Dude, it can be the final conclusion to the show if you want it to be. No one made you watch the others. And the fact that it isn't real life makes it matter even less. Many people loved this show so much that they were glad to get a few extra episodes that they could enjoy before the show retired for good.

[@HudsonAO8TQ1]

The best part is that watch was thrown in the garage in the first episode and they only kept note of it because Rodney wanted to show del he could be a serious partner, so he started doing the finances and made an inventory. Then the almost priceless watch sat there for years during all their ducking and diving and scheming. Brilliant.

[@paullondon6625]

I agree it should have ended here, was a perfect series up until that point and I didn't want to see them lose the money either, although in the comeback episode Rodney's comment to Del "This time last week we were millionaires" was classic!

[@VoiceOfThe]

It’s easy to say that these days. Back then the clamour for another episode after this was enormous. No regrets.

[@MelancoliaI]

This is how I want to remember the Trotters. Best scene from the best comedy *ever*

[@smokin999uk]

Agree they should have left it alone when they walked off into the sunset as millionaires. Perfect ending. If they did HAVE to bring it back they should have kept the money rather than go back to square one. Lots of scope for great storylines of Del trying to mingle with the superrich but still being a commoner at heart.

[@truth901]

Agree with that very much!! I know John Sullivan's thinking was that 'rich people' just arent funny so that why the footage of them in the 2001 episode as millionaires is only about 3 mins long...he wanted to bring them back to square 1 to make those episodes work...but I do agree with you that going down that route could've worked really well! (A bit like in Ace Ventura 2 when he mingles at the elites party...and pokes fun of them!)

[@mindfulclarity169]

You cant have as good a comedy about rich people you cant laugh when you're jealous at the same time that's why most comedy is about poor people.

@@JackassJunior627 for sure. those 3 episodes (imo) were important. in this episode you could tell del wanted to continue trading.they were never going to keep all that money because we know how unlucky they were through out all the episodes. in the end rodney got his baby and found out who his real dad was. they got a handsome amount of money from albert. for me, the real fans of OFAH appreciate those final 3 episodes.

[@Jimbo8012]

Only Fools & Horses should have ended here. It was a fitting ending. I never understood why John Sullivan wrote the script where they lost all the money.

The scene was both comedic and touching which OFAH always excelled at. The show had heart , the struggles, hopes, dreaming of the Trotter brothers despite their poverty and plans going wrong in business and love.
