BEST MOMENTS EVER: 40th Anniversary Compilation | Only Fools and Horses | BBC Comedy Greats

[@Sparkledash1]

I am german and when the whole ordeal with the Pandemic started in 2020, my irish friend introduced me to this show and we pretty much watched the whole show through the lockdown. One of the funniest british comedies i have ever watched and i am eternally grateful that he showed it to me.

[@neilmcgivern2759]

When there was stuff on the BBC that was actually worth watching, comedy gold , my favorite was when "Jumbo" the Australian said "you think I'm bald don't ya" and uncle Albert responded "well that's a hell of a parting you've got there son" , Buster Merryfield's timing and delivery was perfect.

Time on our hands should have remained the last episode just such a perfect ending with all characters still present. It was never the same again without Albert and Mike. Them walking into the sun set saying this time next year we’ll be billionaires was just fantastic.
