[@Gray-zi5bp]

As far as I'm concerned it's the greatest comedy ever. 💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍

[@edgarlee2802]

Well, I don't know where the last forty years have gone but I know where the last forty joyful minutes have gone. Thank you for your hard work in making this video.

[@VincentRE79]

I used to live in Acton in the early 80's and often saw them filming on the South Acton Estate cycling home from school.

[@jeff88701]

[@Ian-gw2vx]

Absolutely brilliant comedy and fascinating to see the locations. Been watching them recently as I have almost forgotten what it is like to laugh.

[@damonmavis4113]

i love how the imperfections are still present on the brick work in many of the shots.

[@truecrimescotsman]

"I'll watch a couple of minutes" I told myself.......yeah I watched the lot, totally transfixed. Great video Andy, well done.

[@chrisblackler4202]

I love Only Fools And Horses very much! Still watch it often never gets old with me seen every episode.🥰😍❣️

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

I grew up in Ealing minutes from those locations in W13 and W3 but now live in Marbella Spain, Great to see all the locations ! Thanks

[@Mike-kt4qh]

Only fools and the office are probably my two most favourite comedies of all time

[@scottr2156]

I love seeing someone with a passion

[@stuartross8284]

what a great video. Grew up in England but now live in LA. Im very used to people showing locations from movies made out here, but to see this video on my beloved OFAH and the effort you put in is superb. Top effort mate and much appreciated. earned you a sub!

[@wonderrob3225]

My grandpa showed me Vhs of this show when i was a boy. I have it now on Britbox. I love this show. it is not only hilarious but wise and warm

[@circle2867]

@Trains are you stalking him or something?

[@philburtonfrench]

Thank you for this video. I have recently finished a 2 year stint working with a company on the Pentonville Rd, and would walk down Chapel Market every lunchtime. Little did I know that was the market from the title sequence. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. I adore OFAH and can barely believe I've been walking up and down a piece of history for the last couple of years!

[@saeedurrahman2056]

It's actually useless information

[@kfitch4328]

This is just so amazing, feel lucky to have stumbled upon this gem on youtube. You're such a legend for doing this!

[@j.harbottle8928]

Fookin marvellous !

[@tropicalpalmtree]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="276">4:36</a> i absolutely love how the 'Furrier' sign is still there and even the shutters look like the ones from OFAH.

[@RMetsy]

Great video. I was born and bred and still living in. Wood Green (North London) spent my uni in Angel so I know chapel market well. The scene where Rodney pretends to Cass he lives in a big house was filmed in Winchmore Hill

[@Shin-ts9df]

Excellent video, well done. Only Fools and Horses No1 show of all time.

[@seanmurphy1411]

Great show🫶 and great to see the locations!!, may check them out now, 👍😄😄

[@shivaunt71]

Your passion is truly magnificent.

[@ritch8088]

Grew up in Southall. Fun fact, my old mans yellow Cortina estate is in the clip you mention around 17.57, when the urn gets sucked up by the dust cart. That was his 'claim to fame' lol. I also run though Ravenscourt Park every morning, surprised you didn't mention the other restaurant where the ambulance waits outside 'tandoori nights' which is just outside of the park. Also I lived a few doors away from 'Arnie' just off Chiswick High Road. I believe he still lives there. Actually called him 'Arnie' once as I walked past him, he smiled :)

[@ChubbyChecker182]

1981...ONly Fools and Horses started 1982...The Young Ones started. What a great couple of years.

[@dlowrie4573]

First Class Video. Really great to see all the locations especially the Jolly Boys Outing scene. Loved this video, well done. Thanks

[@G_a_zS.F.C-wt2fr]

Cushty video me old mucker! Thanks for taking the time to do this for the fans! 👏 👏

[@MrJonpac]

This is 1st class my friend .. Im obsessed with the show so this has made my day. The attention to detail is superb and it must of took you along time to put together . Your enthusiasm and passion for it all is a joy to watch . The happiness on your face when your in the ball room is a picture... Lovely Jubbly

[@RitchieRosson]

Brilliant! Fantastic video Andy.

[@badshotuk72]

Brings back some memory's, I used to go to primary school 40 years ago next to chapel market, as well as the photo's in the opening credits they used to film some scenes in the market, I'll never forget going into a shop just off the market after school and a pal of mine bought a single cigarette for 10p, David Jason was in full Delboy sheepskin and told my pal off for smoking at such a young age lol

[@paulf2898]

fantastic,all these locations have brought back so many good memories,it's hardly changed at all which is a good thing,happy times 😂

[@jamesscarselletta3446]

I love Only Fools And Horses. I watch many british shows usually on Saturday nights. This video was well made.

[@markhutchinson5565]

fantastic video with lots of energy ' thankyou.

[@simonandrew8268]

Thank you for showing us this.

[@petecoventry6858]

40th Birthday 40 locations 40 mins :) love it

[@dan_1150]

Great video, thank you for this! Me and my partner followed in your footsteps this Sunday just gone. We had lots of fun! We have good and bad news, the good news is the little shop from “Big Brother” in White Conduit Street where Del tried to sell the briefcases was actually open! We met the owners, absolutely genuinely lovely people, they’re aware of its History and have some real classic gems for sale inside! A must visit! The bad news is unfortunately 14-16 Somerset Road, otherwise known as “Vimmal Malik’s Hotel” from Cash & Curry has actually been demolished. It’s currently in the process of being rebuilt. Huge shame but still overall was lots of fun and the area was still recognisable! Highly recommended day trip for any Fools & Horses Fan!

[@markbarker6739]

I know the Southall locations very well I was brought up around there I recognized it as soon as I saw it in the episode

[@stuarty2003]

Brilliant video Andy, still watch OFAH every few days, timeless and still makes me laugh. Great (and sad) to see the locations and some of the changes.

[@stephensnell5707]

I'm glad I found this Video on KZbin as I've always wondered where the Filming locations actually were

[@pw4259]

Mate love only fools and horse's .this is great what you have done ☑️

[@steven-fx5cn]

Amazing how it looked better back then that it does today, just shows how backwards we've gone.

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

That was superb and thank you! I’m a huge fan of OFAH, the best programme to of ever graced our television screens.

[@cjcadventures]

Brilliant video thanks for this it really brings back fantastic memories 👍

[@TheAndyClockwise]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MilitaryGamer83]

I met Boycie and Marlene back in 2018, be great to meet David though and visit these sights

[@rbateman25]

The sheer amount of research and effort into all these locations is superb. Fantastic work. Thank you for this, loved it!

[@jamieguy23]

Great video! Here in Bristol there are a few locations where they filmed also, the sport & ski shop in background when the van breaksdown dressed as batman and robin i used to shop in all the time as a kid and sids cafe was a truck stop under a flyover here. Nelson mandela house was also also moved here behind Bristol Citys football stadium, Ashton Gate.

[@instinctmlbb757]

Holy, 40 years 😮 my dad used to watch this when I was a child and it rubbed off on me😂 absolutely love the series.. started watching in the mid to late 90s as a young child and still laugh my head off to this day😂😂😂

[@coffeeguy6673]

Fantastic video Andy, I'm a huge OFAH fan so massive thanks for this, very entertaining, I think I know most of the scripts off by heart !! "Wayne, THE SIREN!"

[@leggyreggae]

[@alfreddunn03]

I loved this, thanks mate.

[@davidboyce8683]

Brilliant , thank you Andy.

[@djscottys]

Great job Andy I can tell you you’re not the only person who still gets excited seeing this stuff and there should definitely be some plaques in place for what it the most amazing comedy program ever. Keep up the good work my friend

[@antzw]

i love this

[@vivianhughes9347]

What an absolutely brilliant presentation. I was actually weeping with laughter remembering the scenes from your excellent commentary. Thanks so much for giving us the tour. Must now start watching all the episodes on DVD again (you know it makes sense!) - still better than anything else on the telly! Cheers, Vivian

[@chiefrocka8604]

Great video Andy top banana Just need one of Minder Professionals Sweeney etc 👍 from me

[@jasonbarnesbefuddledprofessor]

Lovely Jubbly 👍

[@HardeepSF]

Only watched 17 mins so far, absolutely love this, i knew i've been near some of the locations, so far Boyce's first garage is where i used to catch the bus to go home from school and Mandela house being in Acton was near the block of flats me and my family used to live many years ago, so glad you have taken the time out to do this

[@paulcavanagh1294]

Absolutely brilliant mate! Fantastic, thanks for doing this! You're enthusiasm is contagious!!!

[@gooner2000woman]

i lived in chapel; market i remember them filming it i was just a kid!!

[@MrJonpac]

I went to the farm shop from Mother Nature's son episode . Myles shop . Its just outside of Brighton . Some of the staff still work there and rememberd the filming day well. I also stopped off at the allotments which is in the same area. We stayed in Brighton at the Grand hotel and then went down the road to Hove and see the Blue plaque where John Sullivan lived. . A great day and a proper jolly boys outing .. Shame i was only with the Misses..😁

[@jamesdelatour2266]

Brilliant. I’ve always wanted a complication of real locations. Thank you 👍🏼

[@asimiqbal7421]

Great Video 😄

[@julianpavey9999]

HA great. I know Philip McGough AKA "ARNIE" in Chain Gang,he lives in W4 like me. Some people may later know him as the doctor in doctors. Still,he did not have far to go given location was down the road in W5

[@andrewsmedley2164]

awesome video! WOW! many hours of research

[@richardayrton2697]

What a wonderful video! Really enjoyed & appreciate your hard work in matching the shots up.

[@Shin-ts9df]

[@derekblake9385]

Really interesting, great job especially regarding the jolly boys outing episode of which it’s my favourite 👌

[@martinnorth2680]

Excellent video

[@retrorewindshop]

Another great location video. When I went to Hollywood and LA in 2000/2001 I wanted to visit film locations and was hard to get info back then. But managed a few incl Pretty Woman and Bev Hills Cop.

[@TB.....]

Loved this. Thanks for giving us the postcodes. Definitely will check out Nelson Mandela House before it gets knocked down. Cheers again. Lovely Jubbly.

Awesome video Andy, love the commitment.

That was a superb video. So much work, and I can tell you from a viewer's perspective that it was a joy to watch.

[@sarahdavid8931]

I'm a huge OFAH fan. This is great! Thank you so much for posting. It's interesting purely from a historical perspective on how things change, without the OFAH element which is absolutely the icing on the cake!

[@bobstar6837]

Take a bow son👏

[@JRP90]

What a legend, thank you for making this and sharing! :D
