Trivia:

Del Boy, Rodney, and Uncle Albert were originally intended to become cartoon characters as they walked off into an animated sunset at the end. It was John Sullivan's opinion that they could no longer be real, and thus end the series. At the last minute it was changed to enable a sequel trilogy.

Quotes:

Uncle Albert: It doesn't usually take us this long to finish.
Del Boy: Yes, but that is because we are not golloping down a Big Mac and chips. We're taking our time. We're savouring the food and ambience. People in there are conversing between each mouthful. It's sophisticated... No matter, I'll whack this in the microwave... Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. This isn't coffee. Smell it, it's bloody gravy.
Uncle Albert: Yeah, that's gravy. Well it's them jars. How am I supposed to tell the difference?
Del Boy: I tell you how you tell the difference. This one has on the label, Maxwell House Coffee. On this it says OXO Gravy Granules. It's a bit of a give away.
