Only Fools and Horses - Del's microwave plan

[@blainoneill5861]

Brilliant Del! Slater was wrong, he really could talk his way out of a room with no doors.

[@djmyme1]

How can anyone dislike this video?? This is one of the best moments in Only Fools and Horses ever..

[@benevenden8035]

That Guy Myme probably Slater

[@connorbool6179]

Jtmissile / SS870 you do realise love island is from England?

[@joeyoung8324]

One of the best moments in television history***

[@DEC19775]

Where are the dislikes

[@boscovilante4068]

Funfact: They removed all the dislikes because of this video.

[@wt8012]

The look on Slater's face at the end is PRICELESS!

[@d-logan5280]

All this over a microwave. England's changed.

[@jackr5407]

That’s kind of the joke

[@abseiduk]

What you talking about back in the 80s microwave was top end mate.

[@dhvsheabdh]

it really isn't the joke at all, it couldn't be less "the joke" ​@@jackr5407

[@Sciencedgofood]

Video needs another 5 seconds or so to see Delboy being smug lol

[@Ben_Ramirez19]

such a clever plan. Del admits he stole it, but Slater can;t do anything about it because he has immunity from prosecution

[@sentry1996]

Poor Rodney looks as though he's about to cry as he says "That's illegal!"

[@fdsfsd-i1t]

He didn't say that...

[@QasimKhan-oo7vw]

Slater reaction is priceless

[@jaggass]

To think that Del Boy was originally going to be played by Slater (Jim Broadbent)

[@DEC19775]

Michael Langley would not have lasted as long

[@zeljkokaradzic7894]

You sure?How is that possible?

[@paullittle4622]

Michael Langley yes that is correct he was the original choice for dell boy 👦

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Apparently he turned it down as he didn't want the role to clash with his theatre projects.

[@Horsley-Green]

Apparently he still wanted to be involved though so John wrote Slater for him

[@spikie852]

Literally my favourite scene.

[@markfox1545]

As opposed to figuratively your favourite? How would that work? Moron.

[@RefinedRouge]

He who dares, wins!

[@jaymillar7637]

Classes del. “for the last and final time who nicked the microwave?” “I did” all in all this was a hilarious episode

[@ObviouslyKieran]

"The man who could talk himself out of a room with no doors." Never realised this before but this is genius foreshadowing.

[@archieoutdoors3340]

What episode is that?

The brilliant David Jason. Fantastic actor. Great as Del , Granville, Pop Larkin , Frost.

Pure Art....

[@ShotTower1]

This is my favorite only fools episode.

[@Biscom]

Del's such a laugh!!!!

[@alanoconnor6921]

Best ever episode of only fools and horses,, Jim broadbent should have won an Oscar as slater,, '' 'know anything about a microwave oven trig?? Eh no detective slater I'm no good with electrics!!

[@6611haggis]

Jim Broadbent looks a good bit older than David Jason despite being almost 10 years younger.

[@chequehook68]

"I DID!" All hail Delboy! The reason Delboy is a national hero. Take the piss out of our empire, even our Queen, but don't even think of bringing up a trotter! Lol.

Del Boy, a hidden genius :)

[@billygiles3276]

Nope. Any genius inside of people today is quickly destroyed in our totalitarian indoctrination centres otherwise known as modern schools.

Oh! You missed the bit where del produces 4 aces.

[@garethhook9972]

Slater was brilliant,omg do l love this program

[@cartoonhead840]

That’s against the law Phone the police hahahahaha

[@MrApolloTom]

Jason's (and at other times Lyndhurst's) timing is so key to OFAH. He waits for the moment, but another second and I might have worked out the joke, but he gets it in just first.

[@rokpodlogar6062]

indeed, it's last second.

[@latchmere100]

What great actors. Jim Broadbent and David Jason.

[@bijou201]

Classic moment! One of my favorites

[@davidoftheglen3447]

Del set him up good n proper :)))

[@brandontierney358]

"I did"

[@miroslavtomic7038]

And to think that role of Del was originally created for Jim Broadbent. Broadbent has said many times since that he regretted declining the role of Del, which led to him being cast as Roy Slater as John Sullivan still wanted him in the series in some way. David Jason, who was still working on Open All Hours when this show started, wasn't even a second choice. The second choice was then unknown Billy Murray, later known for his role of Johnny Allen on EastEnders. The twist of fate was that when John Sullivan went to a play to see and interview Murray for the role, he met then completely unknown Roger Lloyd Pack, who was in the same play, by chance and eventually created role of Trigger for him.

[@DEC19775]

Never cross Del Boy

[@punkrock1989]

[@glenalden3288]

Omg wat a brilliant scene

[@zamundalion]

OFAH was filled with so many jokes yet offended no one. Why can't comedy writers of today do same? Little imagination?

[@maxhowlett9661]

It's not the writers that are the problem, it's the people watching. If OFAH came out today, it wouldn't even make the cutting room floor with some of the jokes in this programme. You unfortunately cant make the same jokes you could in the 80s :/

[@DEC19775]

What can you learn from this video clip do not cross del

[@FXYKNG]

He jacked him

[@filmsforallnations]

I would loved to have seen Rodney and Grandad’s reaction, after Del Boy said “I did”. They might have both been smiling, as Del had won over Slater. Grandad could have said “I knew Del Boy had something up his sleeve and would eventually outsmart Roy Slater”.

[@derek-press]

you could see it coming but still priceless

[@mickdunne981]

Del got him lovey 😅😅😅

[@jimmykray9583]

Who actually did nick the microwaves though

[@donnn-sg4mk]

That's a good question... Chances are tho it really was del...but also he could had been someone else too.

[@Horsley-Green]

Jimmy Kray it was Del.

[@minicle426]

Monkey Harris?

[@googleuser8740]

Is this legally realistic?

[@velikan420]

I don't think so, but Slater isn't exactly the most legal copper so

[@MarineAqua45]

In 1983,yes. This was the days before ‘The PACE Act 1984 & The CPS Act,1986.

[@katiejohnston6783]

Very good

[@CricketEngland]

Grandad - “look son you done so much boot licking you will be coming down with cherry blossom poisoning” Slater - “Put them in separate cells and no conferring” Grandad - “what next are they gonna give us a starter for 10” Two best lines in the whole episode

CID this involved in a mere microwave? A murder, rape or mugging perhaps... but not this.. Unless things have changed drastically over the years?

[@aquapony]

They were top of the range

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

Fair enough then..

[@johnkennethwiseman682]

Where slater and trotters names come into it, then cid is involved

[@kwesiidun8512]

Paw X Paw - I wouldn't be surprised if you're a 15-year-old millennial who thinks that there were microwaves on the Titanic. 🙄 Bare in mind that this episode was from 1983 or something. It was from one of the very early series of Only Fools and Horses, anyway. At the time, Microwaves were still in their infancy here in the UK and therefore would have been highly sought after. So the theft of one like this would have required involvement from the top brass of law enforcement due to their market value.

[@eyefishinggunkchannel1011]

this would not work cos slater could put the word on the streets he is a grass so this would not work slater says it in his own words..back in them days you wouldnt grass

Wasn't Michael Caine another candidate?

[@seamusoflatcap]

@@Jtmissile not many people know that.

[@geoffpoole483]

I think Enn Reitel was another choice for Del Boy. Roger Lloyd Pack wasn't an unknown when he joined the cast.
