The Only Fools And Horses Thread

In “Little Problems”, Del, Trigger, Jevon and Mickey hide upstairs in the pubs function/snooker room behind the curtain.

The Driscoll brothers come in and Tony, upon instruction from Danny, picks up a snooker cue to poke the curtain.

We all know what becomes of this scene but what interests me is that there is not one snooker or pool table to be seen in the room. There may have been a function on or maybe they were out to get new cloth but again, I just feel this is a very obvious flaw in Sullivan’s show.

Also they stand right behind the curtain when you can clearly see yards of free space behind them.

Also, earlier in the episode someone makes a joke about the Driscoll Brothers being after Del. Del thinks he is serious then realises its a joke.  However a few mins later he seems shocked when Jevon and Mickey tell him that they sold the phones to the Driscoll Brothers. ''You aint been dealing wiv the Driscoll Bruvas ave you??!''   Then they tell him the Driscoll Brothers are after him and he says ''I know. I have had a warning.'' 
Not sure if that makes sense.

In to Hull and Back, where's the back room? The door they head towards is the pub entrance.

Also in To Hull and Back:

Why do they meet at the Nages Head when Del Boy comes back with the diamonds?

Makes no sense as earlier in the episode its revealed that Del, Boycie and Abdul know that Slater is onto them and monitoring them.  That's why they decide to meet in Denzils lorry and not the pub as was suggested by Del while ont he phone to Boycie.  So why be so stupid to meet in the place that they earlier agreed would be watched by the cops??

Sullivan you plonker!

I read  that Sullivan was extremely lazy and wanted to lie down on the set while writing his flawed scripts for future episodes and so demanded the 2 seats were replaced by a couch.  I suppose this little thing showed a window into his character and tells us why there are so many plot holes and errors.  If he was that lazy when writing he was too lazy to make sure he had no plot holes.

Because to quote Slater 'Hoskins is my driver'. He's never referred to as his partner

Because he's a flash fcuker trying to look the business

Trigger's real name in the series is Colin Ball. Pub trivia gold.

How has Del never been done for drink driving?
