The Only Fools And Horses Thread

In to Hull and Back another major flaw:


Young Terry and the cops know that Slater aka citizen is up to no good with a diamond smugglign operation.  Yet when Del Boy and Boycie and Abdul are nabbed at the end Young Terry (wearing a sombrero no less) stops them escaping from the Nags Head.  The cops knew Slater had takent he diamonds for himself as they had set him up yet why were Del and the rest not arrested themselves for diamond smuggling!  Even though Slater has the diamonds Del had illegally smuggled them in and so should have been arrested and put away regardless. 

The script is that Slater couldn't find evidence on them and so couldn't be charged and thats how it plays out yet the cops knew Del and the rest had smuggled them in and Slater was then caught in possession of the diamonds yet no questions or repercussions about how he got them!

Sullivan was a chancer like Del Boy!

Watching it on +1 now ahoy there shipmate

''We cant pull out now the arrangements have been made''.  What a load of tosh.  They could easily call off the deal or postpone it.  England's dumbest criminals! Also how thick were they to meet in the Nags Head in broad daylight upon Del's return??  Makes no sense as earlier in the episode they avoid meeting there because they know the cops will be watching out there for them. Dear oh dear! Are you sure they met in the Nags Head at the end? I thought it was in Boycie's office.

Defo Nags HEad

McG, does Abdul feature in any other episode? I think not but I bow to your expertise.

More flaws:

In Time On Our Hands Racquel gets up at 6.30am and is fretting over her parents coming to dinner. Cassandra phones the flat a minute later saying Rodney came in late last night which Del relays to Racquel.  She says ''I know. You were with him.''

Then they come up with a plan to make Rodney forget about his miscarriage. So Del acts sick. Rodney comes into the flat (at 6.30am) stone cold sober and they tell him Del is sick and they had to call the doctor last night.

But Del was out with Rodney until 3 or 4am. 

ROBBED A LIVING!

In “time on our hands” James decides to leave his car for the night so he can enjoy another glass of wine. Del offers to put it in their garage overnight.

Switch to the next morning. Del pops out of James’s car (assuming he reversed it out of their garage).... the area of space in the garage with the added clutter would no way allow for the size of what looks like a Ford Scorpio to be parked up safely.

What a crock of sh*te.
