Yeah in the very first episode of OFAH, Del talks about the "bird " from school who was a right slapper and GTTL (got to the lads) and asked Boycie whatever happened to her...and Boycie replied he married her....Bet the actors were well nervous .... Freddie the frog dies not long after this...blowing up a safe,

Loved it some great one liners, I too thought Nicholas Lyndhurst did a brill job I saw Freddie no trace of Rodney, Can you imagine putting up with Joans boss these days? was PMSL at the that new stuff static off the nylon carpets and Delboys patter....and Slater LMAO smacked off his *i*s on breath freshners ...Pitty David Jason couldnt play Uncle Albert...even Renie Joanie best pal was in it who Joan Sims( her out of the carryon's) played in an episode .... but no Marlene..

I thought it was very good - but it was also sad watching Joanie because you know as a viewer that she died when Rodney was young (can't remember how old he was).

What happened to Joanie's husband in the original series? I can't remember him being mentioned a great deal.

That was his friend who moved to Australia ....Del was going to join him in business there but then Rodney couldn't get in because of his criminal record so they stayed behind.......Jumbo I think his name is. xx

Watched it, and though I enjoyed it, found it abit disjointed. I recognised who all the characters turned out to be, except one. He was the well made lad, who spend alot of time with Del Boy, possible name Sid.

I really enjoyed it !!

The line about his cousin who died in the coffee factory had me howling with laughter........I said it at the same time as he did but it still tickled me.

I thought Nicholas Lyndhurst did a really great job playing Freddy....for the first five minutes I expected someone to call him a plonker but after that he just became him.

I'd love the BBC to make a proper series out of it........I want more !!!xx

Watched "Rock and Chips" - not expecting it to be funny, but it was, the best bit was when Del and Rodney's mother said "she named Rodney after her favourite actor - ROD TAYLOR". I am related to Rod Taylor through the STURT family, another claim to fame, being "related" to Rodney from Only Fools and Horses.
