Shite day. Drama upon drama and a dozen work fuck ups to sort out.

Got home, had a good 3 glasses of wine by 6pm, and sat down for some telly, thought I'd cheer myself up with some OFAH, and it's Grandad's funeral.

Rodney putting the hat on the grave! 😭😭😭

I love OFAH.

Watch the one where Rodney has to pretend to be 14 and join 'The Groovy Gang' or the classic 'Jolly Boys' Outing' to cheer yourself up!

But she so should have married Geoffrey Fairbrother, not the awful Clive. He was a prat for buggering off to 'Whiskey-consin' without her.

Both absolute classics!

The chandelier one always has me doubled over, or the one with the luminous paint. What a show!

The luminous paint on mum's grave!

I always get choked at the Rodney wedding episode when Del realises that Rodney won't be coming home to the flat, it's all change.

Except he obviously does come home to the flat, by accident, forgetting he's married 😂

ssd · 07/10/2021 18:54

Nah, the one where Del Boy is acting cool in the cocktail bar with Trigger and tries to lean on the bar....Grin

Both great. I love the Jolly Boys' Outing.

Can't believe Simon Cadell (Jeffrey Fairbrother) died so young. Only 45. Fabulous in the part.

IhateBoswell · 07/10/2021 18:59

"What is it Del?"

"It's a little baby Rodney" 😂😂

ssd · 07/10/2021 18:59

I didn't know that, what a shame

Love this one. Trigger really was a legend.

The OF&H that got me was when Cassanda miscarriaged. It was Del's reaction.

MintyGreenDream · 07/10/2021 19:11

I challenge you to watch The que sera sera scene in The Queen Of Sheba Royle family special.Anyone who doesn't cry at that has a swinging brick instead of a heart.It gets me
.everytime.

Clawdy · 07/10/2021 19:20

Oh yes, the Cassandra miscarriage scene was heartbreaking. So well-acted.

DeePlume · 07/10/2021 19:22

The one where Rodney gets married brings a tear to my eye. When del is on his own in the room at end. But I love the next scene where Rodney comes in after work 😂

SummerBluez · 07/10/2021 19:23

Agree, I always get choked up when Del is all alone after Rodney's wedding holding the cake topper 😭

LittleBearPad · 07/10/2021 19:25

The lift scene after Cassandra’s miscarriage. 😭

absolutelynotfabulous · 07/10/2021 19:25

OFAH was such a classic. One Foot in the Grave is another one I can watch over and over again. Just realised Victor was the age I am now in itShock.

It's on iplayer. Just on the "garden gnomes" episode. Smile

'Knowing my luck,unc,if I believed in reincarnation,I've come back as my-bloody-self'

Del,If i was caught chicken molesting,it couldn't bring shame on this family!'

'During the war...'

John sulivan was a genius-everyone I know is an ofah's fan-from my 72 year old dad to my mates kid who's 8

We often quote lines from the show in our house

Graphista · 07/10/2021 19:43

I was gonna say it depends on the episode, that's a tough one, as is rodneys wedding and Cassandra's mc for me - the scene in the lift 😢

I see I'm not alone on these

Trigger and the broom he's had for years with all the different handles and ends has me in a laughing fit every single time. Honestly think it's one of the best pieces of comedy ever written
IfImLyingImDying · 07/10/2021 19:48

Aw thanks guys. I’m off to watch an episode now.

Hope your evening gets better op Flowers
