Only Fools and Horses Facts That You Haven't Heard Before 🍹

[@MarkyCMark]

David Jason, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated British actors of all time. Very few actors can balance comedy and dramatic roles and make it look so effortless as he does.

[@ianlock3313]

In what way is he underrated? They don't call him a national British treasure for nothing. He's won awards. People watch shows because he's in it how is that underrated?

[@dannykay5536]

​@ianlock3313 I think he means as an actor overall like how he didn't go on to do big screen plays like being in big movie budgets he didn't go anywhere apart from TV in England which is nothing wrong but also being underrated

[@ianlock3313]

@@dannykay5536 Maybe..... I don't think so but maybe. I think he knew TV was better for him. Not every actor wants to go off to Hollywood and make movies.

[@MarkyCMark]

@@dannykay5536 Exactly, I consider him underrated as he's never regarded amongst the great British actors of his generation (Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, John Cleese etc) which he deserves to be. I am also surprised that he never did any big film roles.

[@Marky.H]

He most certainly is not underrated!! He one of our many national treasures and is a highly rated and skilled actor

Greatest comedy of all time, the episode with the chandeliers is an absolute classic..

[@mickieg1994]

one of my favourite details about that scene was just how much was relying on a pitch perfect performance for the shot, if they got it wrong, that was it, no comedic climax, no last episode and without the budget for a second take the show couldn't survive that kind of blow, it would of ended unfinished after just two series.

Extra fact. Denis Lill (who played Cassandras Dad) was also in the famous British comedies "Red Dwarf" and "Blackadder". He was also the visual representation of Batmans original co-creator "Bob Kane" in the first Batman movie from Tim Burton.

Except the Trigger scene when stating his real name.

[@revived247]

And the actor who was cast as slater was never considered for Del, Del was written as much shorter than Rodney, so why would he consider someone similar height to Rodney.

[@leonperry123]

Exactly.

[@ianlock3313]

​@@revived247actually that's where you are wrong. David Jason said himself in an interview on The One Show that originally John Sullivan wanted Jim Broadbent (Slater) to play Del Boy.

I am lost for words the amazing and very intelligent OFAH pure comedy😊👍

[@sa4540]

I don’t like how this doesn’t show what she’s commentating on. It’s weird. For instance, she mentioned Corrine and practically showed every character, barring her 😂. Literally everything she mentions is never shown on the video

[@mickieg1994]

i think it's massively out of sync at the very least, the audio of her talking about david beckham and the footage were pretty far apart, if it's not out of sync then it's just plain confusing as to why you would make a video that way

[@AndrewGruffudd]

My favourite OFAH moment is Del's defeat of Slater at the end of the Class of '62 episode - 'though I do love me the 2 pair poker moment with Boycie and Del featured. Incidentally, I did read a foreword of an Only Fools and Horses book in which Anthony Hopkins claimed he would have liked to have played Delboy. Sounds a bit far-fetched to me, but all things are possible x

[@CARLIN4737]

Enn Reitel was the original first choice but he turned it down as did Jim Broadbent who went on to play Roy Slater instead.

[@Mark-oy9lw]

[@johnnymac1580]

Not bad ⚡️

[@CARLIN4737]

Tuesday 8th September 1981. Episode 1 series 1. Big Brother. OFAH first episode.

[@DaveDoc1984]

Trigger also calls Rodney "Dave" by accident the very 1st time but they kept it in :). Another fact for you.

[@JacknVictor]

That is incorrect. Infact, the idea for trigger to mistakenly call Rodney 'Dave' initially came from the Del Boy actor himself, Sir David Jason. It is mentioned in his new memoir book 'Only Fools and Stories' He had come up with the idea and mentioned it to series creator and writer John Sullivan early on while they were filming series one episode one of the show. He then goes on to say in the book that John loved the idea then "ran with it utterly brilliantly", turning the joke into the long running gag that it was, but dropping it into episodes just often enough so that it wasn't overused, so as to get the perfect payoff with it. And that is the story of how it came about. So that, infact, IS another fact for you.

[@hammertime3703]

I think they should have kept Raquel as a one time only thing, maybe bring her back for the closure but otherwise....eh. He should have ended up with someone else, find a way to make it work with June. Or maybe even follow up on that comment where he seemed to regret a missed relationship. Far fetched a little I know, but meeting Raquel again was that too.
