Wake Up Babe, new shitty Only Fools and Horses merch Just dropped

[Fambo Number Mive]

I wonder who decided when designing that advent calendar "we can't just have the OFAH characters being doors, we need to have the ability for Del and Rodney to skate around in circles in the middle of the Nag's Head." It would probably be cheaper to make without that gimmick.

The Rodney feels a bit harsh.

Did they get it from this guy?

Yeah but without the gimmick it would be shit. The gimmick is what completes the piece. Only up to about day 15 then you have push Cassandra and Raquel down.

Poor old Grandad is underserved in the world of OFAH merch. It's always Uncle Albert instead, dispite Grandad being the far superior character. It's harder to track down his bobble head.

Having never actually seen it, I thought Buster Merryfield's character WAS Grandad??? Hat fucked

[Terry Torpid]

I can see why it would look that way from the outside. As it happens, Buster Merryfield is Uncle Albert, the brother of Grandad, which is misleading because he's actually Great Uncle Albert.

Merryfield was the replacement for Lennard Pearce, who died. There's at least one episode where they simply gave the lines originally written for Grandad to Albert, so in that instance he basically was the same character.

I don't know. I can see the logic in sewing up Del's mouth.

But where do the catchphrases come out?

Er, that appears to be some old pieces of wood lashed together, are you sure it's the right link?

[The Bumlord]

I don't think Del himself would bother trying to flog something that hooky.

Pure deso

Only Fools and Horses super fan Ricky Hatton MBE (shown above), was also delighted to be the proud owner of a set and shared an awesome picture of the occasion.  Ricky is a huge fan of the show and has collected lots of memorabilia over the years and even drives his very own Trotters van to his gym.

What the fuck does that Hereford seller think they're selling? The "fall through" bar?!

Ad advert for OFAH Christmas jumpers came up in my X feed and I blame you lot for algorithm pollution

[Fambo Number Mive]

I love how the ebay ad for the Del Bar "lookalike" mentions it has a shelf in the title. How could anyone resist?

Imagine falling through that.

[Uncle TechTip]

The bar will only be complete if you can win this.

And use this light to illuminate the bar: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385609873155?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RlwNAFPkTNG&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You can even get the plushies in Keir Starmer livery: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385652953347?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eg1dqzr2q8q&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Misread that as Grandad saying "I burn".

Is this some kind of joke about the fake dirt on the bottom of the sign?

The big F on the last line is a bit annoying.

[The Bumlord]

Could do with ditching the "OK" too.

[dissolute ocelot]

Yeah, "Is" shouldn't be capitalized either, and I don't like the apostrophe in "I'll".  Get a proper designer. Their "This time Next year we'll be millionaires" (sic) sign has similar problems. You can get an OFAH font here if you want to do something similar.

Or Chico Marx. Or Jon Richardson.

comes with show locations/scenery & weirdly police suspects looking cast polaroids & off cuts of wall paper used during the making of the show,
