I once read a post from someone who often saw Nick Lyndhurst out and about.  Funnily enough, they claimed he looked less than impressed when people shout 'oi, Rodders!  Plonkers,' rather than acknowledging with a hearty laugh and wave.  Who'd've Adam-an-Eved it?

He wasn't fond of "YOU GARY SPARROW CUNT!" either.

People mostly shout New Tricks catchphrases at him these days.

I passed the theatre where the musical's on today. It looks like one of the dinner shows.



Good to see the pub next door joining in the fun.

Or a 'cushty' in the bar. That rivals 'chekky' pint for drink-related phrase of the year.

Shaky

Tremendous idea for a rib-tickling, relevant piece of signage but they just didn't commit in the end.

Utter Shit

Caught the end of the episode mentioned in the title tonight and the ending is really fucking weird.

Del fucks the quiz show and goes out on the piss, apparently abandoning his wife and kid to go to a strip club. This is not seen as a big deal. But that isn't the issue.

They all eventually reconvene at the house where everyone has a blazing row. Not that unusual, fine. Then there is a call from the quiz show who say that actually Del got the question right and they would like to invite him back on the show. Then, in a decent callback to an earlier prank call, Del wrongly assumed it is Micky Pearce on a wind up and tells him where to go. Neatly wrapping up the episode, no problem.

What doesn't make any sense is that at this point, with the Trotters still supposedly at each others threats and presumably wound up further by Micky's prank call...they excitedly exclaim that "we're the Trotters...and we're BACK!". And then the episode ends. Now why on earth would a prank call from Micky Pearce not only make them forget their argument, but suddenly decide that all their problems are  behind them? Completely mad.

Has anybody else ever noticed how many horse references there are in OFAH? Here's my list:

Only Fools and Horses
Stick a pony in my pocket
The Nag's Head
Trigger (named after Roy Roger's horse)
Trotter (horses trot)
Cassandra (predicted the wooden horse of Troy in Greek mythology)

Any more?

All The " rum" business deals what Del Notjimbroadbent and Rodney Plonker got involved with, many of which were not entirely profitable, leaving Del Cushtylandingoncrashmatafterfallingpastopenedbarhatch feeling quite embarrassed, and having "red"cheeks due to blushing.

( Rum, Red, famous racehorse )

Those last three episodes being "saddled" *with crap plots.

And that scene where Rodney feeds Cassandra a whole apple from the palm of his hand.

A lot of people think Nicholas Lyndhurst sings the end credits but it's actually Mr Ed.

The episode where Uncle Albert is sad and jumps into the big machine at the glue factory.

The Trotters owned a Reliant Robin, which has three wheels, just like a horse.
