A family legend has it that, when I was six or seven, I wanted to be a barmaid. Not just any barmaid, but Bet Lynch of the Rovers Return. Nearly three decades later as a fashion journalist, it’s an anecdote I’m proud of. Those spangly tops, power-shoulder skirt suits and leopard-print everything say fierce, fearless and fabulous Come to think of it, it’s very autumn/winter 2018 (note to self: pitch piece on why Coronation Street is a sartorial archive ripe to mine this season). This scene is an excellent example of advising viewers how not to behave in the kitchen. So much so that Rodney accidentally leaving the kettle on is the least of their worries. Keeping the kettle on the gas, the kitchen fills up with steam and leaving the kitchen with a giant hole in the wall. Condensed walls and alarms going off build up to the big moment when Grandad realises they've killed their pet canary. Arguments fly between the trio in a kitchen that's clearly seen better days. Whatever you could expect to go wrong, multiply the number of mishaps tenfold. Comedy acting is a lot to do with timing, and David has got very good timing; like all the great ones from Eric Morecambe to Steve Martin . I have the feeling that Nicholas was not really into fame. After shooting he used to wear a floppy cloth cap and nobody used to bother or recognize him. He never really does interviews or looks to be in the limelight.

One of the co-stars from that epic show opened up last year about up about the “magic” of stars David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

Heroes and Villains" is the thirteenth Christmas special episode of the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, first broadcast on 25 December 1996 as the first part of the 1996 Christmas trilogy. It attracted a UK television audience of 21.3million, at the time a record for the show. In the episode, Del and Rodney are invited to a fancy dress party. They arrive dressed as Batman and Robin. I dream of being a bit more like Villanelle (without the psychopathic tendencies, of course). She takes the same approach to her clothes as she does to everything else in her life: which is to indulge, devour, and exist for the simple end goal of pleasure and play. Her life is hilariously decadent: the fridge full of champagne, a dresser scattered with French perfumes and gold-embossed powder puffs. Before one kill, she fingers the victim’s silk bed throw, asking him where he got it from. She loves luxury, because why shouldn’t she? Who wouldn’t want to lie in silk sheets, walk through the Champs Élysées in Miu Miu, go clubbing in Berlin in a Dries van Noten suit, gatecrash a garden party in Burberry lace? I would, if I could afford it. At Del's request, he and Rodney go to the party dressed as Batman and Robin respectively, but their Reliant Regal van breaks down halfway there and they have to run the rest of the way. En route they interrupt an attempt to mug Councillor Murray, emerging from the fog dressed as Batman and Robin which scares away the thugs. Del and Rodney arrive at the party, unaware that the publican, Harry Malcolm, had in fact died the day before and the fancy dress has thus been cancelled in favour of a wake (a fact that Boycie, who met them in the doorway, "forgot" to mention), and they burst into the main room humming the Batman theme tune. Buster was always happy,” he says. “But I remember us having to keep reshooting the scene where he mistook the coffee and gravy when Raquel’s family ate dinner.The Batman and Robin scene from the episode was partially re-created by actors during the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony. Obviously there are a lot more channels around now, but it was a show that the whole family could look forward to it, sit down and laugh together over Christmas.” Of course, I really wanted to be Angel. Handsome, broody, chest gaping from a satin shirt with one too many buttons open. And the object of adoration for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, despite being undead and occasionally evil. However, being a self conscious teenager baring my chest was out of the question, curly hair is never going to behave in angular spikes like that of David Boreanaz – and where do you even get a satin shirt from? In a 2001 poll, Heroes and Villains was voted the UK's favourite Christmas show of all time, [1] receiving 35% of the vote in a survey of 1,500 viewers. [2]

The Seventies top show was the splashdown of Apollo 13 - 28.6million viewers and a decade later soap EastEnders 1986 Christmas special ruled with 30.15million Most Read Only Fools and Horseswas one of the greatest 20th-century sitcoms aired on British screens. The lovable comedy followed the Trotter brothers in London, who'll sell anything in the hopes of becoming rich. First broadcast in 1981, the sitcom ran for seven series over a decade, and was watched by millions nationwide. Now, theatregoers can reunite with Del Boy and Rodney Trotter again in Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, as the garish Reliant Robin is parked in the West End. It was an extraordinary gift and it was fine line between making something brilliant and nonsense - and those three episodes were genius.”Throughout this Only Fools and Horses moment, one thing is very clear. Trigger is very proud of his broom. But he's not the only one who is impressed by his tools. While talking in a café, Trigger shares with Del Boy and Rodney about his road sweeper broom that he's had for 20 years and how he received a medal for saving the council money. Talking about what it takes to keep a broom pristine, he later mentions that the broom's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles. Cue the looks of despair from the gang, and the inevitable question: "How the hell can it be the same broom then?" Michael says David Jason loved playing the role of Del Boy, but never made too much of his stardom.

He was quite successful thanks to Open All Hours and Porridge. And he was so talented that I think he would have made it regardless.” The Only Fools and Horses musical includes all of the iconic characters, including Del Boy, Rodney, Cassandra, Grandad and Trigger. There's a new story for Only Fools and Horses musical, which sees Del Boy wanting to fall in love, as well as Rodney and Cassandra planning their upcoming nuptials. It's a continuation of the television series, with all the on-screen moments thrown in for good measure. Best bits of Only Fools and Horses on television And Nicholas was as vital in the team. The humour and best lines came from David, but they had to be fed by Nicholas. And in comedy the feed is just as important getting the laugh line.Only Fools and Horses fans will remember the first time they saw the well-known duo run onto their screens in fancy dress. In the same episode as the broom antics (we told you there's a lot of funny moments), Rodney and Del Boy dress up as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party. But nothing is quite as it seems in Only Fools and Horses, and the fancy dress is actually a funeral wake. Yikes! They cannot do it without John writing the words of Del and Rodney. And even if someone brought them a script i don’t think they could do it because they have lost so many characters - Mike the barman, Trigger and Uncle Albert. They would have to cast a completely new set for the show and I cannot see that working. However the woes soon turned to smiles when Del discovered the vintage watch which led to them earning a fortune - and then the episode playing out with the two brothers walking into the sunset as millionaires.
