Added 2024-06-22 16:00:12 +0000 UTCI hope you join me in watching this as I was very interested in hearing about how this show was made!

Of course Rock and Chips is inferior to OFAH, but most shows are. it can't be topped. ..But you should still watch it. 👍🏽
Martyn Dawson
2025-02-20 09:37:30 +0000 UTCYou can't even spell his Surname. Linehan. He's an a fucking oddball that's dedicated his life to persecute trans people. An odd choice for anyone. His wife left him, everyone left him apart from the quite extreme rights and KKK Rowling. I'm sure they have some salient points, clocks stopped etc, but fucking hell... Dedicating your entire life to bitching on a minority of people? What cunts.
Jamie
2025-02-06 00:45:19 +0000 UTCHe actively laughed at sexual assault in prisons and said teenagers deserve to die for disagreeing with him. If you don't see whats controvertial then it's because you're choosing not to care.
Martin Clarkson
2024-10-03 00:51:04 +0000 UTC23:35... Graham Lindans crime.... he believes in biological sex. In other words, he lives in reality... how that's controversial I don't understand 🤔
Ross
2024-07-11 09:38:44 +0000 UTCAt least record an ep 1 reaction and see how you feel on it.

2024-07-08 23:46:57 +0000 UTCRock and chips is a bloody amazing drama prequel, it’s not like green green grass in that it’s not a sitcom and you get a better idea of the conditions the boys had to grow up with. It’s great honestly
Geraint Harrison
2024-07-08 23:39:14 +0000 UTCI haven’t read all the comments so it may already have been said but I think it was a mistake to make them poor again. They should have left it after the millionaire episode and made some specials as boomer said , set in that lifestyle… same opportunities for the comedy but in higher circles, why not billionaires the new goal.. anyway it’s all done now.. lucky to have had what we did.

2024-06-26 21:32:38 +0000 UTCEnjoyed the OFAH journey with you KB. I saw most of them when they were first broadcast but never ever rewatched them.
Julian T
2024-06-24 20:21:56 +0000 UTCYeh Gavin and Stacy is worth a watch. The storylines involving Corden’s character are hilarious. Rob Brydon is the highlight for me. Also a chance for KB to get some Welsh culture. He always says he loves the Welsh and I don’t think he’s watched a show set in Wales.
Julian T
2024-06-24 20:20:25 +0000 UTCLook forward to you reacting to the other 5 parts King Boomer!!
Luke Fisher
2024-06-24 09:15:01 +0000 UTCChrist, I forgot that Zod voiced this.
Joe Thornhill
2024-06-24 01:31:33 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, Ash X - I'm sure Seinfeld borrowed some things too, but Friends also borrowed heavily from Seinfeld, and Big Bang Theory borrowed heavily from Friends.
James Mulligan
2024-06-24 01:18:35 +0000 UTCI do give a fuck, I was just acknowledging that I get why other people might not. You obviously feel strongly about Galton and Simpson - so do I, Hancock's Half Hour is one of the greatest things ever created - and me and other people here, on a video about John Sullivan's Only Fools and Horses, are praising his work. You are the one coming across as aggressive, there are no burning torches, mate! Galton and Simpson were very clear and honest in recognising their own influences.
James Mulligan
2024-06-24 01:16:55 +0000 UTCI love Minder and remember my Dad letting me stay up to watch it when I was a kid but it is very hit and miss when you watch it back and certainly some of the casual -isms wouldn't play well nowadays.
Karl Rocks
2024-06-23 22:59:13 +0000 UTCExactly this...decent but not brilliant and people struggle to be objective about it. Corden is a horrible individual but it wouldn't stop me watching the show. I mean there are far worse people whose output I still enjoy.
Karl Rocks
2024-06-23 22:49:48 +0000 UTCJust watch Rock n Chips, it's literally just 3 episodes and is fantastic
Ross stewart
2024-06-23 22:16:59 +0000 UTCI loved Minder as a kid, but I rewatched an episode recently for the first time in probably 30 years and even I have to say it's one of those shows which hasn't aged well, I changed channels. One show I think you'd freaking love because it's full of muppetry of the highest order is 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' which is simply superb, also Nicholas Lyndhurst was in another show which I rank very highly when he was quite young called 'Butterflies' which was my favourite show on TV at the time it was on, it's just brilliant.
Mark Jones
2024-06-23 21:57:43 +0000 UTCRock and chips I feel ties in nicely with the overall story. Only 3x specials were made so they’re definitely worth a watch whenever you get a moment
Stephen Giles
2024-06-23 21:51:06 +0000 UTCI love the outtakes they show in one of the later episodes of this.
Stephen Giles
2024-06-23 21:48:41 +0000 UTCThis. Rock and chips is very underrated. I think because people assumed it was going to be a comedy when it was in fact much more of a dramady. I actually loved it
Kristopher Barton
2024-06-23 21:43:59 +0000 UTCRock & Chips is decent in its own right. Stay well clear of green green grass though
matthew edmonds
2024-06-23 20:45:42 +0000 UTCHave you watched series 1- 8 of 'Steptoe and Son' plus the two films? No? Well then I suggest you should. This isn't a case of borrowing ideas or parallel stroylines, this is blatant plagiarism. As I said earlier, it adds up that every other sitcom Sullivan penned was utter crap. Genius my batty crease!
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 19:42:41 +0000 UTCThere are parallel storylines across many sitcoms. I noticed how Frasier borrowed many ideas from Seinfeld episodes in the later series, but no one says Frasier isn't a genius show. Borrowing ideas is one thing, but writing funny dialogue and characters and situations is another thing.
Ash X
2024-06-23 19:36:04 +0000 UTCDavid Jason went full cockney there when he explained how they talked 😆
Jehan Ariyaratnam
2024-06-23 19:07:32 +0000 UTCGavin & Stacey is an interesting one. It was beloved when it released and continued to be a cult classic until the last couple of years, where there started to become this revisionist history stating that it was never good and was never liked by anyone. For me it's a watchable 3/5 show that's over-hated by people that don't like James cordon, and overrated by those that consider it in the best 3-5 UK comedies, but worth a watch none the less
ryung246
2024-06-23 15:28:24 +0000 UTCjust react to only fools again!
Jp
2024-06-23 13:59:09 +0000 UTCI think most normal people with common sense love a bit of muppetry as well. P.S. JK Rowling has gone higher in my estimation also, despite being demonised by the 'leftwaffe'
Fordy7169
2024-06-23 13:43:39 +0000 UTCGavin and Stacey is great. Like you've said the comedy "edgelords" dismiss it because of Corden, and the fact that it's geared more towards heartwarming comedy as opposed to edgy cynical laddish comedy. I think it would be a perfect show for both KB and QB to react to.
Jay
2024-06-23 13:15:35 +0000 UTCYh I know that’s why I said (if you can) on my original post. I think I’ve got it on dvd somewhere and they’ve probably repeated occasionally, probably on GOLD, but no idea how KB would find it in America. Would be good if he could do as it’s really interesting and more about ‘how it was made and came about’ rather than just showing highlights and the actors talking about parts of the show.
William Clark
2024-06-23 12:44:39 +0000 UTCYes Steptoe and Son is a classic. I like the one where Leonard Rossiter plays one of the 2 escaped convicts who break into Harold and Albert's house divide the house in 2. Great writing and acting in that one. Talking of Leonard Rossiter 'Rising Damp' was also one the best UK comedies I've ever seen, very underrated.
Fordy7169
2024-06-23 12:40:42 +0000 UTCDifficult to find on YouTube, maybe on another platform/
Fordy7169
2024-06-23 12:32:57 +0000 UTCThey spread out the clips over the loosely themed 6-part series, so it's in a later one I think.
Fordy7169
2024-06-23 12:31:36 +0000 UTCkb i love you but im going to have to go on a little rant here... the fact that you dont want to react to the green green grass because you are worried about it not being as good as only fools and horses.. no show is as good as only fools in my opinion but by that logic you wouldnt react to another british show.. because no show is as good? ya know? because its rated the best british show of all time, the green green grass is a GOOD show not perfect but worth watching (in my opinion), the green green grass isnt really a OFAH spinoff, its a completely different show but just has boycie in, also i have to mention gavin and stacey, you are missing out on such a great show, just because a few cry babies dont like james corden, yes he became abit of a dick but he said sorry for it, people act like he kicks kittens for a living, he plays a great role in gavin and stacey and i hope you get round to it :) you should react to what YOU want to react to, if you dont want to react to those 2 shows thats fine! anyway no hate.. i love you and queen and princess boomer! i just had to get that off my chest lmao keep up the good work ya muppet!!!

Bikeaholic
2024-06-23 07:16:42 +0000 UTCIt's one of my favourite shows of all time but I just didn't have time to watch your reactions as you do so many I can only manage to keep up with about 3 of your shows at any one time, but I'm glad you seemed to have enjoyed it, I remember when as a teen I worked in my local Safeway and the real car from the show was on display in the shopping mall as it did a nationwide tour, the show was that big! Another older show which I rate as highly as OFAH is 'Porridge', I hope you get around to watching that one day as you'll definitely love it and that's my all time favourite show, after Jam of course, you HAVE to do Jam one day, I don't care how often you'll have to pause it!!!🤣
Mark Jones
2024-06-23 05:07:28 +0000 UTCI'm fine, just some people don't like to hear it and I feel Galton and Simpson should get the recognition they deserve also.
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 04:19:25 +0000 UTCSteptoe and Son regularly got 28 million viewers, and they even cancelled a general election and moved it so that more people would vote on a night when it wasn't broadcast!
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 04:18:02 +0000 UTCWhy everyone has to get the hump and be so aggravated is beyond me. Not my fault the hero you worship turns out to be just like anyone else. Fucking hell, talk about the mob with burning torches..
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 04:16:44 +0000 UTCSo, for not giving a fuck you've replied... ok. Sorry but if it isn't important, why is everyone mentioning it? lol.
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 04:15:32 +0000 UTCThe Steptoe episode 'Full House'. Watch that then OFAH 'A Losing Streak'. The plot and storyline copies are sometimes blatant and sometimes subtle but always there. Harold falls in love with a stripper (Racquel), They think the abandoned baby is Jesus (Damien as the devil), Albert pretends he's been mugged rather than accept responsibility for breaking Harold's antiques even saying there were 6 of them (Albert getting beaten up by Knock Knock), Albert is being looked gor by Frankie Barrows gang and Barrow is little more than a midget but a Kray like figure (The Driscoll Brothers looking for Del) There are a million more if you watch Steptoe series.
Rob Walters
2024-06-23 04:14:25 +0000 UTCI wouldn't recommend Rock and Chips. I'm not saying it's bad but if you want to maintain the perfect feeling of OFAH, then the fact that it was sadly never finished due to the writer's death may disturb that
Fyrealis
2024-06-23 01:29:33 +0000 UTCNot a comedy show. Maybe if the England football team reach the World Cup Final.
Fordy7169
2024-06-23 01:04:05 +0000 UTCYou should watch Minder

James Ellison
2024-06-23 00:21:06 +0000 UTCI have to agree much better story of only fools with just interviews with John, David & Nicolas
L P
2024-06-23 00:19:07 +0000 UTCIt's how comedy - and most forms of art/performance - works. Galton and Simpson were absolutely brilliant, although I rate Hancock's Half Hour well above Steptoe and Son (could say that it was the actual original London working class sitcom too, given that Tony's character only had aspirations of rising up into a higher class). The were open about being influenced by Will Hay, and Denis Norden and Frank Muir. Will Hay was influenced by W.C. Fields, Fields no doubt had his own influences. All of them produced work that was influenced but with their own nuances and life experiences colouring their output, as did John Sullivan. The Beatles were influenced by Dylan in the late '60's, but their output still sounded like The Beatles, even if they 'borrowed' some ideas. Apologies for waffling on, I agree with Wayne that nobody (else) probably gives two flying f's about this, and I'm sure that extends to my reply, I just couldn't help myself having read Rob's post!!
James Mulligan
2024-06-22 23:23:30 +0000 UTCI’m surprised they didn’t show anything about the bar scene here
Rhys Jones
2024-06-22 23:13:12 +0000 UTCThis 6-episode series you're watching now is quite recent. I think maybe only a few years old shown on UKTV channel GOLD. It was made after John Sullivan had sadly passed away. There is another documentary about OFAH from shortly after the final episode in 2003. It's one episode and on for around 90 minutes. I think it's called 'The Story of Only Fools and Horses' as well but for me it is better than this one as we hear from John Sullivan a lot about his upbringing and how he got influenced for the characters and some of the plots for episodes. Maybe you might want to watch that episode (If you can) as well after you've watched this six-part series. There's definitely stuff in that episode that you'll find really interesting!
William Clark
2024-06-22 23:12:39 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of absolute classics, but I agree with your choice, Lee. I've watched it so many times that I can recite parts of the script like some kind of unwelcome spoken word karaoke, but it still, inexplicably, makes me laugh every time, and gives me that warm nostalgic feeling every time too.
James Mulligan
2024-06-22 23:06:20 +0000 UTCDon’t watch the spin offs they will ruin it for you
Jay D
2024-06-22 22:55:08 +0000 UTCthe green green grass it actually pretty good, not sure why you are comparing it with ofah, its just another show to watch :)
Jake Lol
2024-06-22 22:44:04 +0000 UTCVideo killed the radio star and Streaming Platforms killed the TV star. Doubt the UK will ever see viewing numbers like that again

2024-06-22 22:19:32 +0000 UTCSee you were right it’s those wholesome moments even they said it
Mark Parker
2024-06-22 22:16:44 +0000 UTCFinish these off, never seen them personally but seem decent. I'd definitely recommend Rock and Chips. It's less comedy more drama admittingly but it gives you a bit more on the lore. Green Green Grass is fine it's not amazing but definitely funny-ish. Put it on the ever expanding backlog
Matt
2024-06-22 21:57:29 +0000 UTCIt's good to see so many other sensible people in these comments. Who would have thought a Kingy B thread would be home to the sane critical thinkers 😂
Daryl
2024-06-22 21:50:57 +0000 UTCAnd he, and others like him, are being shouted down for saying "a 45 year old man shouldn't be able to just call himself a woman, walk into a woman's toilet or changing room and get his co*k out in front of a 12 year old girl, and then the girl is told she is a bigot for complaining or being upset"...
Ryan Lynch
2024-06-22 21:48:30 +0000 UTC@Rob Walters You're pretty much showing a level of naivety and ignorance on the whole subject Rob. It's kinda sad that you're objectifying every Trans person as "mentally ill", when they're just human beings trying to deal with gender dysphoria. What you're doing is lumping those "6ft, 28 Stone Brickies" in with people who generally go through difficult mental and physical transition. I think that's where the problem lies, when alot of people jump on the bandwagon of trying to portray themselves as "trans" by simply changing their pronouns and putting on a dress, which ironically does more harm to people who have to go through that difficult transition.
Jay
2024-06-22 21:43:38 +0000 UTCI've watched several Steptoe and Son over the years (but once) and many OFAH episodes repeatedly. Any examples of this? Apart from the older "paternal" character holding the younger character back in some way. I am not denying what you are saying. Just genuinely curious now you mentioned it.
Ryan Lynch
2024-06-22 21:42:39 +0000 UTCI definitely think you should do Rock & Chips. Its not really set up as a full on comedy. Its more of a drama giving you their backstory
David Ridley
2024-06-22 21:41:54 +0000 UTCKB, to put the OFAH viewing figures in context the '85 Xmas special was watched by 31% of the approx. 55 million UK pop. equivalent to the USA, at the time, having 74 million watching 1 show. The '96 final Xmas episode was 42% of the UK, equivalent to a USA '96 figure of 113 million viewers. Calculators are a wonderful invention.

Wayne2605
2024-06-22 21:18:47 +0000 UTC100%. There's nothing controversial about what he said whatsoever. It shouldn't even be a debate.
Daryl
2024-06-22 21:16:01 +0000 UTCYes all he said was, in his opinion, that maybe encouraging children/young adults to undergo sexual gender-change medication/puberty blockers and surgery was a bad idea for that person in the long run. He and others have since been vindicated by the official report submitted to the NHS by Dr. Hilary Cass in April just gone. So listening to him is not a problem. Don't bow down to the extreme left-wing LGBTQ... mentalists who think nothing of ruining other people's careers and lives because someone thinks differently.

Brian Moran
2024-06-22 20:54:28 +0000 UTCCan't watch this. Only a second in and it's all lies. John Sullivan did NOT come up with OFAH entirely on his own. These idiots hailing him a 'genius' and other accolades are entirely incorrect. Sullivan 'borrowed' (a nicer term than stole) many of his storyline, plots an jokes from what was the original London working class sitcom, and his personal favourite, 'Steptoe and Son' by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. The evidence is there for all to see. Galton and Simpson were the 'geniuses' not Sullivan. Anyone that thinks I'm chatting shit or just being an arsehole, then watch 'Steptoe and Son' from series 1 - 8 and you'll see I am right. Even in the first film of 'Steptoe and Son' (1972) there are examples... Harold falls for a stripper (so does Del), Harold and Albert think the abandoned baby in the stable is Jesus (Sullivan flips it so Rodney thinks Damien is the devil)... Sullivan admitted he had been 'influenced' by it and jokingly said he never knew of DVDs , Videos back then, and thought the episodes wouldn't be seen again. John Sullivan was a good writer, bit all this 'genius' bollocks, when he clearly took others' ideas is a bit much. The most obvious example is the Steptoe episode 'Full House'. Watch that and then watch the OFAH episode 'A Losing Streak' and prepare to be gutted if you're a Sullivan worshipper. Lastly, if he was such a genius as everyone claims, how comes most of his other written sitcoms were utter shit? 'Dear John' was crap, 'Just Good Friends' so boring it should be used as anaesthetic, 'Sitting Pretty' appalling and 'Citizen Smith' was simply a one joke piece that dragged on for 3 years.
Rob Walters
2024-06-22 20:47:03 +0000 UTCYes, definitely!
Kieran B
2024-06-22 20:34:30 +0000 UTCDefinitely!!!
Lee Organ
2024-06-22 20:31:59 +0000 UTCI have a question for you king b…. What would you say is your favourite episode of the whole series? If you could pick just one? Tough choice, isn’t it?
Lee Organ
2024-06-22 20:31:10 +0000 UTCYou are actually placing a fake Twitter account that may post some uncomfortable truths and the fact J.K Rowling calls a man a'man' , high on a list of things to be worried about? You say Rowling states the 'truth' because she is a 'bitter, nasty woman' - that's insane. She says it because its true and the more acceptance of this mentally illness is forced on society then God help us all. How anyone can assert that a man can become a woman in every facet and chromosome is terrifying lunacy and the reason we are tolerating these Norman Bates weirdos is (don't laugh) to spare their feelings........ WHAT?!! Everyone has their feelings trodden on and no one has the right to go through life free from criticism, ridicule and mockery - especially not a 6 ft, 28 stone brickie who suddenly goes by the name Hetty Wainthropp.
Rob Walters
2024-06-22 20:26:19 +0000 UTCRock and Chips is worth a watch, ‘Jay’ is Del, it’s only 3 eps - you can probably leave Green Green Grass
Kieran B
2024-06-22 20:24:03 +0000 UTCAfter Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, the writers of 'Steptoe and Son' - the original working class London sitcom and the one John Sullivan 'borrowed' many of his storylines, plots and jokes for OFAH from.
Rob Walters
2024-06-22 20:21:27 +0000 UTCI didn't even know this existed. Fantastic watch. Looking forward to the rest.
Rob Green
2024-06-22 20:21:13 +0000 UTCRock and Chips is really good, very much in the drama/comedy style of the specials.
Jamie
2024-06-22 20:12:15 +0000 UTCRIP John Sullivan, the essence of Only Fools. The best comedy writer we’ve ever had in Britain
Sam Dilks
2024-06-22 20:09:31 +0000 UTCRock and Chips, and Green Green Grass, are both inferior to Only Fools and Horses. But you should still watch them because almost everything is. They're funny!
ALW
2024-06-22 20:08:47 +0000 UTCwould love to see you react to porridge with ronnie barker from the two ronnies after we finish only fools its a great show
sean fealey
2024-06-22 20:03:14 +0000 UTCI'm on board for more of these, this was a nice catch up. Lord Grade is a huge name in ITV and BBC TV as was his uncle Lew Grade. I love that he said 'Minder' was the best show on ITV, maybe you'll get round to this one day but you should also try 'Porridge' or 'Rising Damp' both well written comedies from the same era as OFAH or something else by John Sullivan would be good too. I love these old classics.
Jason Bonner
2024-06-22 20:02:38 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, love hearing everyone talk so highly of the show and each other. Fantastic cast!
Rebecca Musson
2024-06-22 19:58:29 +0000 UTCYou're not wrong about The Green Green Grass, that was a real let down. Rock And Chips was slightly better, but still not worth checking out imo. If you're afraid of disappointment I really wouldn't watch either
I-Love-My-Brick
2024-06-22 19:54:09 +0000 UTCIgnore what you've heard about Graham Linehan. He was absolutely right about what he said. The truth doesn't care about people's feelings, nor should it. Unfortunately the mental mob are always the loudest and set out to ruin him. He's a normal guy that's concerned about the batshit way society is going and being normalised like we all should be.
Daryl
2024-06-22 19:46:41 +0000 UTCFor every good argument Linehan and Rowling make, they seem to push it to the point of bigotry, completely undermining their supposed intentions. For instance, amongst other things Linehan decided it would be a good idea to create false and derogatory twitter accounts under the guise of "comedy" trans women, to push his weirdly obsessive hate. As does Rowling, who seems to be adamant in calling every Trans woman a "man" for no other reason that to be a nasty bitter woman, as well as supporting extreme Transphobic groups. Both have valid arguments to make, but when you push your arguments into basic bigotry, it does nothing but show hateful transphobia, which is nothing to admire or celebrate. I don't agree with any side that bullies another, especially the bullying both Linehan and Rowling have received, but I don't think it's a good thing to treat them as some kind of truth telling pariahs either. It's just a flip side of the negative toxic division over this whole topic.
Jay
2024-06-22 19:21:40 +0000 UTCSpot on 👏🏻👏🏻

2024-06-22 19:18:13 +0000 UTCGood decision on not doing rock and chips, it's not even mediocre, it's absolutely gash!
Daryl
2024-06-22 19:17:28 +0000 UTCGreat stuff KB. If you enjoy this, would recommend "Monty Python: Almost the Truth", a 6 part documentary about their career that came out in 2009 that is as entertaining as a lot of what they did on screen.
William Forsyth
2024-06-22 19:00:42 +0000 UTCI agree about the OFAH spin offs, but you should definitely check out Goodnight Sweetheart. I think that's right up your street.

2024-06-22 18:42:13 +0000 UTCIt did get huge audiences but to put it into context we only had 4 TV channels back then, so there weren't a lot of options.

2024-06-22 18:25:23 +0000 UTCRock and chips is more of a story than a comedy. I really enjoyed it it’s definitely worth watching.

2024-06-22 18:24:31 +0000 UTCHave you heard Graham Linehan speak though, he's no hater, give him a chance. idk, maybe you want to see women's sports taken over or ok with a woman with a big hairy cock changing in the pool by your daughter. Pretty reasonable takes if you ask me, which nobody is, lol.

Rhys Jones
2024-06-22 18:03:48 +0000 UTCYa for sure, and the cast is pretty good too.

2024-06-22 17:59:34 +0000 UTCPlease do Rock & Chips. It is so good

2024-06-22 17:59:29 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, KB! This is a fantastic 6 part documentary. I wouldn't bother with The Green, Green Grass as it's four series and really lacklustre in my opinion. However, Rock and Chips is well worth watching. It's first and foremost a drama with a few funny bits, but it provides a bit of historical context to Only Fools and Horses where The Green Green Grass is just a disappointing spin off with barely any connection to the original show after the first episode.

2024-06-22 17:46:05 +0000 UTCYou're right about the prequals.. go in with lower expectations
James Aston
2024-06-22 17:44:12 +0000 UTCThink back to episode A Frogs legacy and the last episode, they are all about rock and chips.
Daniel Poole
2024-06-22 17:34:48 +0000 UTCI personally think that the documentary just gave us a preview of the next series to react to. So as suggested the next reaction should be Minder!

2024-06-22 17:33:45 +0000 UTCRock & Chips is a must.
Daniel Poole
2024-06-22 17:33:33 +0000 UTCRock and Chips gives a fantastic origin and you learn how Del Boy become the man he is. It's makes Only Fools and horses better. It's Comedicaly different but so well written. The Green Green Grass is alright, but it's extremely different, you may not like it.
Daniel Poole
2024-06-22 17:33:08 +0000 UTCyour in mourning for the end of the show lol, like when a dog dies and you need time before getting another puppy.

2024-06-22 17:33:04 +0000 UTCGraham Linehan often talks uncomfortable truths/facts, (riling many activists and extremists on Twitter/X who peddle nonsense as facts, especially re gender and sexuality at the moment.). As a result he now suffers from abuse and intimidation on social media and elsewhere. Very similar to what has happened to JK Rowling , and also the former British swimming olympic medals winner, Sharron Davies. None of their harrassers seemed to consider the situation of vulnerable children and teenagers in the debate or the welfare and fairness of and for biological females. All three of them give as good as they get on Twitter though. Graham and JK like many creative people in the arts are socialist in attitude, but they seem to have switched their focus to defending themselves and pointing out scientific facts etc, not particularly pleasing SOME of their fellow socialist peers. Don't know if you're aware, but Nicholas Lyndhurst and his wife's son tragically died about 15 years ago. Their son was only in his late teens I think. It seems that Nick then dropped out of the pubic eye until only a few years ago, when he was in a U.S. drama or comedy drama. Btw, I'm doing this from mermory so I apologise for any errors with estimated dates, ages re that sad event etc.

2024-06-22 17:27:13 +0000 UTCSo glad you’re doing this! Would be gutted if you didn’t do at least rock and chips though ngl 😂 And green green grass would be nice but I get why it would seem like a big commitment

Tony Bremner
2024-06-22 17:21:22 +0000 UTCGreen Green Grass is understandable because it's 32 episodes and a bit of a commitment (plus I don't think it's very good). But Rock and Chips is only three episodes.

2024-06-22 17:19:37 +0000 UTCAgreed. It's still interesting as a backstory if you're a fan 😊

2024-06-22 17:16:32 +0000 UTCYa same,I enjoyed it. Its not going to be as good ,coz what is haha. But definitely a fun show.
Nothinghalo
2024-06-22 17:12:17 +0000 UTCI agree... Open All Hours is the only other show that features David Jason that comes close to Only Fools And Horses for me... In fact, Open All Hours is as enjoyable and funny for me too but I'm not sure if it would be KBs bag.

2024-06-22 17:03:59 +0000 UTCI’ve not watched Green Green Grass and Rock and Chips so can’t persuade you haha
Graham Goldberg
2024-06-22 17:00:09 +0000 UTCI personally think you are spot on about green grass and rock and chips. Ok on their own merits but a comedown for sure... only my thoughts though
Gem Lou
2024-06-22 16:49:43 +0000 UTCDeffo watch it again with QB 👍🏻

2024-06-22 16:20:18 +0000 UTCDon’t forget small far away the story of father ted

2024-06-22 16:13:27 +0000 UTCI would love to see you react to Rock & Chips. I think it's worth watching.
Beccy
2024-06-22 16:11:45 +0000 UTCIn it. I'm guessing I have seen most episodes like 15 times each if not far more haha
Nothinghalo
2024-06-22 16:11:23 +0000 UTCRock and chips was a fun show. Only a sort one if you do watch it. And I have not watched this documentary so that's kool to see. 👌
Nothinghalo
2024-06-22 16:06:35 +0000 UTCDefinitely worth watching if a fan, lots of good info. I wonder if you'll rewatch the series ever. Us lot have probably seen them all hundreds of times, they're evergreen classics.

2024-06-22 16:05:24 +0000 UTCThrilled you've reacted to this! 💖
