Only Fools and Horses (TV Series) Tea for Three (1986) User Reviews

Rodney finally gets his own back!

[Robinson2511 · 9/10 · 27 December 2015]

This episode features Trigger's attractive sister Lisa, Del Boy at his most nasty, and Rodney finally getting his own back!

As usual, this episode is hilarious and clever, with the highlight being the hang-gliding scene. As Del Boy and Rodney compete for the affections of Trigger's sister Lisa, either of them will do anything to score one-up and take their revenge on the other, including Del giving Rodney a rather nasty tan under the tanning machine, and Rodney forcing Del into a terrifying Hang-gliding lesson.

In the end it all comes to nothing as they both find out that Lisa is engaged and is the only reason she is down. A nice twist that makes for a very humorous ending, as well as setting up The Frog's Legacy.

Tea for Three

I thought this was a wonderful episode of the show, from a very good 5th series.

Some lovely moments, including the iconic hand gliding moment that is excellent.

Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst on top form, and John Sullivan's script is perfection.

Wonderful.

What about brotherly love?

Tea for Three can lay claim to being one of the episodes of OFAH thanks to David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst being at the top of their game.

When Trigger's niece Lisa visits Peckham both Del and Rodney engage in a series of infantile stunts against each other with it culminating with Rodney giving Del an unwanted journey. We then get one of the best scenes In UK sit com as Del recounts the misfortunes he suffered on his trip.

Special mention must go to Gerry Cowper as the innocent Lisa stirs strong emotions in the brothers.

We Haven't Got a Car Phone!

[Lunerar · 9/10 · 19 June 2020]

This is pretty cringe watching in 2020. The acting from Trigger's sister is cheese on toast but I guess it works.

That aside this is pretty much a comedy standard of the 80s. Classic story, brilliant brotherly bickering over a woman. Both Del and Rodney showing how nasty they can be and watching them go against each other is a laugh a minute. Easily a highlight of an otherwise pretty dull season.

Brilliant!
