yeah I watched it.
was ok, bit boring in parts,,
far too much time of was spent on the freddy / dels mum story,,
not enough of del and his mates,,,
the cinema manager bits were just an embarrashing waste of time
so was good, but could have been a lot better,,,,

I watched it. I think James Buckley plays the part of a young Del Boy really well. Hes also so funny in the Inbetweeners.

I thought with the dels mates fancying his mum, and the walking catching the cinema manager doing you know what,,,, that he must of wrote it :)

I thought it was brilliantly written, but only for people who know the whole story. It bought everything together and if you hadn't watched all the OFAH episiodes, then I should imagine it was a bit boring.
I'm a massive fan of OFAH, so really enjoyed it.
John Sullivan wrote it Jeff.

Totally agree Daz, picked up all the loose ends.

what like, how and when exactly did Dels mum die,
When did Dels dad leave ?
And Darren,, yeah I know it was written by John Sullivan, Im a big fan of Only Fools too.
I was being sarcastic because those ideas were "borrowed" from the inbetweeners,,,

I would imagine the left the door open for a sequel (if the viewing figures were good enough)

well yeah,, maybe they should of made this a two part, as theres so much more they could do with it..
i mean, we could find out why Trigger calls Rodney "Dave" for a start :)
Also, Marlene could be in it ..
and thinking about it..a lot of time with those two girls was wasted,,what was the point of that..
I wonder if John Sullivan has lost his touch ?? I think so...

And even before it came on the bloke said this is the first of 2 parts. But they didnt mention afterwards when the second part is coming on so im a bit confussed. Although havent checked the tv book for the next 7 days so could be on next week.

2nd that, i love OFAH and I thinks that rock & chips perfectly tied the knots about freddy the frog etc, wernt as funny as hoped but still a very good programme to watch.

Superb that's all I can say about this......Freedy the Frog was not the only one to be mentioned, It also gave us Renie, Jumbo and Jelly Kelly.
Sky+ this and gonna watch it again tonight if I get time.
Not funny? :confused: Plenty of gags if you watched it.....the big difference....No canned laughter.
Loved it.

And a few others. Did you not recognise Clayton? He was in the episode with the blow up dolls.

...also Slater and Dockside School.....from The re-union.
There was also the gag about 8 cups of tea.....in Trigger style....:sj:
I did hear the Radio 2 interview with John Sullivan about this....clever guy.
It also goes to show what impact he had with OFAH - which I miss on Christmas Day....not the same.

By far the funniest episode ever.
Why does the clip with Dell falling through the bar get held in such high esteem when that episode is far funnier?
It's the only one that ever had me crying with laughter.

Because he wasnt supposed to fall through the bar in the script, someone forget to close the bar door. :lol:

I don't think so, the fall looks too contrived to have been accidental

That's correct Steve.
However, Trigger, was not supposed to be in the scene. Roger Lloyd-pack was actually filming something different in a room nearby and just popped in during a break, and somehow found himself in the scene. (I found this out first hand ;) )

I've heard this tale, I also think the fall is 1st class and put this down to perfect comedy timing on David Jason's behalf.....true classic.

For me it was the expression on Triggers face which really made it.
However the chandelier sketch is my all time favourite.

Now that was funny.
Jolly Boy's Outing for me and the one bit, which I love, was Delboy walking down the seaside with him doing an impression of Dustin Hoffman from The Midnight Cowboy with Everyone's Talking by Harry Nillson playing in the background - pure class.
