an ending.
It was expected that that episode “Time on our Hands” was going to be the last, but they had a change of heart and made a few more.
@@nigelkthomas9501 Makes sense - it definitely looks like something that was written as the finale.
Fully agree 👌🏼 sensational episode
Yeah all through always said gonna be millionaires, should have left it there
Can watch it over and over again , still laugh my socks off
“ cheeky mare, we invented the lingo, darling.” 😂😂😂
I believe it was 'saucy'
@@cannibalbunnygirlno
We invented the lingo, dint’ we?
@@marymarysmarket3508 yes
It is very difficult to decide which is the best British sitcom ever. Beside this show, there are so many other brilliant ones; The two Ronnies, Porridge, Open all hours, Last of the summer wine, On the buses, George and Mildred, Rising damp, Blackadder, Are you being served, Yes, Minister, Allo, allo, Dad's army, Steptoe and son, Fawlty towers, One foot in the grave, Keeping up appearances, On the up, Waiting for god ......
The Rhino story had me dying!! 😭😭 This will always be my favourite sitcom. A massive part of my childhood. I cried my eyes out watching the last one. Nothing comes close.
Such an amazing programme. British comedy at it's absolute finest. This show is like a fine wine, it's gotten better with age. They don't do it like this anymore.
Can watch all series's episode's repeatedly & laugh hysterically each & every time,, brilliant comedy
Agree 100% I’ve just sorted a load of OFAH VHS VIDEOS Which I recorded the first time round before the critics got hold of them. Even then I suppose some ended up on the cutting room floor. When it was first broadcast in 81 they were more lenient than the pricks of today. The reason I was going through them all is because I am giving them all away to see if they were okay not been used in years. I intended just to flick through them all instead I ended up watching every episode. Supprissed that so many scenes were deleted on DVD. The original recording’s differ in so many different ways. My DVD 📀 collection is the same as my original VHS Videos which where recorded when they were first shown. One reason I am giving them all away. Amazon DVD Box Sets have got loads of deleted scenes so buyers beware. The person who has been asking about the tapes cannot get hold of the original series anywhere. So I have offered to give them mine they want to keep the traditional series going in years to come. I’m 72 the other person is only 36 yet we get comments on UTUBE and Facebook to start keeping up with the times are these the same people who are saying we shouldn’t be able to laugh and have a joke. ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES IS A COMEDY THAT CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH AND CRY AT THE SAME TIME. Some people REALLY do need to get a life instead of trying to spoil everyone else’s enjoyment. If you don’t like it don’t watch it SIMPLE 🤡S.
Best comedy ever made, nothing comes close 👍
Without a doubt!
Rising damp. Faulty towers, one foot in grave, the office all just as good but yeah Ilove only fools and horses tooi!! Plus ofah did the most episode!!
@@donnn-ow4rj i love most of them too, never really followed the office to be true, also porridge and father ted are very good 👍
@@tankc6474 yes I love father ted and porridge. . I think David Jason based his early del boy on fletcher. If you watch the first ofah series he played him very similar. As the series went on the he came into his own and played him slightly diffrent.
@@donnn-ow4rj 👍
"What do you want it to be,a bleedin social worker" 😂😂😂
Even as someone without a single religious belief in his brain, I absolutely love the priest in the Weeping Mary statue episode. He just comes across as a really lovely bloke. The kind of person you'd want a local religious leader to be like. And I forgot Lennox is in this series! He's probably my favourite guest character of the whole show!
Series 5 was definitely one of the best series of the show
14:59 "Then God bless you my son." This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Love the priest Father O'Keith. RIP P.G. Stephens. 25:14 Also, so satisfying to witness Rodney get one over on Del. I always loved them both, but I always felt myself loving Rodney so much more for all the crap he has to put up with. Too many wonderful moments to recall them all here, but pure gold.
I agree best ever british sitcom!
Trotters Independent Traders would have still been trading throughout the covid19 pandemic, and they would not have needed no government handout.
they would have sold face masks to people and the masks turn out to be women bras.
They would be loaded, Del would have saw the demand for masks, gloves and hand gel and made a killing before Lockdown hit.
@@Naeidea Don't forget the bog roll
Del boy buys millions of masks for Corona on the cheap. Turns out to be Halloween masks 🤣🤣
@@Renegade2786 very funny!!!!!

“Hospitals do not send home paralysed people by bus!” That’s my favourite line in this whole show!
Absolute classics grew up watching del and Dave lol
100% the best ever British at it's best......never get bored if watching this....be honest how many people can relate to knowing someone that reminds you of one of these characters!!!.????😁😁
Arh!! this reminds me of when the bbc was british, bring back the good old days when the licence fee was worth paying
It was never worth paying for
@@alberttanner408 So what are you doing watching this then?
Timeless............... This bloody watch!!!!!
When uncle Albert says I think it’s a good idea Del, he hopes for a reward like a brandy
If the bbc made programs like this, the tv license Would be worth it, well maybe £120,,
Tv license is never worth a penny.
Is that still a thing?
Just imagine, only fools and horses on repeat on UK gold and BBC making money off it. Oh wait, that's exactly what happens.
@@djdusted6485 i watch all my shows online, i havent paid a TV License in over 3years now, only time we had a letter was when we signed into our account via the email that TV licensing had, so we just made a new email haven't heard anything in 2 years off the scumbags
@@benh4544 my point being, BBC makes money off subscription and advertising on UK gold. They kick up a fuss about both but not many people know they already do it.
My favourite Tv show ever.Watched every episode so many times and love it each time.
Just a classic from start to finish
Depressed, sad...this show changes my whole mood ❤️❤️❤️
Even when you know what the punchline is, and when it's coming, it still makes you laugh. That's good writing, and even better acting. We'll never see comedy like this again
It's rare to find shows like this any more.. Shows that are 80% pure comedy gold and 21% touching and tragic...
Best comedy in the world 🌎 honestly the best I've ever seen brings back all my childhood
When i am borred i turn them on....i always laugh...r.i.p john sullivan....man was genious
These were brilliant episodes but Series 5 & 6 were pure comedy gold and genius writing by Sullivan.
"Vot iz your name." Hahahahahaha! John Sullivan you star!!!
This sitcom will never be beaten
My Grandfather was a real Uncle Albert who served as a soldier during World War1 but he was in the Merchant Navy in the 2nd World War and got sunk repeatedly. Some would say a "very lucky man". Others would say "What a Jonah"
Good on him for serving his country 👍 Did he have endless stories, like Albert?
How can anybody give this the thumbs down? Did they have their sense of humour removed at birth?
Its best comedy ever. Had patience for a punchline whilst being funny throughout.
Fantastic childhood watching this in front of a coal fire in Doncaster, it doesn't get any better.
I googled it, you have an amazing cathedral there, with a tower equaling skyscrapers. It would make a nice observational deck. Let me ask you, did you have a coal fire because you didn't have any pipe heating?

@@DawnSuttonfabfour Have you seen Citizen Smith and Dear John? If yes, what do you think about them?
@@Horsley-Green Yes to both. Dear John was genius, cut short by the actor dying tragically young. Robert Lyndsey as The Tooting Popular Front. Had such a crush on him!
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I really love Dear John, you would have never thought a TV episode called Death would’ve been made so funny, But John Sullivan could do it. Ralph talking about his caravan and being trapped in the toilet. Then just when you were beginning to forget about it, Right at the end, Kirk talking about being drunk and shoving a caravan down an embankment. 😂
