The best thing is that this is both hilarious and heartfelt at the same time. It reaches to both extremes and yet balances it beautifully.
Great writing always
Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
This is the Gospel which means the Good News.
Isaiah 45:22-23 KJV
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. [23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
John 1:1-3,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
Isaiah 44:6 KJV
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Revelation 1:17-18 KJV
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
John 20:27-29 KJV
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Best sitcom ever written!

That was the amazing acting
Yes very good, my favourite was the card game, when Del boy said to Boycie, " I knew you was cheating, cos they was not the cards I dealt you"
John Doyle 😂😂😂
I love the chandelier one 😂
"Where did you get them aces from Dell?" Same place you got them kings"
Haha! Brilliant
Do one!
Season 2 I have it on DVD.
I really love this episode and the way the storyline is contructed around that final line. Jim Broadbent was fantastic as Slater.
Aren't the BBC fantastic, in the 80s we paid for Only Fools and Horses with our TV licence, every single one of Only Fools and Horses was paid for by the TV licence fee and now they want to charge us again for watching it, more thick for the people of paying their TV licence and paying for this series for something we've already paid for,
Believe it or not Jim Broadbent was originally offered the part of Del Boy, but he had to turn it down as he was doing a West End show at the time.
Amazing to think Jim Broadbent was originally going to be cast as del boy. Yet when you watch scenes like this. You realise how perfect he played the part of Slater 👍
Did you REALLY have to zoom out during the punchline?
The only reason I disliked it
The zooming out ruined it ☹️
stops people pirating it..
@@cunningflop why do you need to pirate it if it's on UA-cam
@@cunningflop Do you think piracy works by ripping 3 minute clips off youtube? You've been able to download the entire show online for decades.
Beautiful! He really could talk his way out of a room with no doors👏
Slater looked like he had a moment in his trousers when Del said "lets get down to business" 😆
Slaters face priceless 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I think slater was a great character and the actor who played the part made you hate him from the first time you meet him
@@tommillard4193 It was brilliant when Slater was reading the discription of the suspect that grandad, del and rodney made up...according to you and your family we are looking for a six foot seven inch dwarf, aged between 15 and 50, white male with oriental features who's as black as Newgates Knocker. Oh yeah and he wears a Deaf aid hahahaha xD
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- yeah me and my dad always laugh at that every time even though we've watched it a million times
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- A cross between Tom Thumb and the Jolly Green Giant.
One of those episodes that has your heart racing even if you know what's coming.
It's a good punch line but also shows how smart Del is
I love this punchline mainly because pretty much the whole episode builds up to it
I always love the way Del Boy outsmarts everyone in the end!
Del boy may not be academic clever like Rodney is but he's got brilliant street smarts. Slater thought everyone was just as snide and backstabbing like he was so he didn't see it coming when Del asked for immunity from prosecutiom and then named himself as the thief and the irony is Slater said in this episode that Del boy could talk his way out of a room with no doors he should've known Del had something up his sleeve when he agreed to grass
It's like the lady with the painting as well
@@SuperMase9X Yeah I remember that Del revealed the painting was knicked in the end which I thought was ironic because she and her family would have to deal with the fallout
Slater's face when he says 'I did' 😁😁😁😁
Jim broadbent was initially first choice to play delboy. Thank god david Jason got the part.
True that. And since 1976 every one knew
Yeah, and Jason first audition for the role of grandpa.
@@d.k.9511 really
captainroger 1976 I don't think so
I honestly couldn't picture Jim playing Del. That would've been a poor casting choice. Though he was perfect for playing Slater at least.
Genius ending😂 this show was pure class comedy is not the same anymore
John Sullivan was a genius. R.I.P
I was born in '92 and grew up with only fools. Had it all on VHS lol lucky to have the original broadcast of the movie without that laughter track.
You'll never see comedy like this again any time soon.
I was born in 91, and used to watch only fools with my dad all the time, TV programmes like this are once in a generation
‘93 here, same!
Wouldn't surprise me if every other copper at the station bought Del a pint after that.
Even the coppers like Del boy remember the riot scene in Fatal Exraction when Del drives into the estaste beeps his horn the coppers stop the riot and they part like the red sea for Del to drive through? That always cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Detective Slater was hated, by the police, and the villains. He was the most guy in the parish. He even had his own dad arrested, for a faulty rear bike light.
This was a genius ending. So impressed first time I saw this!
one of the best endings of only fools
You can't beat only fools and horses absolutely brilliant how they came up with this
Or, to put it another way, Del Boy outwits Slater.
Tucked him up good and proper!
@@paulpurves828 and I daresay Slater's bosses were less than impressed Slater got Del immunity from prosecution. He really should have known better especially when he described Del as man "who could talk his way out of room with no doors!" 😂😂
Only Fools and Horses was NEVER simply a comedy.
It was so much more than that.
MUCH more.
The best TV programme to ever grace our tvs, watching this as a kid has led to me watching repeats on UA-cam all the time😂
Fantastic writing by John Sullivan... what a genius!!
One of the best ever scenes in Only Fools and Horses. A classic.
"I DID!" Beautiful writing!
Similar to A Losing Streak, when Del beats Boycie at the poker game with his four aces. Del Boy always outwit and beat his rivals.
It was genius the way entire episodes built up to a major punchline like this at the end. This wasn't the best but still very clever. Probably my favourite was the one with the singing dustman who Del books for a gig alongside Raquel to sing in a club and... I won't ruin it but if you haven't seen it please do!
@@quantumhelix8668 the amazing thing is, is was all written by John Sullivan
@@Lredfloss1 gween gween gwass lol
@@jay71512 Followed by a melody of wock and woll.
Not funny Wodney.....Rodney!
@@jay71512 now im cwying with laughter ;)
Yeah, I was cwying the whole scene.
What made this series amazing, among other thing, is the fact that John Sullivan based most of scripts on real life things that happened either to him or the people he knew personally. He changed some things, names and facts to accomodate for comedy series, of course, but most of the scripts were based on real life events or people Sullivan had known personally. Season 1 Cash and Curry was one of few known exceptions as Sullivan simply came up with the title and then made the plot around the title. Other notable exception was The Miracle of Peckham, which was based on a line spoken by Grandad in previous episode Second Time Around.
Known examples of episodes being based on real people or events from John Sullivan's private or professional life are:
A Slow Bus to Chingford - he got the idea for the script from his father's favourite pub called "The Duke of Devonshire". The man who ran it was even called "Boycie". The place suffered from terrible business, but the owner explained it was "Ethnic English", thus the idea was implanted in Sullivan's mind.
Russians are Coming - The idea for the script was based on a true story which John Sullivan was reading about, which involved a group of people who did as the script suggested: purchased lead and built an air-raid shelter.
The Long Legs of the Law - The idea for the script was based on John Sullivan's niece, who worked as a policewoman.
A Losing Streak - The idea for the script was based on John Sullivan's father's gambling sessions.
A Touch of Glass - John Sullivan's father was the inspiration for the smashed chandelier storyline. Working as a plumber in the 1930s, he and several others were fitting a new heating system into a stately home, and had to move some chandeliers. As with the Trotters, there was a mix up and the wrong one was undone and smashed.
Yesterday Never Comes - The idea for the script was based on John Sullivan's mother, who was a cleaner at an art gallery.
Wanted - The idea for the script was based on a true story that happened to a friend of John Sullivan. Even the name of the woman in real life was Blossom.
Hole in One - The idea for the script was based on a true story. John Sullivan's grandfather was a coal-man named Dickie, who claimed compensation by falling down holes.
Sleeping Dogs Lie - The idea for the script was purely based on a gag someone told John Sullivan.
As One Door Closes - The idea for the script was based on a true story of a rare butterfly that John Sullivan had read about.
The Longest Night - The idea for the script was based on a true story that John Sullivan had read about a small-time criminal who went into a supermarket and pulled off a scam with the security manager and the store manager.
Video Nasty - The idea for the script was based on a true story about a youth club that was given a grant from the local council to do filming, but all the equipment and money shortly disappeared.
Yuppy Love - This episode is best remembered for Del Boy falling through an open bar flap. The scene derived from John Sullivan watching a man do the exact same thing in a wine bar, except he grabbed onto the fixed part of the bar so he didn't fall right over. Sullivan thought it funny for the man's body language, trying to recover his cool.
Little Problems - John Sullivan's idea for the script came from a drink with David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst one evening, and the idea grew into this episode.
The Jolly Boys' Outing - John Sullivan's sister-in-law Penny was the inspiration behind the script, as she told him of an event her father used to go on each year, called "The Jolly Boys Outing".
The Sky's the Limit - The idea for the script was based on John Sullivan's holiday to Portugal, and discovering that he wasn't booked on the plane.
Stage Fright - Tony Angelino was based on a real singer with serious speech problems whom John Sullivan knew personally.
The Class of '62 - The idea for the script was based on a reunion that John Sullivan had with his football team.
Three Man, a Woman, and a Baby - All of the words spoken by Raquel to Del during the delivery of the baby were the exact words John Sullivan's wife spoke to him during the real life birth of their child.
Mother Nature's Son - The idea for the script was based on a real incident where people had their water supply closed as something had been dumped in a nearby reservoir.
Fatal Extraction - The riots featured throughout the episode were based on real life riots that were happening close to John Sullivan's house at the time.
Thanks for that it was a good read.
I enjoyed reading this.
What an ending 😂😂 remember watching as a kid & well believing these two were old buddies. Great acting 💯💯
It is so crazy now to think that David Jason was never meant to play Del originally.
It is well known fact that the role of Del was originally written for Jim Broadbent, who went on to play Slater.
Second choice was Billy Murray, best known many years later for his role Johnny Allen in EastEnders. It was only after Murray declined the role, that they went with Jason, who was still working on Open All Hours at the time.
Another interesting trivia is that when John Sullivan went to see Murray in a play and talk to him about playing Del, he bumped into then completely unknown actor Roger Lloyd Pack, who was in the same play with Murray. Lloyd Pack impressed Sullivan so much that he created previously not existing character of Trigger into the series, specifically written for Lloyd Pack.
This messed with Slater's head so much that not long after, he told Tom Riddle about horcruxes.
That ending was comedy gold
Has to be the PokerFace scene and this one for quality acting. Proper done well so they are. Brilliance 👌
This took Genius to a whole new level
Slater disliked this video
And made another 154 accounts to dislike it more
Slater is the system personified
tears and joy Del and the gang always bring..
Brilliant! 😂😂 love good old trotters
One of the best scenes in OF&H ever!
one of the best gags
Imagine if Broadbent played him like the cop he'd portray in Hot Fuzz, rewards him with cake if he tells him who stole the microwave 😂
Slater: Do you like ice cream Del?
Del: What d'ya mean Slater?
Slater: Tell me who half inched the microwave and you wont be short on Chunky Monkey.
Slater had it coming well done Del
I loved this scene
This whole scene is just genius
David Jason is brilliant as Del. Broadbent was considered to play him. Interesting to see how that would go. Great show
Grandads my favourite
The best British sitcom ever.
Jim Broadbent is only 34 here, crikey he looks 47!
Professor slughorn being the weasel that he has always been 🤣
The headline is Del outsmarts Slater. It should read John Sullivan outsmarts us all.
This clip and the card game (2 pair of aces) have to rank as two of the best comedy scenes ever!. He might not have any 'sales' nous, but! Like the copper said, he could talk his way out of a room with no doors and did so!. 🤣 Bril, Nuff said.
Best two comedies. Cheers from the USA. Fools and Horses from England. Both had heart, almost no bad episodes, and even similar how they changed half way through with a cast member (Buster Merryfield and Kirstie Alley).
Good one Del!
Lol outsmarted him
Grandad - “look son you done so much boot licking you will come down with cherry blossom poisoning”
Slater - “Put them in separate cells and no conferring”
Grandad - “what next are they gonna give us a starter for 10”
Two best lines in the whole episode

I LOVE Only fools and horses
😂😂😂
Man this was a good humor...
Unfortunately I don't see this quality nowadays...
Im from South Africa but my family is from the UK and every time we would go visit one of the things i always wanted was the latest Only fools and Horses Box set,even watched this in bars in the jungle in Thailand and Laos its a worldwide hit.
Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent.
I've watched some amazing comedies in my 45 years of being alive and growing up in England. In my opinion us Brits do the very best comedy. But over time I've come to appreciate American comedies such a Cheers, Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, Rosanne and the very very good Frazier.
My British favourites are Porridge, Open all hours, Some Mothers do Have Em, the Blackadder series, Bottom to name but a few. But, the greatest of them all is this "Only Fools & Horses."
The script writing was first class. The characters so relatable. The comedy timing unmatched. I've never had a comedy that made me cry with sadness in one scene then in the next had me crying with laughter. The scene where Del Boy was left holding the Groom piece from Rodney and Casandra's wedding cake in the Nags Head function room, after Rodney had left for his honeymoon. The music playing was " Holding back the Years" by Simply Red, I had a lump in my throat. Then, in the next scene you have del and uncle Albert in the flat, Rodney comes in from work, he settles down in to a chair and looks like he's all set for a night in. Del Boy then points out to him "Rodney.....you don't live here anymore"........Rodney in a panic racing out the door to his marital home and the inevitable line from Del.....
"What a plonka!"
The episode when Del became a father was both emotional and funny. The scene where delm was battered an bruised after taking a beating from the Driscoll brothers so he could keep owed money to give as a wedding gift to Rodney, again, emotional sadness and had moments of laughter!
In my opinion I think John Sullivan should have left the series closed at the trotters becoming millionaires. It seemed right after all the episodes of del boy saying that they'd be millionaires this time next year, to go out on a high.
I found that the episodes afterwards were not as good as what came before. Yes, there were a couple that were ok but they just didn't make the grade. I guess John Sullivan caved in to pressure and calls from fans to bring the series back.
But, apart from my opinion on the very final episodes, I regard it has the number 1 comedy in the world, ever!
There's only ONE Del Boy!!
That one did make me smile.
RIP Leonard Pearce
imagine if they cast jim broadbent as superintendent mullet in touch of frost.
he is that in Hot fuzz, an all
To think PC Hoskins takes down Slater in To Hull and Back.
That's fucking quality 😂😂😂😂
Perfection.. Love u🇭🇷👏
Room with no doors? I'd climb out the window!
This was better then the poker scene
He's played a cop in only fools and horses and played a cop in hot fuzz that is pretty funny
Most of the time they zoom in for a punch line
You can call me Mr. Slater, Detective inspector Slater, or just sir!
One of my favourite scenes from Only Fools & Horses: BTW - the guy who played Chief Inspector Slater here was originally offered the part of Del Boy but he turned it down as he was in a West End show at the time.
And Del outsmarted Slater again on the Class Of 62 with the faulty fax photocopiers
Yh that was brilliant
And (to an extent) To Hull And Back
@Jtmissile I love how his colleague stitched him up by recording him talking in the car when he fleeced those diamonds.
Did anyone else notice that Jim Broadbent had signed his real name on the paperwork?
And To think Jim Broadbent was originally going to play Del Boy. Can't imagine anyone else other than David Jason playing del. 👍
Jim broadbent brilliant actor
Pure class even after all these years.. Leonard pierce who played Grandad died in 1984.
HELLO ROY!!!
I can picture the scene where Rodney says "He was bo bigger than a Dwarfff"if u know u know😂😂
This is a nice advert for BRITBOX!! 😐
Apparently Jim Broadbent who played the detective was originally to play Del Boy
All that over a microwave lol
Brilliant
I miss this comedy 😪
Slater was a nasty piece of work. I wonder If anyone has tried that in real life? It was quite hilarious the way Del Boy tricked Slater. And the expression on Slater's face was priceless.
The police aren't stupid. You only get immunity if you wasn't involved or played a smaller part. You can not sign an immunity from prosecution if you are the only person involved.
Wrong. Bertie Smalls got away with a tonne of crimes for being a grass.
Class
Creased 🤣
Jimmy carr when he is older mr slater😊
The policeman at the beginning sounds like the soldier in It Aint Half Hot Mum who is thought to be the BSM's son.
He was another great British series
So was the actor who played Mike the landlord of the nags head
Yes
It would interesting to know how realistic an actual police officer would think this ending was, if it is actually plausible what Del does.
If only another remake would be a smile all over the world would be so much good
If only you could punctuate, that would be "so much good" too.
No, just leave us with the memories of what a great comedy it was. A lot of the cast have passed on now anyway. Wouldn't be the same without Boycie, Trigger and Mike the landlord of the Nags Head.
That’s professor slughorn isn’t it?
Yes
God rest John Sullivan and cast members not with us any more they are all sorely missed I’ve often wondered what magic would John come up with post fools and horses ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
3rd choice del outsmarts 2nd choice del
I knew Jim Broadbent was considered for the part, who was 1st choice?
@@geoffpoole483 Enn Reitel
Sir David outsmarts an Oscar winner, nobody remembers the other guy, should have taken better career advice.
@@geoffpoole483
Weren't it Michael Caine?
Imagine if he's spread about him n Raquel. I'd smack him back to Parkhurst.
At least, Del Boy, and Racquel didn't call their son, Damien, "Roy", after Roy Slater. As Del Boy said himself. "It would be unfair to Christen a kid, "Dick", wouldn't it" ?.
@@michaelasquith It was actually Rodney who said that.
@@kickassreaction180, I am very sorry. Please accept my apologies. Thank you, for correcting me. It was a genuine mistake, on my behalf. Thank you.
You can tell Jim Broadbent was originally the first choice for Del Boy Both Good Actors. Still Jim was really successful :)
Lmao😂😂😂😂
A+++
