This is what made John Sullivan a writing genius he never let it get revealed too early what the main punchline was. He let it build up perfectly and then boom it was revealed at the right moment . Writing calibra we will never see the likes of again

[@caseyfalconer7347]

Incredible scene. We knew something funny was coming but when it did it was class. First time seeing this I was crying with laughter 😂

[@thebaron9059]

@@caseyfalconer7347 Many, lesser shows would have just had Tony Angelino's 'cheesy pub singer' as the punchline, and first time viewers of this probably expectd that was it, until the cwying started! Comedy gold!

I feel the same about the whole series nothing will come close , to Hull an back was still my favourite

The one-two punch of Del Boy mouthing "Cwying?!" in outrage, followed by Raquel having to hurriedly backspace "Cwying" to "Crying" fully takes me out every time

[@casey4290]

I always thought he was mouthing "Rodney" hehehe

[@leonardothefabulous3490]

I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not!!!

[@ftlod9324]

Everytime I hear this song I think of this episode 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely priceless 👌🤣

[@KeithRowley418]

Pwiceless!!!😊😅

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

Philip Pope, the one and only Tony Angelino, a brilliant actor and one of the highlights of possibly the best ever BBC sitcom.

[@davehenson7104]

When Raquel says "Cwing". Had me in stitches. I always wondered if that was intentional or accidental. Either way this is one of the most iconic scenes in the show.

[@caseyfalconer7347]

Pure quality comedy at its best. Had me dying with laughter the first time I see it

[@EditorOfSL]

Whenever she sings “Crying” very firmly, she sounds like she’s trying to correct Tony’s pronunciation.

[@kevdimo6459]

I was in stitches and nearly Cwying!

[@caseyfalconer7347]

Cracks me up in the chorus when Raquel also makes the mistake. 😂

If only they had released it on single. It would have been Number 1 in the charts for weeks 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@Kelly-fx1xi]

It's Rodney's facial expressions that get me 🤣🤣

[@NeidalRuekk]

So many times Del pushed him into something he would have to take the fall for that would be his fault. Satisfying indeed to see Rodney smirking at Del failing

[@sarahwatkins4520]

One of many times Rodney would be like "I told you that would happen."

[@tonecrome3685]

I love the scene in the dressing room where he transforms from Tony Angelino, complete with huge salami sausage down his pants, into the little ferret faced dude he really was. If you watch this scene and the dressing room scene for the first time, you're in for a treat. Just don't expect to stop laughing any time soon.

[@tomhaskett5161]

Yes, he walks out in a donkey jacket looking like a bloke who works on the bins, and all the women outside just blank him!

[@LeeJohn70]

Mattesons could have used Tony in their TV Commercials, would have been hilarious 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@caseyfalconer7347]

A moment in time. This great comedy show can never be recreated & never should be.

[@crispybits3765]

So funny, and I always thought that the writers were particularly clever in finding a song which didn't expose Tony's short tongue until the chorus.

[@caseyfalconer7347]

Comedy quality at its finest. I always come back to this episode when I’m in need of a good laugh 😂

[@richardbannister1269]

Fantastic episode! One of the best! Brilliant writing, leaving the viewer waiting to near the end for Tony’s ‘Pwonounciation’ problem. ‘I want my money Mr Twotter’ Sullivan was a genius

[@dclark988]

We will never see such writing , acting or comedy ever again .

[@chris-io1ki]

Stage Fright. My favourite episode😂 Waquel and Wodney😂😂😂

[@Trikeboy2]

This is the genius of this show. They set up Tony has a problem earlier but don't tell us what it is. Then they bring on Raquel who sings beautifully. On comes Tony who is singing well then BOOM, punchline and hysterics ensue. Most other comedies would have gone straight for the punchline but the writers knew how to hold the joke until it drops at the perfect moment.

[@malbig2344]

Gold-dust. One of the top ten moments in British sitcom. The gag is perfectly timed, perfectly executed and perfectly filmed.

[@barrysolly2637]

As the scene builds you can see Rodney and Raquel genuinely struggling to keep a straight face when altho us viewers didnt know what was coming,they did. Absolutely brilliant,will never be bettered imo.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I think her saying cw-crying might actually be a mistake they just left in.

[@claire6795]

What's worse is there WAS actually many pubs and clubs with entertainment like it !! My dad had a pub, jazz bands and singers & Crooners!! Audiences members would get called up to do a Frank Sinatra or Barbara Streisand.. Everyone is in Sunday best, adorned with Gold ID bracelets, sovereign rings etc !! Roast potatoes and peanuts on the bar. Frankie Fraser had his own "perch" 🤣 even in a packed pub, the one empty reserved barstool, no one wanted the ag of arguing over it ! One day thinking it would be good to do a talent show competition.... It didn't end well, lots of pushy mums and teenage tantrums ! There was always a "headline act" someone who'd been on New Faces or Opportunity Knocks !! They would do a very short set before rushing off to the next pub!! Stardom was different in them days !! Bucks Fizz, Jim Davidson, someone off The Comedians like Mike Reid !!

[@michaelacoulthard]

I love how they sang two verses of "Happy birthday" to Eugene McCarthy's mum, and Del and Rodney keep singing it, after everybody else had stopped.

[@Sam-mb8tm]

A great episode. I never stopped laughing. I actually liked raquel singing in this scene she sounded really nice

[@ASoBiDeaTHTRaP]

That subtle flip where an increasingly annoyed Raquel tries to correct Tony’s pwonunciation mid-song only for it to backfire and have her accidentally sing “cw...crying.” instead.
