Ha ha. I was just going to write that word for word! I've heard the story that the rest of the cast gave him a hard time to start with as they were pally with Leonard Pearce, but he played the role of Albert 100%. I'm fact, I much preferred his character over granddad.

There's a reason why Only Fools and Horses is a national treasure, and you can see it right there in this scene. You won't find funnier comedy anywhere in all of British TV. Grandad was really really funny, but when Uncle Albert came along the comedy hit a new dimension. The whole cast were just firing on all cylinders by this stage, the timing was perfect, and the scripts were amazing. This one, along with 'There's a Rhino Loose in the City' and Del and Trigger at the nightclub with Del falling through the bar, are the greatest comedy moments ever from the funniest show ever. Brilliant.

There used to be a bar in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, called Laurel & Hardy's. They kept their pint glasses in the freezer and had Only Fools & Horses running all the time they were open. Me and the boys spent about 90% of our days in that bar, it was a genius idea!

@crooty9 Жыл бұрын

Just the whole idea behind this scene is genius. The way the whole thing is teed up by Del and Albert's tête-à-tête at the beginning, and then the absolutely razor sharp comedy timing by Buster Merryfield with David Jason's reactions. On any other lesser sitcom they'd probably only get away with one mis-timed gasp, but here they go not one but two steps above and beyond thanks to the brilliant writing and comedy acting genius. And then when it is time for the "real" fake reaction and Albert completely misses his cue, well, that just puts it on another level entirely!

Talking of funny, my most favourite episode is Tea For Three, especially that part when Rodney says, “Yeah, well, he used to be 6 foot 1, but like he said, he had a bad landing.” It is one of the funniest lines in comedy history. I also like the bit when Del says, “You can’t stand around street corners with your face. The traffic will be waiting for you to change to green.”

No must have taken a few shots. Just mention the episode with the chandelier was filmed in just one take the reason for this was obvious as they were about to break a chandelier though not priceless still expensive & therefore the actors Nick & david were strictly told not to laugh otherwise it would ruin the whole scene. I admire their restraint & not laughing out loud still must have been hard.
