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"

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!

Loved the Margate episode, even now when we discuss going away for a few days with the lads we talk about organising a "Big boys jolly up to Margate"

Best comedy ever. I never get tired watching them and still laugh at the same jokes. Del Boy is brilliant.

My favourite episode ever had to be when Rodney won a holiday on a cereal box competition.

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

Found link to it

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.
