[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.
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,
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 👍
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
@@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
@@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
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.
@@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!" 😂😂
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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

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.
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!
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).
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.
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.
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" ?.
'ere Rodney, I got these from a geezer on the market, called Ad Blocker, stops people from seeing ads on UA-cam. I'm gonna knock 'em out at a tenner a time. What d'ya reckon? You could be onto summat there Del...
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.
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

Beautiful! He really could talk his way out of a room with no doors👏
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

"Maybe my biggest contribution to British Culture was turning down the role of Del Boy."
(Jim Broadbent)
Slater looked like he had a moment in his trousers when Del said "lets get down to business" 😆
One of those episodes that has your heart racing even if you know what's coming.
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.
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
It's a good punch line but also shows how smart Del is

one of the best endings of only fools
Only Fools and Horses was NEVER simply a comedy.
It was so much more than that.
MUCH more.
Wouldn't surprise me if every other copper at the station bought Del a pint after that.

Thanks for that it was a good read.
I enjoyed reading this.
I know there has been many great finishes to an episode still this one has to make the top 10 surely. Absolutely brilliant
Has to be the PokerFace scene and this one for quality acting. Proper done well so they are. Brilliance 👌
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.
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.
Well he did more than outwit del cheated too
Did anyone else notice that Jim Broadbent had signed his real name on the paperwork?
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.
David Jason is brilliant as Del. Broadbent was considered to play him. Interesting to see how that would go. Great show
This messed with Slater's head so much that not long after, he told Tom Riddle about horcruxes.
That ending was comedy gold
This took Genius to a whole new level
The headline is Del outsmarts Slater. It should read John Sullivan outsmarts us all.
tears and joy Del and the gang always bring..
Slater disliked this video
And made another 154 accounts to dislike it more

Slater had it coming well done Del
One of the best scenes in OF&H ever!
Professor slughorn being the weasel that he has always been 🤣
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.
😂😂😂
Man this was a good humor...
Unfortunately I don't see this quality nowadays...
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.
Grandads my favourite
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!
This whole scene is just genius
Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent.
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).
RIP Leonard Pearce
imagine if they cast jim broadbent as superintendent mullet in touch of frost.
he is that in Hot fuzz, an all
It would interesting to know how realistic an actual police officer would think this ending was, if it is actually plausible what Del does.
To think PC Hoskins takes down Slater in To Hull and Back.
The best British sitcom ever.
I LOVE Only fools and horses
I loved this scene
There's only ONE Del Boy!!
Jim Broadbent is only 34 here, crikey he looks 47!
So apparently Slater was supposed to play Delboy Trotter. But tbh am glad David Jason got the part. Although Slater plays a good villain
And To think Jim Broadbent was originally going to play Del Boy. Can't imagine anyone else other than David Jason playing del. 👍
This was better then the poker scene
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.
Brilliant! 😂😂 love good old trotters
Most of the time they zoom in for a punch line
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.
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
That one did make me smile.
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" ?.
@Kickassreaction, I am very sorry. Please accept my apologies. Thank you, for correcting me. It was a genuine mistake, on my behalf. Thank you.
That’s professor slughorn isn’t it?
Yes
Room with no doors? I'd climb out the window!
Apparently Jim Broadbent who played the detective was originally to play Del Boy
You can call me Mr. Slater, Detective inspector Slater, or just sir!
Pure class even after all these years.. Leonard pierce who played Grandad died in 1984.
Lol outsmarted him
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.
This is a nice advert for BRITBOX!! 😐
Jim broadbent brilliant actor
I can picture the scene where Rodney says "He was bo bigger than a Dwarfff"if u know u know😂😂
one of the best gags
Perfection.. Love u🇭🇷👏
You ruined the ending by shrinking the video.
HELLO ROY!!!
So he's a dirty grass. All that giving it the big guy, and we now know he was Mr Slater's grass.
Can Del save us from all the adverts?
'ere Rodney, I got these from a geezer on the market, called Ad Blocker, stops people from seeing ads on UA-cam. I'm gonna knock 'em out at a tenner a time. What d'ya reckon?
You could be onto summat there Del...
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.
Good one Del!
I miss this comedy 😪
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?
That's fucking quality 😂😂😂😂
It was SH - AD - OW
They seek him here...they seek him there...
The man Slater would be looking for also has a great big bushy beard!
wonder if anyone has ever used this loophole to escape a real conviction?
Wasnt the PC "Parky" from it aint half hot mum?
Yes
Lovely boy, fine pair of shoulders.... Show em off...
All that over a microwave lol
Jimmy carr when he is older mr slater😊
