    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Always before a live studio recording of Only Fools and Horses (1981), Lyndhurst and David Jason used to go to the canteen and have the same meal, almost like a ritual or a superstition, because they used to get so nervous.
    • Quotes
      I can't think of Only Fools... (Only Fools and Horses (1981)) without smiling - if it can make you smile after 30 years, that's good.
