    Got some decent rides but my main retainers, Cumani and Johnston, aren't firing yet so my best chance could be to back Aint She a Saint e/w for Jane Chapple-Hyam!

    The fact it looks so natural just adds to the hilarity, I love when Del Boy calls Grandad a "soppy old tart" :D

    What makes the scene even funnier is just when the laughing from the image of Del falling through the bar dies down, David Jason delivers the superb "you're cramping my style mate!" line.

    Fantastic! :D

    Del goes and they say Rodney is only 14 or something, funniest shit ever

    RIP John, you were a 42 carot diamond. As many have said probably one of the greatest comedy writers for our generation. He'll be sadly missed. Also to note people, a new episode of Rock and Chips airs some of these night, John's last piece of work.

    Very sad news - a true legend. His genius comedy bought millions of people countless hours of laughter and he wrote probably the best sitcom of all time. John Sullivan RIP.

    As a Peckham girlie I was always proud of the comic genius that was Only Fools and Horses.

    Ps:In real life Peckham never had a Nelson Mandela House but it did have a Winnie Mandela Way! :D

    The genius of ofah was it was so heartfelt and genuine. There was real love and affection between the characters. Couple of times I had q lump in ny throat and "something in my eye" watching that show.

    The bit after Rodneys wedding where Del is standing in the nags head by himself is poignant.

    Jayzuz in the last week Sarah Jane Smith/Lis Sladen passes away and now John? I'm locked and loaded and ready to kill the cnut whose killing parts of my childhood. :(

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
