Question, what is the very best episode of Only Fools And Horses? It's a debate we've all had with our friends and family but it's always hard to agree. With 64 episodes spanning 22 years, its difficult to decide with all those great moments of comedy gold to choose from.
The one constant with fans like myself being, The Jolly Boys Outing has some of the best moments in the shows history. Whether it be Del playing Trival Pursuit (female Swan, 3 letters..) or Triggers response to being stranded (I lost my dolphin) there's so many stand out moments that keep the laughs rolling.
To recap, the 1989 Christmas special sees the Trotters (along with all the series regulars) head off to Margate for a lads day out of sun, sand and seafood. Along the way there are dodgy Albanian radios, exploding coaches and horror movie hotels all within the space of 60 minutes. The gags are thick, fast and plentiful, a side splitting mix of visual humour( Rodneys facial expression at the coach blowing up), running jokes (Albert crossing paths with Sid during the war) and brilliant one liners too many here to mention.
There's even some tender moments with the reintroduction of old flames, a welcome return of Dels former girlfriend Raquel adds a nice continuity to the Trotter timeline as well as every single plot thread thread set up at the Start of this episode has a pay off by the 60 minute mark.
All wonderful stuff from the late great John Sullivan, penning what could be his finest hour of T. V.
