    I have to say I was disappointed did have its moments, it was very clever by John Sullivan making the supposedly illegal immigrant the son of a millionare, but when he started repeating Gary I felt like punching him. The ongoing gag asbout the onion was very thin, the Trigger Denzel moment was hilarious, but the whole thing fell short, I thought last Christmas's was superior .

    It wasnt a patch on the oldies! But sure they are very hard to live up to.

    Wasnt bad.
    Better than most of the other stuff that's been on tonight.
    Thought it was funny the way all the guys in France had the big bushey beards.

    I didn't think it was too bad but still not as good as previous episodes.....don't think they are gonna get much better than Del Boy falling through the hatch in the bar or the one with the chandiliere.....chandelieree, chandel....ahhh you know the light bulb hanging one!!

    I think that maybe they should have left it at that when they found the watch and became millionaires!

    Last years Christmas one kinda left me wondering if this years would be any better....kinda dissapointed tbh

    Oh yeah, Del Boy's kid really annoys me......(Who in their right mind imatates Ali G.........ALL THE TIME?)

    The guy who played Damien is a TERRIBLE little actor.....

    Episode wasn't bad, though. Some really cheap laughs in it though....

    "OK, monkey. Talk to you soon, monkey. Bye, monkey."
    "That was monkey". :rolleyes:

    The 'trotterville' scenes were very funny, and the kidnapping story was pretty good. I think that OFAH was better as a half hour show (rather than trying to stretch a half hour of laughs over an hour-long show)

    I was looking forward to this but was dissapointed, it was a terrible show with few laughs

    I thought it was great.The best jokes regarded Rodneys,er,problem
    Del-I remember when you were having all those tests done to test your sperm count.There were so many samples in your fridge I wasnt sure which was the bottle of milk:D (or words to that effect)
    And the letter from the Seamens Association joke:)
    I agree though the Ali G impressions that Damien does make me cringe every time.Any time he comes on screen you pray he isnt going to shout out westside or bitch or something else-its just embarrasing and I sure hope the next episode has none of it.
    I was thinking that Denzel would turn out to be one of Alberts sons ,as they mentioned he had been in the carribean and he does have a white beard and light skin.He would have went insane if he found out he was related to Del:D

    I think people are being too particular when it comes to expectations for this show.OK,it may not be a totally classic episode but after 20 years can you expect the scripts to be as clever as those from the days before OFAH were chrimbo specials only?I think they are doing very well all considering.
