@@scottmurray2776 I still laugh just as hard, knowing what is coming. I do remember watching the recording and it ran like a play. There was only one stop- and that was when “Albert” called “Cassandra”- by Raquel’s name. Apart from that one error, every laughing that episode was spontaneous audience laughter. I also remember that the BBC were filming the then lottery show in another studio, and hadn’t many people in the audience. I don’t know if it’s the same now, but then, you applied to the BBC to watch a recording and it was pot luck what you got. So, imagine my joy to get 2 tickets for Only Fools and Horses! Like me, no one else in the queue wanted to swop OFAH for the lottery show!

youandwhosearmy? I went to Bristol today and my brother showed me exactly where the van breakdown scene was filmed. It was apparently in somewhere called Penn Street. Looking at the shot at 0:25. I recognize that area now. That Granada shop to the right is now a Sainsburys. And to the left of that shot at 0:25, that eventually became part of Cabot circus.

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

Darkstar263 Yeah, you're dead right. It's what we all call Broadmead here in Bristol. The later bit, the bit with the robbery is definately in Queen Charlotte st. Just up from where the old music venue "The Granary" used to be. A load of famous bands played there before they got known. And of course, do not forget that Nelson Mandela house is situated just behind Bristol City's football ground lol

[@Darkstar263]

My brother wanted to visit those other locations too but we didn't have time unfortunately. I would like to check them out someday.On a previous visit a couple of months ago, me and my dad went into a memorabilia shop in the Galleries shopping centre and they supposedly had the actual watch from Time on our Hands on display in the window. It was framed and being sold for about 30 grand!. Yesterday, we spotted something from this episode in that shop; One of the chunky gold identity bracelets framed with a pic of Del and Rodney dressed as Batman and Robin. Also in the frame was the signed cheque for the home improvement grant. That was being sold for about 3 Grand. It's fascinating to look up these things were filmed.

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

Darkstar263 Great stuff. I walked past Nelson Mandela house yesterday 'cos I went to see City play Yeovil lol yeah that shop has been there for years. It's all pretty genuine in there , but they don't half ask a price, as you say. Enjoy your next visit :)
