Grandad has obviously got of the two greatest lines again in this episode 1. “You wanna be a bit more careful about your health son. In the last 'alf hour you've done so much boot-licking you could be going down with cherry blossom poisoning” 2. Slater - “Take these two down the corridor and put them in separate rooms! I'll be along later to get their descriptions of this stone-deaf villain! And, oi! No conferring!” Grandad - “It's bleedin' starters for ten now!”
Jim Broadbent was cast originally as Del Boy and David Jason as Grandad, after the writers saw him playing Blanco in Porridge. Jason talked them into giving him the part of Del Boy and they were persuaded to do so.
John Sullivan, the master of British comedy, alongside Croft & Perry (Jimmy Perry and David Croft on Dad's Army and Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft on Allo Allo).
@@RJSRdg I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. I just checked and it's David Croft, Jeremy Lloyd on Allo Allo and David Croft and Jimmy Perry on Dad's Army.
@callumbarrington898 Nope! Enn Reitel was apparently first choice, then Jim Broadbent, then Billy Murray, and finally David Jason! It actually failed to take off at all during its first run! But then ITV went on strike, and the BBC decided to rerun Only Fools And Horses, and because there were still only 3 TV channels, the audience had to watch the rerun and slowly got into it! 🤔
Best writing + best acting, cant be beaten.
You could almost see what was about to happen but David Jason's superb acting made you genuinely doubt it until the punch line was delivered
Slater being beat never gets old
Aboslutely!😂

Jim Broadbent was an underrated gem in OFAH

Absolutely cracked me up !!!
"I did"
Great character is Slater.
4 great actors.
Just pure gold ❤
I must have seen that 50 in my lifetime, still makes me smile!
One of the best moments of OFAH. But I've always wondered whether Del really nicked it.
You just can't beat British comedy!
John Sullivan, the master of British comedy, alongside Croft & Perry (Jimmy Perry and David Croft on Dad's Army and Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft on Allo Allo).
You can add Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton to that list also (Psychoville and Inside No 9)
Jimmy Perry wasn't involved in 'Allo 'Allo. He was however involved with Hi-de-Hi and You Rang M'Lord.

When the BBC were worthy of a licence fee!
That's a bold statement 🙂
I DID!!😂
The album is fantastic
I did 😂😂😂😂 Legendary! 😍😍😍😍
I always thought that after this Slater would put the word out that Del Boy is a grass out of revenge.
Classic
Best scene in the show.
Maybe not the funniest, but it's Del at his best
ITS LOVELY JUBBLY!!!!
I am sure when slater signs the document, he writes his real name ie Jim Broadbent.
Superb
Final choice for Del Boy vs. 2nd choice for Del Boy!
🤔
David Jason wasn't even the second choice. An actor called Enn Reitel was.
@callumbarrington898 Nope!

I would love to know what a real policeman's take on the ending of this would be and if it's actually feasible what Del does.
Slater was originally cast as delboy
@@totallybored5526 As were Enn Reitel and Billy Murray! Thank god they all turned it down!
@@gearupgiftsyou should see the terrible US remake. Christopher Lloyd as Grandad! It’s on UA-cam somewhere.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the whole premise of this episode was absurd, a chief inspector investigating a missing microwave- ridiculous
At that time microwave ovens were worth a lot of money.
there's a con man, n all.....
😄😍🥰🌟♥️👍
Slater! Bullshit of the Yard!!
Damn, beeb made some great stuff. When did they turn to crap?
