    This is what made OFAH a classic. Each episode (funny as they were) employed really twist endings. There always a sting which elevated a good comedy into a great TV show. I can’t think of another sitcom which did this, though I’m happy to be educated. Anyway, great video, Miss Megan. Stay classy and, above all, be cool…

    This series was always great, but the best episodes were the early ones with Grandad, he was hilarious. I spent my early childhood in London in the sixties, and his character is just so authentic; we had neighbours on our or street just like him.

    Found this online. I hope it answers your question Megan. X. "The phrase "Gordon Bennett" is an English idiom used to express surprise, contempt, outrage, disgust, frustration, or exasperation. It's often used as a substitute for a swear word.

    The phrase may have originated from James Gordon Bennett, a 19th-century US newspaper magnate and sponsor of balloon races. Bennett was known for his extravagant lifestyle and for causing consternation and surprise. Some say the phrase originated from his habit of pulling tablecloths from all the tables in a restaurant, splattering astonished diners. Others say it's a euphemistic substitution for "gorblimey", a phonetic rendering of a colloquial or regional pronunciation of "God blind me".

    The genders are very different in that regard. Millions of men spend a fortune wining & dining women at upmarket restaurants, showering them with expensive gifts, taking them to the Maldives, Bahamas etc. The number of women doing so for men is minuscule in comparison. Most women have never bought a drink for a male stranger or asked a man on a date.

    I see Rodney's use of the phrase "my son" as his attempt to ape the mannerisms of his big brother, further illustrated by him copying Del shortly afterward in his disastrous attempt to chat up the woman in the cafe by slapping her bottom.

      And the very best comedies have to ability to switch to a moment of poignancy at just the right time, without sacrificing the laughs. Only Fools And Horses has that too.

    • @rnw2739
      @rnw2739 2 місяці тому

      He really wasn't. The amount of material, plots and jokes Sullivan nicked from 'Steptoe and Son' is blatant.
      John Sullivan himself admitted this as Steptoe was his favourite comedy and said he never foresaw the arrival of home entertainment systems, thinking those Steptoe episodes wouldn't be seen again.
      He stole two plot points from the first movie 'Steptoe and Son' (1972) alone - In that, Harold goes out with and marries a stripper (Racquel) and then later, a baby is left in Hercules' stable which they believe to be Jesus - Sullivan flipped it to Satan with Rodney and Damien.
      The Steptoe episode 'Full House' is the biggest example. Watch that then watch the OFAH episode 'A Losing Streak' and you'll realise the word you need to describe Sullivan is 'plagiarist'.

      @@rnw2739 that's two very tenuous examples out of maybe 60 odd episodes of ofah and let's be honest I'd say steptoe was an inspiration and no way can anyone accuse JS of outright plagiarism, many shows are inspired by earlier shows, for example the league of gentlemen's job centre skit being "influenced" by little britain's "fat fighters", anyway let's leave it at that, life is way, way too short to engage in futile arguments online, hope you're happy, safe and healthy ✌️

    Hi Megan. At the 02:02 mark, Del mentions that he got a prime spot in the Arndale Centre. That must mean then that "TIT" ("Trotters Independent Traders") have been broadening their customer reach, as the Arndale Centre is in my neck of the woods, Manchester. You ever been to Manchester Megan ? I think you would adore it here.

      Regarding the slap if you remember this time in the early 80's it was common for a man to softly slap a woman's bottom or put his arms around her. It was the normal thing & was socially acceptable of course today a man carnt pay a simple compliment with paying the consequences

    Just want to give you a reality check about something. This was set in the early 80's so to softly slap a girl was acceptable woman welcomed it believe me & there were no consequences. It was the normal thing to do of course today a man carnt even look at a girl & pay a simple compliment without getting into trouble.

      I thought this episode made it blatantly clear that slapping a woman's behind was unacceptable, and this episode was *made* in the 80s. Miranda only put up with it because she had an agenda, and voiced her displeasure with the action at the end of the episode, and Rodney received instant feedback when he tried the same thing.
