I have conflicted emotions watching this. I adore this show and all of the characters. I feel sad for days gone by and the loss of pure, innocent fun. We’ve lost something, somehow
I feel sorry for the young generations of the present day. They won’t feel this sense of pure innocent humour. A childhood now is massively different from one of those days
@@martinscholes2023 Definitely not, sometimes I watch that episode with a bit of sadness rather than happiness because of the reasons you mentioned. Great post.
You can tell they had a blast filming this episode. Honestly watching this makes me sad in a way because it makes you think back at the times when you use to go on big outings with family, friends and neighbours and everyone chipped in to help. Not anymore though, those kinds of outings are long gone. Also makes you think about the people you went with on those trips who are sadly no longer alive. But only fools and horses had a powerful message, remember the good times you had with everyone and never forget them or where you came from
A lot of this was filmed very close to where we live (still do)in the later part when the coach pulls up and Rodney gets off and walks to his home,this was Lower Northdown Ave Margate,the block of flats are yards from my rd. Great Memories 👍 😅
0:11, 0:13, 0:15 RIP - so sad they're no longer with us. Great characters (and actors) in one of the very best OFAH episodes. The extra footage is great, thanks for sharing.
When you watch only fools and horses you know you are going to laugh your socks off but they is times when it just doesn’t get any better and this is one of those times 😊👍👏👏
My favourite episode. This scene is something special, just amazing. Funny, nostalgic, innocent. Love it, long live Only Fools and Horses ❤ thanks for uploading. Magic!! 👍
@@Edgel-in6bs so true, I've always been torn between them as being the best. "The Bear???... Well it looks like a bloody Rabbit" . For me Jolly Boys just tips the scale, I think it's the Seaside nostalgia. Takes me back to better times.
@stevejones6503 haha, yes, although I actually went to margate and Folkstone in 1989, the year of this prior to a trip to France as a 14yr old, and all I can say is this episode perhaps edited out the drunks fighting in the arcade :) Main reason I remember the late 80s and 90s wirh fondness is I was younger... "It looks like a bloody rabbit" is perhaps my favourite line ever from any comedy, albeit "I think she'll do a turn if you play your cards right" is up there.....
Its great to see it again on my phone on my own but nothing will beat sitting round the telly with your whole family and friends watching this at christmas etc.. alas those days are gone 😢
Remember our own jolly boys outings to Margate and sneaking in to Dreamland through holes in the fences and over walls alongside the railway tracks, had to run off the end of the platform and get into the bushes before station master saw you, got caught once and fined £9 for trespass on the railway . Those were the days !! John Sullivan captured life as it was so well with his storylines and scripts and the cast were brilliant. There'll never be another Only Fools & Horses !!
This has come to light recently when trains have had to be stopped because of "trespassers on the railway" apparently trying to access Dreamland to watch whatever musical attraction is on.Quite a few top liners during the Summer or were they trying to get out ?
What a great show had the lot, fantastic writing brilliant actors, and it was hilariously funny. Comedy today if you can call it that isn’t in the same class. Watched this 100s of times and still makes me laugh
Yeah normally if there is 'joe public' in the background of scenes in tv or film then they are inconspicuous, but I suppose it was difficult for them not to stare and be in awe of these immortal guys from THE best tv show of all time! 😉
I live in Margate still do,we watched a lot of these scenes being filmed. The bit where Del and Rodney arrived back at the Villa Bella late was filmed in Dalby Square actually quite late one summer eve when it was dark, incredible to imagine that when they are skipping across the square trying to be quiet then chucking stones at the window there are crowds of people literally just off camera,also trying to keep quiet. The bit where the coach blows up was one Sunday morning when there was a children mini marathon going on in the area and all the stars suddenly turned up. Great Memories and loads of "off the record" snaps.
@@barrysolly2637 I can remember the exact date of the Dalby Sq filming when they are first looking for a B&B - it was May 11th 1989, the day before my 15th birthday. I remember watching them film and asking my Dad who the Jarrow marchers were that Del mentions. And Rodney's 'London' flat where he's dropped off at the end was shot just off Northdown Road in Cliftonville.
I miss the old days when people still had a sense of humour. This country has become a miserable soulless humourless place to live where people get offended by just about everything .
Ironic that you yourself have got offended by your perceived state of the country so much to make a bitter comment yourself. Small minded Twats have always whinged about the state of the country, and always will. The same whinges today were heard in 1989.
Nah, don't fall for it dude, only the IDIOTS think like that, most people are ok, the mainstream media would like to to think otherwise, the idiots are the tiny minority, chin up old bean
Most people don't have a problem with it, it's the social engineers pulling the strings of the govt that do. People are being conditioned into thinking something is offensive when it isn't, and this is being used to control people and their behvaviour and thoughts so we become complacent.
When I was a kid my mum and nan would take my sister and I to Margate during Easter or half term. Good times. However I went back with my wife who had never been to Margate, it was raining and most of the shops were closed down and I think the theme park was closed down. (Can't remember really) just didn't feel the same
them were the days,cant watch most of the tv shows nowadays, many i find embarrassing, makes me question the mentality of the millennials that actually enjoy the non stop stream of "reality"shows, also makes me gratefull to have grown up in the seventies and eighties, for me a golden age of tv,cinema, music etc.
Not just reality TV. Everyone seems to be obsessed with Netflix, and alot of the TV shows on there are full of very dark and disturbing themes and storylines, even stuff that is aimed at kids is full of satanic imagery and propaganda. Then there's ITVX, all full of morbid crime dramas like Original Sin, the Bay etc, plus it's all woke.
I'm surprised no amateur home video has been released by a member of the public filming some of the scenes. I know this was 1989 even before handycam type camcorders had become commonplace, but video cameras where around then albeit very clunky and expensive. With all the scenes being filmed in that seaside town it would've attractive alot of attention and crowds gathered to watch, and possibly someone may've recorded some of the filming or taken a few snaps with their camera. But saying that, it's surprising even today with everyone having a smartphone on them you see very little footage of any TV show being filmed, or at least few little footage gets uploaded.
The Best Ever!!... Comedy Gold!! ... We'll never see the likes of it again in this Sad world where we are living today with all this Political Correctness Crap!!.
Totally agree my friend.The only PC World I have any time for is the high street chain that sells laptops and other electrical items (in the UK). The other one can go and disappear up its own arse for all I care!!
Loved margate as a child in the 70,s it was a treat to go on the train down from south london,have great memories of this place,wish it was still the same,when i watch this it makes me cry with happiness when times were good,and people were care free ❤️

Hi I am the kid in this video who is steering the remote control boats with Buster. I was playing on them when they approached my Dad and asked if I wanted to carry on playing . I had no idea I would be so much in the film They was very nice to me and I remember one of the team got me a bag of items from the joke shop Sugar lumps with flies in Things to push into cigarettes to make them explode (yes it’s true ) Some other items that I kept for years and years I was 11 years old here
@@jamiehayes5888 Micky Pearce wife and Daughter are from Thailand It’s definitely me 😂 There is a Polaroid photo somewhere of the day I will see if I can find it one of them has the kiss me quick hat on ( not trigger)
Odd, despite the glorious day they had, that all of them are wearing coats and jackets underneath their coats. I can understand Uncle Albert wearing with his age, but why where the others wearing coats?. Maybe it wasn't that warm.
It's always bugged me about this episode was that the cheapskate BBC would rather edit out a singing part in the club when they are eating scampi, than pay for the royalties on the dvds.🤷

@@martinscholes2023 Definitely not, sometimes I watch that episode with a bit of sadness rather than happiness because of the reasons you mentioned. Great post.
I agree. It feels like the UK has lost something watching this, and I say that as someone who wasn't even born in the 80s.

Sadly they are you put it perfectly
Fun Fact - The little boy in the remote controlled boats sequence with Uncle Albert is Patrick Murray's (Mickey Pearce) real life son.
0:11, 0:13, 0:15 RIP - so sad they're no longer with us. Great characters (and actors) in one of the very best OFAH episodes. The extra footage is great, thanks for sharing.
Awesome! The best programme to ever grace our television screens!!
Trigger, Boycie, Mike and Albert all lost plus Grandad and Sid of course. Absolute gold
The best scene, of the best episode, of the best series ever
