My whole youth and now midle ages is attached to ofah ,me and my wife every winter have ritual and watch again again ofah .They ade LEGENDS in my country.Love and support from Bosnia 🇧🇦⚜️ to all OFAH fans and good ppl from UK .
Did you enjoy Minder too? That was shown during the 1980's same time as Only Fools and equally as brilliant! It's a bit extra special because Minder was filmed entirely on location only.
I'm so torn! It's amazing to see the real life version of something we've watched for years, but i also still really want to believe it all actually happened in Peckham :)
The Bristol Episodes never had the same 'feel' as the London based ones imo. You could tell straight off that the Nelson Mandela house wasn't a London tower block.
I loved this show. Delboy naturally was my favorite. Always a scam going on.I got my husband to watch this and he got hooked on UT as quickly as I did.Classic telly at it's best. Then I found Open all Hours. Another classic hit. Also Still Open All Hours. I'm proud to say I have the entire collection of all 3 series 😅😅😅😅 I feel bad I just turn one of these shows and my troubles dissappear
Awesome watches mate, took down all the locations and went to look for ourselves. So thank you for that!! Your leg work has helped us make some (and relive some) great memories 💯👍🏼
Those 1996 Christmas specials really were special and it's lovely to see these places a relive those golden moments. I love looking up all the old filming locations, I'll to visit a few some day as I live in London.
well bugger me dead i watched originals with parents way back in the 80s,they were like my other family growing up with them, always reminds me of me mum now watching them on dvd, she used to shout me down from me bedroom to watch it, but i never knew it was filmed in bristol thank you
I live in the flats opposite whitemead and there more locations around here nags head pub , boycie car yard ( but it down for destruction soon) and stadium car park was the market place. Plus I got a garage too 4 down from Del Boys .
Great video. I live in the block of flats that the show was filmed in and we do get reguler fans visit as well as tours on the weekend. Wonderful show that I can watch again and again. Great to see the fandom still going strong and I hope that will always be the case.
I live in Italy and with my family we watched all the episodes of Only Fools and Horses, this thanks to my mum Sheila from England! It is one of our favourites! We really thought it was all filmed in Peckam! Congratulations for your video, you’ve done a great job, thank you!!!!
I lived in bristol all my life, I know practically all locations of this amazing classic tv comedy There's so much more to see. Where you were stood showing where the wine bar was that was where rod met Cassandra. If you ever wanna look at more give me a shout il come along with ya.. great great video
Nice video bud. Would you be interested in doing a collaboration sometime? If you are drop me a message sometime. Would love to do something a bit like this sometime or if you interested in doing some urbex with me 😉👍 let me know.
I've been to two locations in Bristol. In 'Fatal Extraction', when Del and Rodney emerge from the casino and are standing in the doorway. Me and my brother had a photo in that same doorway. The place in 'Heroes and Villains' where the van breaks down. Nowadays, it's right next to Cabot Circus.
I notice how you said you needed to jump back in your car before you got a parking ticket... did you not have your 'Midwife On Emergency Call' sticker on your windscreen?
I've loved this show since i was a kid in the mid 90s. I moved from the UK to the states several years ago and still watch these, which non of my US family and friends get I'm sure lol. One of the best comedies ever written. Great job finding the areas. Glad you found the entrance to the wine bar, "who's the tart" is one of my favourite lines haha.
Fantastic video, thanks. I'm a huge fan of OFAH. I had no idea alot was filmed in Bristol. Always thought London was the main place. Really interesting, top work 👍
I have been to the shop in open all hours only thing didnt have camera on me shame was nobody about but I would of thought them places where in london did find it anyway watched all only fools too great show
Great video Ash. If you’re ever in London do check out the early series 1-5 locations in west London area, mostly in Acton & Ealing. These were before they moved to filming in Bristol from series 6 onwards, when the show got ginormous
44 yo kiwi here one of the best shows ever, always have one of the xmas specials playing in the background come xmas. this is awesome thanks for the video
Did you go to Stapleton Road.... In Dates a pub called the Coach and Horses (now demolished) was used as the Nags Head, the Car park scene after Del finds out that Raquel is a strippogram. The Bristol Flyer on Gloucester Road by Pig Sty Hill was used in the final scene as the Nags Head with Bristol North Swimming baths (next door to the Flyer) was used as the Police Station...... I've seen them filming it countless times as a citizen of Bristol
Great video, love OFAH! Watching your videos in chronological order (well apart from a few recent ones I've gone straight to) 😂 I've finally reached the video which was the first one I ever saw (this one!) on the only fools group on Facebook, I really love the videos! I remember commenting on Facebook post giving a few other locations to visit! It took me until your third only fools video to find out that you have this great channel! Love it mate! A margate location tour would be a good one too.. Also weston super mare has a few that I've see too! Me and my Fiancée went for a drink in the Chinese restaurant where Rodney and cassandra went in 'If they could see us now' episode and there is a photo of Nick and Gwneyth with the team there so if you and Jo are in Weston that's your place 👍🏻
OMG.Sence I was a child I dream about thing to go to Peckham and visit those two buildings.So hard to know that this is in Bristol.But anyway thanks for video stil want to visit UK.
Brill video but seriously could have gone up the road to totterdown where Rodney comes face to face with the mugger he was chasing. Was filmed by the shops in totterdown and the park where both del and Rodney were chasing the mugger is right by there.
You missed Boycies car showroom, just around the corner from Mandela House & Peckham market which is the car park between Ashton Gate - Bristol City ground - and Halfords.
I work in those tower blocks and actually worked on the flat they used for Del Boys flat talk to some of the residents the can tell you stories of when it was filmed there
Great video - I was at the flats and garages yesterday! Also check out Brunswick Square where Rodney takes Del to the dentist and then falls asleep in the van and the gerbil escapes!
@@FromTheAsh I visited it 👍 Not too sure how much longer it’ll be there? Looks empty now 😩 Not far from there Vimmal Malik hotel from cash & curry episode & the Mardi Gras inside shot from jolly boys Not done those yet, but will (the outside of the buildings of course) 👍 Great videos by the way love watching them
The memories I've got from only fools and horses, I grew up living with just my Mum but I remember my Dad visiting, as he did weekly, the same night that the bar fall episode was on TV for the first time, I'd be about 13, I just remember sitting with him on the settee watching and as the scene went on out of the corner of my eye I could see my Dad edging closer and closer to the edge of his seat, sensing that something was about to happen. and as Del fell through the bar my Dad fell off the settee, just sat on the floor on his hands and knees , couldn't get up for laughing, Also, I'm a wheelchair user, those Bristol cobbles would give my arse an 'aedache.....
Great video. Having grown up near Bristol I've always known the later series were filmed here but have only recently tried to visit the locations. Seems I have more to find. Cheers 👍
Great video, loved it and the part the really struck a chord was when you said you’d love to bring your parents. I was the same with mine, we all watched them together - it just shows what a truly great show it was that it was so loved by every generation!
Hi Iv just discovered your channel and just subscribed love these filming locations it’s great to see where these great scenes have been filmed and what they look like now. Love it keep it up 👌🏼👌🏼
Great video, OFAH always fab and it’s great to visit their locations, although you have missed a few locations.. I live in Bristol and have visited nearly all of them.. OFAH best ever.. 👍
@@FromTheAsh Whiteleadies Road, old Bp fuel station, Aston behind the flat u visited thy filmed Boyce garage.. Bedmister west street, where thy filmed Nags head.. Cabot circus, where thy filmed them dressed as B&R old C&A.. Totterdown, where thy filmed Rodney chasing the thieves.. Stapleton Road where thy filmed the pub again.. St John’s Lane where thy were running catch the thieve.. few others, where Rodney was speeding away from the gang was split fliming..

Why would you take that away from me?! You'll try telling me santa isn't real next

Awesome watches mate, took down all the locations and went to look for ourselves. So thank you for that!! Your leg work has helped us make some (and relive some) great memories 💯👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it - I did 4 videos in Bristol looking at OFAH locations, so be sure to check them all out!
@@FromTheAsh superb! Cant wait for the To Hull and Back and Miami Twice episodes! 😉👀
Hull maybe, but Miami might be tricky...unless you're paying?
I love OFAH as well, with a passion and I'd love to go to Bristol to check out these places. I've never been to Bristol before. Hello, from Suffolk
You should! Glad you enjoyed!
I think that the house that Rick & co lived in,in the Young ones was in Bristol ???
Haven't seen that show but have heard a number of people say it was Bristol.
You were down Welsh Back but is not The Glass Bottom Boat not there anymore? Rodney had a date with Cassandra on it! I am an ex-Bristol resident!
I’ll try and locate this for part 4!
OFAH is the greatest show of all time 🤘🤘🤘
Those 1996 Christmas specials really were special and it's lovely to see these places a relive those golden moments. I love looking up all the old filming locations, I'll to visit a few some day as I live in London.
Love it - enjoy.
I'd love to go to Bristol and find the locations. Never been to Bristol before. My ex introduced me to OFAH and other sitcoms and I love it
Do it - part three coming soon!
Bristol is a wonderful City, I've been to these places, Bristol is my second home
I’d be keen to go.
well bugger me dead i watched originals with parents way back in the 80s,they were like my other family growing up with them, always reminds me of me mum now watching them on dvd, she used to shout me down from me bedroom to watch it, but i never knew it was filmed in bristol thank you
just subscribed amazing video fair play, am from ireland hopefully will get over sometime to some off the places
Thank you for watching!
I prefer the original building they used for Nelson mandela house the one in Acton bowmaris tower or Harlech tower
I don't know, was pretty cool to visit this one.
Ive tried to explain how good ofah is to generation z. They dont seem interested. Weird.
Such a shame - they don’t make them like this any more!
That’s probably because BBC comedy were in Bristol.
Ah really? Makes sense then.
I live in the flats opposite whitemead and there more locations around here nags head pub , boycie car yard ( but it down for destruction soon) and stadium car park was the market place. Plus I got a garage too 4 down from Del Boys .
I shall have to do a part two!
@@FromTheAsh Please do! I shall be looking out for it!! Love these types of videos, thank you for the upload!
AWSOME MATE PLEASE TELL ME THE POSTCODE FOR THE FLATS LOCATION BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED ⌚️
Not sure of the postcode - I named the flats in the video, so just tap that into Google Maps and you should be good to go.
Great video. I live in the block of flats that the show was filmed in and we do get reguler fans visit as well as tours on the weekend. Wonderful show that I can watch again and again. Great to see the fandom still going strong and I hope that will always be the case.
One of those shows that never gets old! Thanks for watching!

Miss that show. Nothing comes near it. Nostalgic with my younger years
Totally agree!
I've been to two locations in Bristol.
In 'Fatal Extraction', when Del and Rodney emerge from the casino and are standing in the doorway. Me and my brother had a photo in that same doorway.
The place in 'Heroes and Villains' where the van breaks down. Nowadays, it's right next to Cabot Circus.
Got those, both in one of my videos somewhere! But there are loads more!
Cheers dave
No worries Trig.
I grew up watching it (as a child) from the mid 80s. I'm showing my age now lol
Brilliant!
Just watched all 3 videos! as being from Bristol this is so great to watch! Thank you :)
Thank you Daniel, so glad you enjoyed it!
I notice how you said you needed to jump back in your car before you got a parking ticket... did you not have your 'Midwife On Emergency Call' sticker on your windscreen?

And Chapel street market opposite the Angel Tube, all early episodes filmed there.
44 yo kiwi here one of the best shows ever, always have one of the xmas specials playing in the background come xmas. this is awesome thanks for the video
Merry Christmas, glad you enjoyed the video!
n 1996, I worked in Annabelle's Casino near St Mary Redcliffe. Apparently, they shot the casino scenes in there.
Amazing!
Did you go to Stapleton Road.... In Dates a pub called the Coach and Horses (now demolished) was used as the Nags Head, the Car park scene after Del finds out that Raquel is a strippogram.

Brilliant research
8:44 COYR’s 🔴

You missed Boycies car showroom, just around the corner from Mandela House & Peckham market which is the car park between Ashton Gate - Bristol City ground - and Halfords.
No I didn’t - got it in part two! Here it is, hope you enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/UAa1X5ruiCA/v-deo.html
Unfortunately Sids cafe is closed now, use to be a real posh place and it’s actually only a 15 minute walk from the flat
Heard this the other day. Sad.
The only thing I hate about Bristol is the people who live there have the most annoying accent ever *"Let's go out for a parEEE"*
I have a soft spot for the accent - not a million miles away from the Devonian accent I grew up surrounded by!
Mate. This was aweosme watch!! I’m
A big OFAH fan. And live in Bristol
But never done my research on the locations. This has made my day!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Class upload hi from Newcastle
Hey! Thanks for watching!
You missed Boyce’s car sales. It’s round the corner from the flats in Marsh Lane.
Check out part two - got it there 👍
He wears his glasses one day and forgets them the next....very comical......
He literally had them on the whole video...
Excellent and very informative - hoping to visit from Ireland soon to see the sights of the greatest sitcom ever made. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
That was so cool I am a big fan of the show and never knew some of it was filmed in Bristol, Very, very cool.
Thank you! Check out parts 2 and 3 while you're here, more coming soon too so don't forget to subscribe!
I work in those tower blocks and actually worked on the flat they used for Del Boys flat talk to some of the residents the can tell you stories of when it was filmed there
How interesting. So good that people still chat about the show now - it's one of a kind for sure!
There was another seen filmed just down Rd was Bristol at Weston super Mare
I know - hoping to get there this year!
They should do a tour. You're right Only Fools and Horses is the best sitcom ever!!
They should. If I lived in Bristol I'd do this, but sadly I don't.
Great video mate. I was very surprise when I learnt that one of my favourite comedies was filmed in my hometown.

I lived in Bristol and never visited these locations. I lived in fishponds during my uni days lol
Ah, near Ikea!
I’m having a look around Ealing soon
Some locations there too
I’ve found the ‘restaurant’ where Arnie has his ‘heart attack’ 👍😂

Not too sure how much longer it’ll be there? Looks empty now 😩
Not far from there Vimmal Malik hotel from cash & curry episode & the Mardi Gras inside shot from jolly boys
