[@MarkHarrison733]

It was an unfunny racist series.

[@johnruby147]

My fave Uncle Albert scene is when Del says "if you mention the war once more" and Albert comes back with "i was'nt going to mention the war , during the 1939-45 conflict with Germany" and the look on Del's face is priceless

[@n19ntendods]

He’s like, “You cheeky sod!”

[@JaAoM-x3r]

that scene is hilarious, the lead up to it i classic writing.

Del already knew that Albert was never in the war from the trial.

To think Buster Merryfield was only in amateur stage productions,then came into this series he was SUBPERB and we always remember him fondly.

[@prattait7594]

He was a bank manager previously

[@mikeshirleyforever]

It was a lovely transition from Grandad to Albert when he comes back from North London with Del and his duffle bag. 'Boomerang Trotter always comes back' always makes me tear up with happiness. Thank you for this lovely compilation of a well loved character.

[@damianjenkin3900]

Your words are awesome, I don't know what else to say but thankyou BBC for this edit.Also wishing everyone a Merry Christmas Happy Holidays whatever you want to call it. Watching OFAH this time of year with your family is a must. LOVE PEACE and HEALTH to yall.

[@CricketEngland]

@@doommonger7784 I just believe grandad had two of the greatest lines in the whole series and was involved in some of the greatest episodes 1. “why what have you got a wendy house” 2. “They promised us home fit for hero’s, they gave us hero’s fit for homes” (the greatest line of OFAH) and he was involved in the funniest episode of all time when knocking down the wrong chandelier.

[@MiloFlying]

“I feel like a turkey who just caught Bernard Mathews grinning at him” 🤣 One of the most underrated lines.

[@stevewalker4331]

Uncle Albert was a fantastic addition to this amazing classic comedy series. I must have seen every episode at least a 100 times. No other comedy series can touch it. When I’m down I watch a couple of episodes to cheer me up.

[@Sou1defiler]

"VOT IS YOUR NAME!!"??" is one of the biggest laugh out loud moments ever in OFaH

[@jameswyer772]

The scene when they’re all stood in the docks is absolutely beautiful. It fills me up EVERY time. And I must have watched He Aint Heavy, He’s My Uncle 100x. Utter genius.

[@n19ntendods]

He may have been a dozy old codger, but he sure was hilarious! 😂😂😂 If it weren’t for Buster Merryfield’s comedic chops, OFAH probably would’ve never carried on! Thank you, Buster! For being able to fill in the void for Lennard Pearce! 😊😊😊

[@geoffpoole483]

A clever move by the late John Sullivan, bringing in a character Del and Rodney hardly knew. What helped Uncle Albert's character was his back story and his versatility.

[@n19ntendods]

Even though I love Uncle Albert, a part of wonders what OFAH would’ve been like if Grandad was still alive. What do you think would’ve happened? 🤔💭

In my opinion Buster was a vast improvement over gramps. I seem to remember this was Buster’s first professional role, having been in am-dram previously. He fitted in well with the others and was wonderfully funny. RIP fella.
