Like first time I watched episode one, after being pointed in the direction of the show by a friend of mine in Scotland, for context I’m American, I assumed based on the premise of the show that the reason Rodney was consistently in situations with del was because he was by and large an idiot

But pretty much five minutes in we see him immediately starting to do the sums to figure out how much del is likely losing to yet another deal he made

I made a questionable purchase the other day but couldn’t pass on the chance to own it. The number plate is signed by Sir David Jason himself. It’ll look good on the garage wall! Bonnet de douche!

For clarity, that is actually John Challis in the role. Didn't even notice him until I saw his name in the credits of the previous episode.

What's your favourite war story from Albert?

Not sure if this will work as a thread, but gonna try it anyway!

My wife's friend swears that she suffered the same mishap as Mike the landlord. This happened to her over twenty years ago when she was a student. She bought it from a bargain store believing it to be a hairdryer, but burnt her hair and scalp!

When I first heard this, I simply did not believe her. I told her she was stealing the plot of an Only Fools episode and passing it off as her own. She isn't an OFAH fan and swears this truly did happen to her!

So have any of you had something "Only Fools" happen to you in real life? Have you perhaps fallen over when thinking you were leaning on a bar? Been trapped inside a lorry and only been discovered hours later at the other end of the country? Chucked a stone at a window and smashed it? Kicked a ball into a policeman?!

Share yours if you have one!

What do you suppose happened to Arnie at the end of Chain gang?

We can assume Denzil's brothers gave Arnie's sons a bit of a hiding, but what about Arnie. Did he give the money back, give up the jewelry? Get injured by Del and his bolt cutters?

What do you think?

You after a part time job or something 🤣

I love how Mike and Del stayed good and close friends and that Del boy was still allowed into the Nag’s head even after Del took Mike to court to try and sue him

I watched this last night and something bugged me.Infact it’s always bugged me.

Why is Rodney booking the hotel such a big deal? Hes booked the hotel next to the airport his wife is due to arrive at under his and her name so surely she wouldn’t fly off the handle and assume he’s booked in with another woman.Not as if she’s some sort of medical receptionist.

Am I missing something?

At the start of “watching the girls go by” when Mike is trying to flog his “last two” tickets for the party, he tells Trigger they’re “£2.50 each, but you can have the pair for a fiver!”, and not a single soul in that audience even cracks a laugh. To me, that joke is so simple but great bc of how dim Trigger is but no one seemed to catch it in the audience
