When Uncle Albert says "..on my way to post my entry form for The Krypton Factor..." had me on the floor laughing!!
"Loss of memory? Knowing him he'll forget" 😄😄 the writing on this show was second to none!
0:31
I dont remember that joke :-)
Hugh Mungus!!! What happened to that possessed woman who attacked him?
Camera Angle ,
Del Boys Face ,
Solicitors Cross Examination ,
Wording ,
Grampas Replies ,
Brilliant Just Brilliant .
Dels face in the background is just brilliant 👏 👌..hes been down more holes than Tony jacklin 🤣🤣
3:43
Apparently John Sullivan knew someone close that used to do what Albert did, falling down holes to claim insurance. Rodney was based on his Older brother.
I never used to understand that line because I didn't know who Tony Jacklin was.
@@shaneogden7437 I just looked him up, apparently he's a golfer.
This is actually one of the greatest episodes. It's a singular storyline that you could watch and understand without any previous knowledge of the show, but it's also heart-warming and absolutely hilarious.
Jim Sullivan , an absolute genius and sorely missed by all.
@Defund the NASA Now of course no idea where jim came from lol
I was in the RAF with his nephew, we used to think he was bull shitting but first time I saw John in an interview could see very strong resemblance
??? Who's Jim Sullivan
Who’s Jim
John not Jim!
Del Boy's facial expression in the background is hilarious. This show is just the greatest ever created
One of my all time favourite episodes. The first scene with the suntan lotion is absolute gold. What a performance from Buster Merryfield to follow in Leonard Pearce's shoes too. They integrated him into the show with perfection ❤️
The transition from Grandad to Uncle Albert was done brilliantly. People argue over which was the better character but both were excellent . The advantage with Uncle Albert was Del and Rodney not knowing him very well so there was his back story to explore, like in this episode.
How the actor playing the prosecutor keeps a straight face through all that brilliant
Andrew Tourell was the actor, and very lovely to look at he was. RIP.
@@hazelanderson1479 thanks
@@aidenmkelly You’re welcome!
Because when you rehearse lines over and over, you become desensitised to them being funny. You have to. Had to do the same with comedy plays I have been in
“What was it the insurance companies nicknamed him?”
“The ferret” 😂
"You wanna try walking it pal!" Hilarious line!
that one liner has stayed with me for over 30 years.
Don't forget the "well that's one hell of a parting" joke too buster was a genius
@@jamiehoward5538 Yes that episode was when Albert was on top form😂
Fun fact: this episode was originally filmed with Grandad instead of Albert.
Unfortunately the actor who played Grandad passed away shortly after the episode was due to come out so it was replaced with the funeral episode and Buster Merryfield ( Albert) ended up performing the episode
I remember reading about that. I think that some clips from the original footage with Lennard Pearce did make the final cut of this episode. I think it was somewhere at the beginning when Rodney, Del and Albert went to the Nags Head.
Correct , this was meant to be Ep1 but moved it to Ep3 due to Lennard Pearce (Granddad) passing . They added Ep2 funeral as a respect for Lennard and introduce Buster (Albert) character.
Yeah I think I saw a picture of granddad in the wheelchair a few years back
Filming hadn't finished before Lennard Pearce passed away, so it had to be re-done.
Why do only fools and horses work?
The reason why Albert did this was heartwarming.
He wanted to help Del and Rodney to pay for Grandads headstone.
In the original script Grandad only did it to "make some money"😅😅😅
At the expense of numerous brewery companies though. He should’ve gone to prison.
@@54spatulait’s a tv show
@@jordanbarber4698no it’s not, it’s real. It’s all on camera. Look
Albert earlier should have told them truth why he did it then they would have settled with the out of court money.
I dont even think Saul Goodman could get out of this one.
Or Houdini
hardly call that overseas you try walking it pal 😂
You have repeated something that was said in the video. Why?
@@harpharpharpharp1971 because I wanted to why?
That's an old Dick Emery joke.
That is a great line.
Perfect response 👍
'Post me entry form, for the Krypton Factor' 😅😅😅😅
I'm just picturing Uncle Albert doing the assault course. 😂😂😂😂
In his wheelchair.
@@hazelanderson1479 Yes. 😅😅😅
He would have been alright though.
As he did basic parachute training, during the 1939-1945 conflict with Germany.
It's when Del Boy said...." the only hole he hasn't been down is the dark hole of Calcutta"....cracks me up everytime..
😂😂
'' You wanna try walking there pal ''
Why do only fools and horses work?
2:10
Old Benny Hill joke. Yet another joke John Sullivan nicked from elsewhere.
@@Trev359 You must be a right laugh at parties
"Isle of white!? Hardly overseas."
"You should try walking it, pal."
Absolutely quality. 😂
Benny hill gag I remember it!!!
John sullivan you were and WILL always be a genius connected to this comedy gold-series no matter what,
The funmy bit for me is the recation on Del Boy's face when the barrister is nameing Uncle Albert's "falls" 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget the movement of their heads back and forth
“You wanna try walking it pal” gets me every time, even after watching it so many times! 😂😂
Only now as an adult, who sometimes enjoys a round of golf, do I finally get that Tony Jacklin joke XD
I had to look up who Tony Jacklin was! I like golf but I had no idea who he was for years until I looked him up on the internet.
Del’s face at 3:15
Priceless
Why do only fools and horses work?
Del's face in the background when Rodney testifies is is even funnier. Can't find that clip though.
I simply cannot stop laughing 😂 at this scene
Why do only fools and horses work?
Simply Gary? I cannot stop laughing at the scene would of been sufficient. Grow up
Miss watching these in the 90s with my family in West London...
That's simple buy the collection
@@Awoodcock30 I have had the collection for years
Why do only fools and horses work?
@@delboy6736 Because a few people own bits of paper that says they can have free money every month that gets taxed at half of the rate the rest of the majority's wages are taxed at for working to create the majority of the wealth given away for free every month to that minority who did f*** all for it.
The minority have nice names like capitalists and rentier capitalist landlords.
@@Nine-Signs What a load of crap, the capitalist part of our economy is the Private sector ( all the businesses, small and large and restaurants and eateries and pubs and of course the Private Schools) it’s the public sector ( Socialist part) that sits on its laurels and shoves paper all day and does squat all for their pay, most of which want indefinite furlough. Capitalists work for a living, it’s the socialists that are constantly striking for more pay they haven’t even worked for, that’s the reason why Scotland is a mess because 80% of its people belong to their pretend parliament, only 20% are actually working in the private sector, the rest are work shy on welfare, whilst Nicola Sturgeon and her party take the British taxpayers money ( only 1 million Scots pay it and its very high, so the rest is coming from the English, whom the SNP hate ) via the Barnet System subsidy and are not redistributing it like they are supposed to, they are just putting it a vault someplace and siphoning it off for themselves. You are surrounded by capitalism everyday, everything in your own home is down to capitalism, because capitalists produce things, manufacture things whereas Socialist/Communist economies fail because they don’t produce anything and they are all poverty stricken. You cannot have socialism without capitalism, even welfare is capitalism. Even Del Boy selling dodgy gear is capitalism. The socialist ideology of redistribution of wealth ( invariably someone else hard earned wealth via high taxation) and public ownership of all business and industry, fails and doesn’t pay the bills - only capitalism does. That’s why when people get to around 35-40 they change their political outlook and become centre right capitalists rather than lefties ( unless as I said, they are extremely wealthy) as the often by that time have a family to support, a mortgage to pay and a car to run. Their former outlook doesn’t work in reality.
Have you suffered from amnesia before?
I can't remember.
You have repeated something that was said in the video. Why?
@@harpharpharpharp1971 so what if I have?
Why do only fools and horses work?
One of the best scenes of the entire show.
I've watched every episode of Fools many, many times, and I know what's coming next in every scene. Still roar with laughter every time though 🤣🤣🤣
When the judge lists all the pubs and the holes that Albert has fallen down, I can't stop laughing. Coz there's just so many. Even after the scene finished, the list went on. That's why Del and Rodney had to leave.
Maybe, you were the same Albert Gladstone Trotter, who in 1972, fell down the cellar of the 'New York Inn'.
How about.
1973: Fell down The cellar of the ' Hogwarts express'
1975: Fell down the cellar of the ' Flying Swan'
1977: Fell down the Cellar of the 'Butlins Standard'
1979: Fell down the cellar of 'The Sun Hill Arms'
1981: Fell down the cellar of the 'Coronation Westminster social club'
.
"...fell down the cellar of Les Fleurs in Dover?"
(he's on his way to France now, to see if he can trick their courts)
@@AndyB1286 Yes. 😂😂😂
Dell's Rodney's and Sollys faces priceless.
You wanna try walking it pal hahahaha
The background expressions on Del, Rodney and the brief Solly, played by the excellent Colin Jeavons is awesome..
Anthony Jacklin CBE is a retired English golfer. He was the most successful British player of his generation, winning two major championships, the 1969 Open Championship and the 1970 U.S. Open. He was also Ryder Cup captain from 1983 to 1989; Europe winning two and tying another of these four events.
And from Scunthorpe 😊
The Krypton Factor? Honestly, can you imagine Albert taking on the assault course?
Why do only fools and horses work?
Oh my god, that image is now stuck in my head Joseph. Uncle Albert on the Krypton Factor. 😂😂😂
Imagine the interview as he is about to start.
'During the 1939-1945 conflict with Germany, we were on board, this vessel, it had a gym and me and my mate Tubby Fox went there, and we trained hard, when suddenly the engine blew up and we were all forced to swim to shore, I ended up, in a storage depot on the Isle of Wight'
1:19
Altho he was an athlete all his real life
RIP Lennard Pearce
Absolutely, however it's Buster Merryfield in this sketch....
@@gaggymott9159I know its Buster but as someone else has pointed out Lennard Pearce was originally going to be in this episode but around the time they started filming Hole in One he had a heart attack and very tragically died. There's a picture of Lennard in an OFAH book I own where he's sat in the same wheelchair like Buster outside the court when they were filming Hole in One but they obviously had to re-shoot the scenes. Thinking about it, I should've maybe put RIP Lennard & Buster because they were both brilliant and the pair of 'em always make me laugh ! I think they're both fantastic in their own unique way 👍
Why do only fools and horses work?
RIP someone totally random.
@@delboy6736la,la,la...
Been down more holes than Tony Jacklin, pure genius writing 😂
Love uncle Albert 😍💕
FYI Tony Jacklin
Anthony Jacklin CBE is a retired English golfer. He was the most successful British player of his generation, winning two major championships, the 1969 Open Championship and the 1970 U.S. Open. He was also Ryder Cup captain from 1983 to 1989; Europe winning two and tying another of these four events.
Hence Del Boy saying, " He's been done more holes than Tony Jacklin".
Thanks I never understood that reference.
Albert was the best character cracks me up every time
Never gets old..brilliant
3:17 Del boys face🤣🤣
dels face is just classic acting
Sounds like a decent pub craw between Portsmouth to Canning Town
You wanna try walking it pal
Pure, unadulterated genius
3:00 solly knows they’ve had it
Proper British comedy 🤣👍🇬🇧
Why do only fools and horses work?
@@delboy6736 la la la la, la la la la la
It's a bloody nightmare Rodney! One of my phrases of choice when stuff doesn't go to plan for me.
Used to watch OFAH together with my dad who has sadly passed away. Good memories
GENIUS COMEDY TIMELESS PEERLESS 🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂
Hold on, if he won all previous cases and liability was on the brewery, how did they end up losing.
For all the court knows he is just an unlucky man.
I hv watched these series for million time but still I enjoy watching as I am watching for the first time.
Loved this episode
Del's & Ronney's face!
The solicitor mentioned my home town at 3:35 😂😂😂
Extract from the original Hole in One script with Grandad.
"Let's try a more recent case then. Could you be the same Edward Kitchener Trotter who in 1948 fell down the cellar of The Coach and Horses, Streatham High Street and received Two Hundred and Twenty Five Pounds out of court settlement?"
"Me mind's a blank!"
😅😅😅😅
The ferret he’s been down more holes than tony jacklin
I googled Tony Jacklin, he was a golfer

Oh Del, you should have just taken the money but greed wins out in the end
Why do only fools and horses work?
Yes it was thousands was offering and imagine how much that was then, why risk going near a court, i know what i would have done.
@@johnclegg4993 Unfortunately Del is greedy
Priceless 😂😂😂
Never stop laughing watching them...😅😅😅....
The bit where Rodney was testifying was hilarious. Cant find any clips of it.
The only hole he hasn’t been down is the black one in Calcutta 😂 Genius comedy.
Fun fact: This episode (Hole in one) was originally filmed with Grandad (Lennard Pierce) but unfortunately he had died of a heart attack in the middle of filming for the episode so they got Buster Merryfield to play Uncle Albert instead.
No grandad died during the filming of the episode strange relations
@@d8456no that’s incorrect. Pearce (Grandad) died during the filming of Hole in One (this episode). He had done a small amount of location filming. After his death the episode Strained Relations was written specifically to give Pearce an on screen funeral and to introduce his replacement Uncle Albert. Hole in One was re-filmed with Uncle Albert and placed after Strained Relations in the running order of the series (series 4).
Superb comedy 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Absolutely fantastic just love it 😂😂❤❤
They are the best,
This is great comedy for sure; but it should be noted some people try this sort of thing on for real!
Very true ! Thats where John Sullivan got the idea from, a true story 😂 Lots of them are. Some with extra bits ect added in. The Jolly Boys outing came from an original story. So did a touch of glass. That one came from John Sullivan's father and was a true story and when John's father first told John about it John Sullivan thought it was hilarious and was laughing but his father was not amused because it was back in the days of the depression where if you lost your job you could starve to death so John's father was incredibly serious about it. Funny thing is when OFAH episodes were originally broadcast, John's father would always ring him afterwards when they had finished but for A Touch of glass John was actually dreading his father ringing but when his Dad called he said
"Yeah you're right it was funny!
Why do only fools and horses work?
Thats why we are in the mess we're in now .
Just what's needed after a long day.
As this was originally meant to be grandad theres a bit of a goof in Albert's war storys. He def def did travel the world on ships etc cause there is proof of this through out later ofah series. However according to this episode he just stayed in the ile of white . Basically that was meant to be grandad war past not Albert's.
Good point
They originally intended Albert's stories to be 95% bullshit with a much more mundane real war service, but they didn't want to look like they were mocking those that fought in WW2, so they changed tact and made his stories true. If you rewatch series 4, then you'll see that's pretty consistent. He was a boiler maintenance man for a bit and worked in a storage depot. Rodney even calls out in his first episode that he's clearly making up all of his war stories. They spoke about it in 'The Story of Only Fools and Horses' documentary.
@@somerandomguy2073 that's interesting. I saw that ofah documentary but dont recall that? I agree the boiler maintenance from Albert was also mentioned in to hull and back. However I still personally think the dialogue was originally meant for grandad. It just sounds like grandads war past more then Albert's.

😂 just made my day
Best program ever lol 😂
This was originally going to be a Grandad episode and they did film some scenes (I believe) with him before he passed away
Dels solicitor was the original saul goodman lmao
The only 'ole he hasn't fallen down is the black one in Calcutta.
Why do only fools and horses work?
Ok so am I missing something or have these episodes been missed out of netflix? I've never seen this clip before along with a lot more others!!!
The Ferret..
THE FERRET!?!?!?!
Why do only fools and horses work?
Brilliant 😂
Dont make sense they go to France in later episode and he has fathered children in France during the war yet never went overseas
Post my entry form for the krypton factor 😂😂
PLEASE stay safe one and all thanks.
What did the call him?
The Ferret.
Grandad was scripted to say this in the original footage that got re-shot
"Very little Sir. One minute I was walking along thinking about the orphans outing I was arranging, the next I was falling through the air!. All me life flashed before me!. Dunkirk, Monte Casino, El Alamein!"
Kypton Factor entry form sounds funnier!😅😅😅
Classic TV at its best
Post his form to the krypton factor 😂
Can someone explain what the CD sticker they put on there vehicle in this episode means?Thanks..
If waa out of court settlement the solicitor would not know about it its to keep it out of court
You want to try and walk it pal.
Only Fouls is brilliant I'm in my 50,s and still find it hilarious, my son is 15 and loves it too
Timeless comedy that's been unmatched since. You don't need to be older to appreciate it.
That prosecutor is a BOAR (bit of all right). RIP Andrew Tourell.
PLEASE DO
It's a pity this episode was not a bit later or Del could have said Albert has been down more holes than Tiger Woods.
If it would have been that late the show would have been over or the actor had died
I’d loved to seen the original with Grandad
the Ferret!
you try walking it Brilliant
It's a bloody nightmare Rodney it's a bloody nightmare Rodney he's been down more holes than tony jacklin
