I liked Del Boy and Rodney running down the street dressed as Batman and Robin.  That was funny.

I always found Only Fools and Horses to be about as funny as cancer.

It's funnier than cancer. Not as funny as crabs.

Strange show though looking back.

Flirting with infidelity = funny?

And they managed to string that out.

Did she ever cheat on him in the end? I can't remember.

Reggie Perrin covered similar ground. But that was funny.

If you are interested in that sort of thing, you can get 10/1 on us to win the league with our new sponsor, Unibet.
It's a special that is offered to villa fans if you follow the unibet link via AVFC.co.uk.
The best other odds I have seen are 15/2.

I never bet on the Villa but have just put £25 down at 10/1.

C'MON ME BABBIES!!

250/1 and I might be tempted.

Just watched the England women's team and expect us to do the same this season.

Win ugly.

You have no soul.

Comedy for the masses, the easily pleased if you like.

Dont think so. I never made it to the final season.

I do recall a couple of mildly entertaining moments with the sons.

But it was definitely part  of the "well there is nothing else on TV so I guess we will watch this." era of home entertainment. I am glad those dark times are dead.

There was some fantastic stuff in Only Fools. Problem is they've been repeated so much that they lose a lot of the original impact and so you forget how great it was the first time you saw it.

They made way too many series as well. I remember quite liking the early stuff with Grandad but it just went on and on and in the end it gets diluted and you get sick of it. Less is more and all that.

I'd agree it went on too long. It should have ended when they won the money. It was still one of the greatest ever sitcoms, though.

From what I remember, it started to become more hit and miss from around the time Cassandra was in it. More miss than hit by the time of Damian. And that's when I stopped watching it very often so not sure how much longer it went on.

Sheffield Wednesday fans are falling over themselves about being done 2-0 by Rangers at home. It's not just our own support who have a panic about a friendly game.
