The Only Fools And Horses Thread

Another flaw is the last bus goes at 8pm. They say that is in 10 mins time.  It's the summer in England.  It would get dark at the earliest 9.45pm in south east England. 

How did this show even get aired. 

Another flaw is when Mike and the two lads are running off to find accommodation its only dusk where as its pitch dark as the camera cuts back to trigger.

Do you actually watch the show like?? That plot hole is explained almost immediately after they get the tickets. The speakers on my tv don't work properly sometimes I'm with TJ here. At one point your man says it's a fiver in. How can you sell comps for a nightclub when full price is only a fiver anyway?

5 bob in 1989 would be about 15-20 now. Make 2 pound a ticket.

How long was it between Raquel going to Saudi Arabia or wherever it was and her working in Margate?

Filming may have been 2 years but no way it was supposed to have been that long between seeing each other. Inside a year I seem to recall. Raquel elaborates at the bar in JBO something about 6 month tour and in Margate a few months.

Top top knowledge   Some prequel to Only fools on now about the Trotter familt in the 1960's.  Never heard of it before or seen it. I'll be keeping an eye out for mistakes

Again without googling it its called something like 'Rock and chips'. Apart from having it as a meal I don't think I could stomach it as a spin off without its best characters

Apart from having it as a meal I don't think I could stomach it as a spin off without its best characters 5 mins in and I'm not too impressed so far.   Seems like a serious drama and not a comedy.

Think you’re right there.
Rodney playing the gentleman thief Freddy the Frog.... “sat on his own detonator,. What a plonker”

It's 'bunse' !!!

From bunsen burner = nice little earner

Watching Rodney Come Home where he storms out of his flat after a row with Cassandra. He goes to his garage and cycles out leaving the door of the garage wide open and the light on.  That wouldn't happen in real life.

Rodneys flat location changes as well.  In the Jolly Boys Outing the exterior is different to this episode.

Oi McG.  Couple of questions for OFAH number 1 fan:

1. When did Del Boy stop wearing his camel hair coat the one he wears in the episodes such as the one where Rodney goes out witht he convicts wife? I'm guessing around 1984
2. When do Rodney and Cassandra stop fighting exactly?  In the last of the decent episodes they seem to get along fine. Always seemed to be fighting after they got married.
3. When did Del stop being a yuppy and wearing flashy suits? Saw Fatal Extraction earlier and he and Rodney were dressed shabbily and looked poor.  They always seemed to be wearing suits circa 1989 and seemed to be climbing the social ladder and doing well financially.
4.  Is Rodney and Cassandra's flat in episodes after 1993?


Looking forward to your response
