REST IN PEACE, SO GLAD I SAW HIM IN PERSON. Such a great guy

[@jofrances3296]

He really seemed such a lovely man

[@thesailjunkie]

The most hilarious sitcom ever. They made you feel you were part of the family.

[@crystalmazer9063]

Well said

[@leedsboy64]

RIP John the whole nation is proud of you

[@kevinroberts5653]

we Should StIll have John here

[@anythingspossiblemusic]

Just heard the news about John. Rest in peace boycie. Best laugh in comedy

[@WhoFlungPoo2024]

Two of the best in this cast of acting geniuses. I'm a Yank and loved this show. English comical genius at its usual perfection. Kudos, UK. We can't do 'em like you folks can do! (And humor is sorely needed in our country right now (2017)!

[@kristin1980uk]

RIP Boycie 😥😥

[@araregoodguy]

Marlene looks better than she did in the old days!

[@nathan2497]

@@Anonymous-or4ru yh always had a thing for her when she was on ofah pretty easy on the eyes and has a nice figure

[@albaproductions9602]

Only Fools and Horses was that one time you get an assembled cast that just gels instantly, even the guest artists seemed so comfortable and that I suppose is down to the regular cast making them feel welcome and wonderful writing by John Sullivan.

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

If you watch the episode "Strained Relations", Del Boy's mourning and emotions shown at Grandad's funeral are all completely genuine because David Jason and the rest of the cast were still grief stricken. I think that scene was shot just a week after the real funeral of Lennard Pearce.

[@l34052]

Clarissa McPigeon You are correct, both David and Nicolas and most of the cast and crew had attended the funeral of Lennard Pearce only a week before and I think that really came through in the acting. Through the genius of John Sullivan even that had a funny twist with the vicars hat☺

[@amiga512k]

Sue is gorgeous

[@samallardyce2522]

boycie laugh is legendary

[@vladimirdobrijevic9329]

Only fools and horses is basically most popular foreign series of all times in Serbia :) Legends!

[@vishy]

Vladimir Dobrijevic got to love a random fact 😂

[@1gadena]

Really wow I would never have thought it would be popular in Serbia and eastern Europe

[@Replevideo]

In my local pub there was a guy we all called Boycie because he did a perfect impression of Boycie. Not only did he do the voice and the mannerisms, but his jokes were always in exactly the same style. Real name Chris, a washing machine technician.

[@brody5211]

Replevideo I presume his jokes are clean so ...

[@MyRonnierocket]

Ha ha nice one

[@obviouslytwo4u]

Doff butternut parsnip

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Could he do the laugh, as well?

[@jofrances3296]

Wonderful John Challis 😢love the whole cast such a great programme and a great writer John Sullivan so many great stories he wrote. RIP John sadly missed by so many 😢

[@bethmc717]

Wonderful characters from a great series.

[@peterwickendon258]

Got to admire John Challis for being a good sport

[@michaelcarter5434]

By far the best sitcom ever shown on TV. The good old days of comedy.

[@DarrenBonJovi]

How did Holmes pull her.... 'tis one of the great mysteries of the modern world...

[@robleary3353]

Bril actors both!. Sad that he's gone, but will always be remembered for Boycie and the many other roles he played. Boycie was the only character I could impersonate...... Smiles. An actor or actress that can immediately bring a smile or a laugh after a rotten day are truely great!

[@KevinSmith-wp9qs]

Love the fact he embraces Boycie, after all that's the character that made him. Some actors hate being typecast.

[@virginianeil6185]

weird to hear Boycie and Marlene speak in their own accents , very well spoken too x brilliant x

[@bigdave6591]

Met John Challis aka boycie a few months ago at his show in Falkirk town hall met him after signed autographs and happy to pose for photos diamond geezer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johntaylor6345]

John Challis played a villian in a Tom Baker Doctor Who story The Seeds of Doom. He played Scorbie brilliantly.

[@dannyocean7090]

Marlene confirmed it! Her and Del had something going on

[@trikeruk]

the nicest people ive met,only fools and horses fan club meeting

[@stevedoubleu99B]

For me, Boyce's best line ever was delivered with perfection in The Jolly Boys Outing............."Chuck him on the back seat?? He's the driver!!" Anyone agree? Great screen couple and nice people in reality too.

[@DINXIII]

legends all of them such a show and such characters

[@JohnJohnson-tw8qk]

R. I. P. John you'll be sadly missed and just to think we may never got to see him as boycie if he chose to go to America I once read but glad he stayed in only fools and horses and sue is still beautiful gorgeous 😍❤️

[@AndyB1286]

The first bit (before the interview) is Boycie slamming the phone down in "To Hull And Back", after telling a customer, "no, this is not Mr Boyce speaking! This is his public relations officer."

[@simonkevnorris]

I remember seeing Sue Holderness in a Minder episode where she played Laura a market trader one of the many wives of Clive Cosgrove (Patrick Mower) - the episode was called A Number of old Wives Tales (1984).

[@kerryhartley5776]

am going to see boycie and marlene on the 19th of july cant wait

[@smithel3538]

I went to see john at a panto at the Alhambra theatre in Bradford last year, he was a villain and he sneaked in a "Come along Marlene" line.

I love this

[@BlytheWorld1972]

i loved them both

[@NDRonin1401]

I wish The Green Green Grass was still running :-) Besides Marlene & Boyce, my favorite British tv couple, there were so many (actually all of them) excellent characters !! The farm hands, the cleaner, Elgin Sparrowhawk Farm Manager!!, the Welsh neighbour ... and Tyler's second gf at the end of the series was awesome too, wish she had gotten a bigger role, Samantha Sunderland was brilliantly funny!

[@JayKhwaja]

UTTER LEGENDS!!!!

[@TyMarshall007]

I meet John Challis at waterstones in Hereford for the book signing 2011 very nice man

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

He was at the Ipswich Waterstones a couple of years ago. I didn't see him but the local press was full of comments about how nice he seemed and how lovely it was to have him visit.

[@JamieBoy-ij2ri]

He also went to Croydon Waterstones in December 2011 which I planned to go to but unfortunately didn't make it.

[@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid]

RIP Boycie....

[@LaurelHardyLady1]

John Sullian was brought up on Laurel & Hardy and was a HUGE fan! He based Del & Rodney on Stan & Ollie, 2 ordinary journeymen just trying to make their (often odd!) way through life! Mixed with John's East End memories, it was a winning combination! Tributes/quotes run through two NEW books "ARTHUR AND NORVELLE:THE FORGOTTEN AND REAL LEGEND OF LAUREL AND HARDY", now on AMAZON! Buying these books will help a Project bring back L&H into all out lives, to inspiure more great comedy minds!

[@kingflappy4827]

I saw a l and h movie and i haveseen 3 different takes of this movie in other peoples comedy acts or films

[@henridelagardere264]

[@graemefarquharson465]

She about 62 here. And she looks good for her age.

[@EmilyHartley25989]

Saw a clip of her last week speaking about John Challis’ illness sadly. She still looks great.

[@wheezyorange1640]

I saw him in the Jack and the bean stalk at the alambire in Bradford

[@tescolemonbleach2359]

Same i went with primary school in year 6 and saw him and remember that at the end of the show he said Marlene in his iconic voice and accent

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

The scary thing is about 9 years ago I knew an English guy in Spain that not only looked like Boycie maybe slightly thinner... but also sounded just like Boycie haha

[@FPInvention]

It sppears the entire cast all put on that cockney accent, makes it even better

[@kenstevens5065]

So sad John is no longer with us but Sue carries on. The problem I see is that there's no one to replace them in modern Britain.

[@jane9875]

I used to see him in the farm shop in Ludlow

[@missfruitiecutie13]

All the lads remember Marlene 😂

[@GavinRussell59]

She is a lovely lady

It was the black guy who done the laugh really well in there little video and when they couldn't think of his name you could tell they didn't wanna say do you mean the black bloke? Lol

[@daveog6429]

Sooooo correct!!!

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

Haha,aye it`s a mad world when you can`t speak your mind thanks to the thought police!

Well yeah it wouldn't go down well if they only know their only black employee as "the black bloke".
