My dad called me Dave and most of my friends Dave for years my names Joel , he was obviously doing a Trig it used to confuse people in the pub when he would introduce me to them 😂 . Rip Dad & you to Trig.
I just want to tell this story. I worked with roger lloyd pack in 1998, on a kids tv show called knight school. It was a medievil comedy show about teaching boys how to be knights. He played a magician and i played frankenstien. We spoke alot about football and both wanted to watch the opening match of the world cup that year, Brazil vs scotland. So we arranged to watch the match in room backstage. We sat together the whole time in full costume and makeup. It was just me and him, and, as i was, like most, such a big only fools fan, and as a young actor at the time, i was 18 years old, i couldnt believe how brilliant and lucky i was go have such a unique experience. It truly was one of the highlights of my career. I always think of it when i see a clip of him and smile to myself. A Lovely well spoken and very intelligent man. A great great actor.
What a nice memory you have of him. When I'm a little down il always come bck to ofah, as my eldest brother got th whole family into it. It brought smiles and great gatherings and laughs to all of us. He loved del boys character...and I know for sure he also had a soft spot for trigger because he would always repeat his lines. Dam I miss them good days and I miss my brother!
what did you ask him about the show - or anything at all? He said Trigger was a blessing and a curse. Obviously such a great character, but people always shouting Dave to him
@@DavidL1986 we didnt speak much about the show, he did tell me how he found out gary mabbut, who was a spurs player, was a massive only fools fan. Roger was a massive spurs fan, so he got in touch with him and got him tickets for the live audience scenes of only fools, and mabbut gave roger free tickets for all spurs home games!! The perks of fame hey?!
I’m from Brazil and there’s a limite on what I can understand, but with subtitles nowadays I can firmly say that’s the best comedy series of all time by miles!!! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 and thank you 🙏
@@eldante4139 As a massive fan of Rowan Atkinson, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry and Hugh Lorrie; I can honestly say... back adder is crap! It's just public school silliness , which is funny for a while, but gets old very quickly. Red dwarf 1-6 is quality stuff though.
@@mattjames4978 I really enjoy it but everyone likes different comedies. I can understand why you might not enjoy it but it has always been one of my favourites. Series 1-6 of Red Dwarf are the best so I agree with that.
I’ll never forget the time I walked into a pub one night and it was like walking into somebody’s living room. One of, maybe thee, last episode was playing on the tv and the whole place was just sat there watching. Was bizarre but spoke volumes about how loved this programme was!
Rest in peace Roger Lloyd Pack as Trigger in only fools and horses your comic timing and deadpan delivery of your humour was absolutely brilliant thanks for the laughs
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, who wrote Porridge, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads AND Lovejoy? Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who wrote Hancock's Half Hour and then created Steptoe and Son? Sullivan was great, but to say he was "way ahead of anyone else" is doing a big disservice to some great writers.
@neilinely we should mourn these fantastic writers, all of them. As far as I'm aware, nowadays there are no equals. We lived in the heyday when they used their skills to provide social commentary and at the same time make us laugh at ourselves.
0:55 "environmental hygienist" Reminds me of someone I know. When people ask him what he does for a living, he says he's an "executive hygiene control officer". He works at the local bus station cleaning toilets.
That sort of thing is rife on LinkedIn - you "handle cumulative high value monetary transactions for a multibillion revenue global catering corporation" i.e. you push buttons on the till at McDonald's. I once heard of a British supermarket wanting "Stock replenishment operatives" i.e. stacking shelves.
@@bwebb90 what's pathetic is people (like you) who seem to think that changing a name has any impact on reality. Cleaning toilets is miserable work, whatever label you put on the people who have to do it.
The fact that Trigger actually _waited_ until Rodney parked the 3-wheeled-van and got out only to tell him that he can’t park there, is in itself … hilarious.
One of my fav triggers line in peckham spring at the dump, "thought you said this was open 24/7 trig, " yeah but not at night " and the toast to Cassandra and Rodney where you hear "Dave" in the background
As a brit I can say this is one of the top three best ever favourite TV shows for comedy even younger generations appreciate and laugh at this show...brilliant uk comedy gold 👍
Absolute classic. They don’t make comedies like this anymore. Trigger is so doozie but is it just me or would anyone else love to have a friend like that 😂😂, my favourite moment of his is we’re he walked into the mind your head sign at school and uncle Albert says how did you manage that didn’t you see it and trigger says yes but in those days a couldn’t read 😂😂😂 absolutely amazing like!!! Only fools and horses was and still is one of its kind and the death of a few of its actors is really sad but they left there mark on all of us 💯💯💯👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Still funny after all these years good comedy NEVER gets stale , i could watch these comedy duo all day,, so funny , as someone else said rip Rodger,, gone but never forgotten,, and your a comedy genius with your timing with del and roddy.
Trigger was such a small part in the scheme of only fools but so memorable, even when he didn't have a line to say like when Del fell through the bar it was the reaction of trigger that got the laugh... Brilliantly played by R.L.P.. I👍
Absolutely. When Del went through the bar, it was a fantastic joke, however the bit that made it special was Triggers reaction after he did the full 360 degree turn that put the icing on a pitch perfect moment. Comedy gold
Only Fools n Horses undoubtedly the best comedy/drama ever until this day ... they don't write/produce shows like this any more. Have every episode n movie on hdd ... luv it
I once went for dinner with Roger Lloyd-Pack. He was a great guy and a brilliant actor. Nothing like this character obviously. He went to a posh private school and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
This is absolutely comedy genius & gold - I still watch it now. A lot of people nowadays would find some of this show offensive & get butt hurt watching it. For me it’s one of the best 👍🏻 if not the best
Yup. I've got the big box set on dvd and the Blu-ray set they released a little while ago. The Blu-ray set is amazing. I won't watch it on Gold or on BBC at all. Because it's edited and butchered to hell.
Back in the early '80s I went to my company's local tool store to get a small box of screws. At the counter I asked the Trig-like gentleman for said box of screws. He advised me I couldn't have a small box of screws. "Why not?", I asked. "Because we only have one pack in stock", he replied. "Well I take that one then", says I. "No, you can't have it." "Why not?", I ask, somewhat puzzled. "In case someone needs them." A few seconds pass as I try to digest this logic. "But *I* need them", I say....but I can see this point is not landing with him. After seeking further clarification he finally, very reluctantly, allowed me to take just 12 screws (and no more), so I could complete the job I was in the middle of at that time. He would not give me any more screws for my following job later that afternoon. To this day whenever I see Trig on the screen I think of this guy 😅😅
Sure don't make comedy like this anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣 R I P John Sullivan,Roger Lloyd Pack ,Ken Macdonald ,Roy Heather ,Lennard Pearce ,Buster Merryfield and John Challis who made OFAH a success ❤️
Honestly, I wish they done a special to dedicate the passing of the guy who played Trigger, him, the Pub guy and Boycie too, but all we can do is imagine, but would love to see them come back for a reunion, we'll what's left so far before they all go as well, so yeah
Trig only usually had a few lines in each episode, but they were expertly crafted and delivered. Always loved the ongoing "Dave"banter.
RIP trig.
The one time ge got his name right was when Rodney didn't want him to 😆 when he volunteered him
They were usually the best lines though
A stellar running gag.
British Brainwashing Company's favourite indoctrination method sure is comical...

They aren't allowed to make comedies with humour in, because the Twatter brigade takes all jokes at face value, as validation of facts.
This scene isn't that old lmao
Yeah and neither do you pal. Make one yourself if you're so desperate for it.

It will never lose its ability to make people laugh great script great actors
It's a tribute to Roger Lloyd Pack that it was always funny when he called Rodney 'Dave'. Even after the 1000th time.
Sure
@@bensmith1689 i thought , your was Dave
Timeless.
I love how Trigger took it upon himself to help Rodney (Dave) park that whole time just to drop that "can't park there Dave" 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, almost like it was in the script eh?
that's the whole idea-great actor Triger
Trig, my favourite actor and sadly missed.
The classic “you can’t park there sir” 😂

Never noticed until now how subtle that performance is. Very easy to over act and lose all the comedy in it.
John Sullivan is the greatest comedy writer ever. Way ahead of anybody else. The cast each and everyone are true legends. God bless them all.

Well done for explaining the point of the video
@@swanningabout You are so welcome. Any further questions, please feel free to ask. x
Same brush for 20 years dave. 5 new handles and 8 new brush heads. Great script writing in F&H
It's actually had 17 new heads and 14 new handles.

Never gets old! This is the best thing there has and will ever be on TV. Trigger is amazing, Dave too!
RIP Roger. You were and still are a legend.
This show was chock full of excellent actors and scenes kudos to all involved.... a jewel in the crown of British TV
But like all good shows, it went on for too long.
John Sullivan tried to end it but the public wanted it back
What with Global warming and Al Pacino 🤣
Roger Lloyd Pack had brilliant comic timing he was a great actor.R.I.P and thanks for the brilliant laughs x

two pints on a worktime break, those were certainly different times
@DM-ur8vc no more working class neighborhoods
Oh yeh ha ha we all should drink in our breaks ha ha (tit)
One of the best comedies to ever be produced.
Looking back Roger got some of the best lines in the whole series
It was because of him, that I watched the show.
‘Oi! Who’s running this firm now?!’
‘Oh, it’s got you puzzled as well has it eh?’
😂😂😂
Trigger what an awesome character
I never get bored of this show best comedy ever
Love how Del knew he could just admit to trying to bribe Trig and he’d go along with it rather than see it badly. 😂
Everybody needs to watch out for Al Pacino...😂
What makes this Brilliant is it is so close to real life! Nothing today comes near it.
Got to be one of my fave clips!!! Not often shown or seen as often as it deserves strangely!!!
The way Del says what icy conditions cracks me up everytime 🤣
Still funny after all these years good comedy NEVER gets stale , i could watch these comedy duo all day,, so funny , as someone else said rip Rodger,, gone but never forgotten,, and your a comedy genius with your timing with del and roddy.
RIP Trig he was a good bloke irl, I met him 1 football day in the pub I worked at😢
My all time favourite sitcom thanks to all for the memories rip lost characters
made me laugh as a kid, still makes me laugh at nearly 50
Don't forget Del falling through the bar and Batman and Robin clips, too 🤣
@@TonyEnglandUK i was in absolute stitches at the Batman and Robin scenes, at my gran's house in Cross Heath 🙂
Comedy at its best. We don't see this anymore.Thank goodness we have the technology to bring these back to see. again.

They reverse vasectomies quicker than this ! Im still laughing at that as i type 😂😂
Best casting in sitcom history.
trig is just unbeaten he's too funny on how he plays his role
He backed him in then told him he can’t park there lol
Best man for the role bless him

BRILLIANT ........
“If you don’t get it in this time, I’m gonna back it in meself!”
That’s what she said!
Only fools & horses is truly the best of british comedy
Best comedy ever
I'll always cherish the days when I used to see RLP on the streets of W. Hampstead. RIP
Trigger, an all time great. Miss that man 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love this show
Man used the same brush for nigh on 30 years. Immaculate.
The white runners and white washed jeans always get me 🤣🤣
He's got that brush in his hand the one he's had for 20 years
What a waste of time! All that effort to park the van and then get told "you can't park there". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Typical true to life highly skilled council operative . Watch you do it then tell you afterwards. Quality
I bloody miss these days.
It's a nostalgic video 😭
OFAH was the best writing, characters, actors etc etc
Shame it ended
They could do a re-boot
10/10
I miss these days. So sad that they’ll never be able to recreate such characters
Sure don't make comedy like this anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣 R I P John Sullivan,Roger Lloyd Pack ,Ken Macdonald ,Roy Heather ,Lennard Pearce ,Buster Merryfield and John Challis who made OFAH a success ❤️
brilliant comedy, wish they would make a blu-ray or even better 4k complete series.
Magic.
An Amazing classic show!
'Al Pacino'.. I'm DEAD! 🤣
Such a classic series!
English comedy is the best. Blinding!
Honestly, I wish they done a special to dedicate the passing of the guy who played Trigger, him, the Pub guy and Boycie too, but all we can do is imagine, but would love to see them come back for a reunion, we'll what's left so far before they all go as well, so yeah
Sure Trig, Boycie Grandad, Albert and Mike are up there in heaven having a drink right now.
