Are there any Only Fools and Horses fans out there? I can't wait for the one hour special on Christmas day. Although we only get repeats these days it is sill the funniest programme ever on television. Can anyone name a funnier one?

Well...............I'd go for Blackadder, as some of you probably know. But 'Fools and Horses', definitely run's it a close second.

Surely the funniest scene from any British sitcom of recent years is when Del and Trigger are in the wine bar. Del acting 'cool and cocky', Trigger being........well.......Trigger!

I can watch it over and over and over again!

Also the Batman and Robin sketch from the Christmas special a few years back. But also, when Del and Rodders are searching for Albert around Docklands to the accompaniement of 'We're so sorry Uncle Albert' by the Beatles in the background. Poignant!

It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry.......and the only way it'll make you hurl is through laughing so much!

Is the Chrimbo special still on? I thought there was a problem with ITV letting the Beeb use 'Millionaire'. Come on guy's, get together for the sake of the British public!

You per--------lonker!

"Only Fools and Horses is a BRILLIANT show but when you have to watch it repeated about 4 times a week on UKGold it gets a bit much.

Best comedy series ever on the telly, bar none...
Pity it does not transfer well over to American tv.
I, for one wouldn't mind watching continued repeats...
Much better than the 'Britcoms' they keep rehashing on the
public broadcasting channels.

Wez,
The Christmas edition is on about 9.00pm Christmas Day. Also there are another two follow ups early in the new year.

My funniest scene is when Del Rodney and Grandad go to some lords estate to clean the chandelier and grandad unscews the wrong one.
