Synopsis

The unforgettable special feature-length Christmas cracker from 1989 in which Del meets Raquel again and Rodney jumps to disastrous conclusions with Cassandra. It's a typically tearaway Trotter's treat - an extra large helping of luvvly jubbly...

Del is organising the annual beano to Margate, the traditional Jolly Boys' Outing. But Rodney and Cassandra have just celebrated their first wedding anniversary and she's worried about him going out with the boys - especially as she's angling for promotion with her yuppie boss. When Rodders is arrested and the whole party is stranded by a very nasty accident, her worst fears are realised. But there's more to Margate than chips, cockles, ice-cream, doughnuts, Pina Colada and lobster vindaloo. There's magician The Great Ramondo and his assistant Raquel.

I won't be buying Only Fools & Horses DVDs again! Why are the BBC releasing DVDs with scenes cut?
Review date: 2007-11-17 Rating: 4 out of 10

Why have the BBC released it with a good 10 minutes of scenes cut? I've read that a lot of the Only Fools and Horses DVDs are like that. Why have the BBC done that? It completely spoils it for me. If you bought a book with pages missing you wouldn't be happy, so why settle for this. Do the BBC think their licence fee paying public are too thick to notice? I'm completely at a loss to understand why they do this!

masterpiece,yet again
Review date: 2007-05-22 Rating: 10 out of 10

the christmas special 1989 is again another 48 carrot gold gem,like so many of the specials,its very hard to say which one is the best,the jollys boy outing is certainly up with them in terms of one liners,memorable scenes and the cast is packed with the legends and the minor characters who are all forged together in this masterpiece.
The show centres around newly married rodney who isnt impressed with his wife cassies new yuppy boss,del being del who identifies himself as a yuppy and feels that he and the boss,stephen,share an identity,when they clearly dont,tries to bond with him but ends up looking a right wally.
Every year as is nags head tradition the regulars head off to the seaside for beer and sun for a day,so off they go and trouble follows fast,including rodney getting arrested for hitting a policeman with a football and the coach blowing up,plus we see del meet racquel aqain after their split months earlier.There is much more to that than what i state but needless to say this is a belter of an episode and a fool would be the one who doesnt take a chance on this.


Great special, but where are the extras?
Review date: 2006-01-03 Rating: 8 out of 10

This is an excellent example of mid-period OFAH, the characters are on the verge of maturing into the family life they inhabited later on but haven't quite got there yet. All the actors (including supporting cast) clearly know exactly what to do with their characters, although Trigger, Boycie, Denzil etc seem a bit underused here despite being on camera a lot.

As a DVD though, I only bought this because it's on special offer. At full price it feels a bit of a let down as it has absolutely no extras whatsoever. You would think there'd be enough interviews and documentaries in the BBC archives to make up at least some bonus material, and there are enough supporting actors that at least one of them should have been able to do a commentary, but this DVD has none of this. It appears to be a cash-in. That's why it loses one star.

One of the very best!

There is no such thing as a bad OFAH episode. The worst episode would be better than the best episode of another sitcom. On that note, Jolly Boy's Outing was truly one of the funniest and best ever. I could not stop laughing throughout.

The last of the Greats!!!
Review date: 2005-03-01 Rating: 10 out of 10

This has to be the last of the great episodes of 'Only Fools and Horses'!
With great comedy moments including the 'yuppie' dinner at Rodder's flat and the game of Trivial Pursuit to the coach blow up and the night in Margate, this truly lives up to the spirit of British comedy at its ultimate best!
Del Boy and Rodney were the ideal icons of the 1980s!!!
