2025-01-07 22:54:33 +0000 UTCMillwall is supposed to be a shit football team, supposedly. That's what I was told, since I don't care about football at all.

2024-10-10 14:59:19 +0000 UTCFawlty Towers definitely isn't the most popular. The claim Delboy is comes from a 2004 poll, something 20 years ago and before the Inbetweeners and many other programmes came out.
Grady Parsons
2024-10-10 14:03:55 +0000 UTCI don't think anyone owned one back then.
Grady Parsons
2024-09-22 00:48:11 +0000 UTCIt's a Reliant Regal. Even if it wasn't, it would be a "Reliant Robin".
Grady Parsons
2024-09-22 00:47:04 +0000 UTCIt's "Reliant Robin" and it isn't that model. It's what the other guy said.
Grady Parsons
2024-09-22 00:44:35 +0000 UTCAfter OFaH, you may be interested in Rock and Chips. It's a prequel to Only Fools, and stars James Buckley as Del. Its about their mother, Joan.

2024-05-02 00:38:02 +0000 UTCClose. Reliant Regal. Common misconception. Like Big Ben being the bell, not the tower.
Joe Thornhill
2023-12-14 06:38:03 +0000 UTCI was gonna comment on James Buckly playing Del boy.
Mammy Belle
2023-11-20 22:58:52 +0000 UTCI'm hyped that you have reacted to Only fools and horses.. my favourite of all time . and im happy you've done faulty Towers.
Mammy Belle
2023-11-20 22:58:08 +0000 UTCThe van is a Robin Reliant :)
Rebecca Musson
2023-08-15 10:08:08 +0000 UTCJohn Sullivan was a genius. Not sure if anyone has commented but after OFAH, you may be interested to watch Rock and Chips, the prequel. Starring James Buckley (what a muppet!)

2023-07-21 11:10:56 +0000 UTCMillwall won the FA Cup in 1936 winning 7-0 against Gateshead. Probably their biggest and most recent cup win.

Sorry not sorry
2023-04-07 11:36:47 +0000 UTCthe greatest British show of all time the best seasons are from like.. season 5 ish, please stick with this show its great :)
Jake Lol
2023-02-19 02:55:22 +0000 UTCLots of episodes mate, take your time with these, they're not about shock comedy (mostly!) or bad language, it's feel good humour that over time deals when the characters stories grow, becomes emotional in different ways.
Adi Hughes
2023-02-15 11:30:13 +0000 UTCI think it’s a common theme where sitcoms generally need a few episodes to really settle down. When I go back and watch early peep show or even this, it s quite apparent they haven’t aged too well. Only fools is brilliant but I think the early and really late episodes are weakest.
Daniel Broomhall
2023-02-14 21:22:30 +0000 UTCBrian has said Still game wasn't for him so dont think it will happen mate
Craig McCulloch
2023-02-14 20:02:05 +0000 UTCDont watch then, i find some other shows he watches poor so dont watch,
Aidan McGarrigle
2023-02-13 19:52:54 +0000 UTCHe has done the faulty towers one.
Matthew Pike
2023-02-13 17:38:31 +0000 UTCThe GOAT of comedies. So happy you're on this. Also hope you carry on with Bo Selecta and pick up again on Still Game
Chris Silverthorne
2023-02-13 16:06:27 +0000 UTCsorry but i cant find this show funny, a bit overhyped tbh but love the rest of your reactions :)
Fieryjack
2023-02-12 21:10:15 +0000 UTCYou always giving great reactions
Donna Mcknight
2023-02-12 18:33:16 +0000 UTCDon't know if it'll be up your street maybe watch a couple of clips first but I think Keeping Up Appearances will be another good one to react to I love it another great comedy to watch once you have got through the ones you are on
Donna Mcknight
2023-02-12 18:32:30 +0000 UTCPlease watch this every week regularly on a said day where possible and also Peepshow every week, either one of more episode would be great, Only fools get really good once you know all the charecters and the actors find there way, around series 2 to 3 onwards, the banter if superbly written, plenty of slang you won't understand sadly as your not English and the references will go over your head alot but what won't is the genuine humour, its not a rude adult show. These boys are your down to earth working men, that do what they need to to survive and get by in life and family is everything to them. Sadly most episodes are heavily edited on streaming services and tv/dvds nowadays, so alot of the jokes are cut out.Rising Damp is another old show that unbelievably funny and has excellent banter and charecters. If you do both of these shows ill continue supporting the channel Boomer. I personally think using a Go pro to record reactions is working against you when it comes to editing time also, the files end up to large and take ages uploading and longer if converted to smaller files.

2023-02-12 02:01:02 +0000 UTCThere are still plenty of council estates there that haven't yet been overrun by yuppies and faux bohemians, but like the rest of east and southeast London it's rapidly gentrifying. Time Out called it "London's coolest neighbourhood" in 2019.
Charlie
2023-02-12 01:39:23 +0000 UTCAlso, there's an episode of Fawlty Towers called 'The Germans'.... and I can't wait to see you react to it one day, seriously, you'll completely lose it!!!
Mark Jones
2023-02-12 01:32:54 +0000 UTCWhen I first watched this as a 17 year old all those years ago, never did I imgine that 42 years later I'd be watching an American chap who hadn't been born yet, watching it on a device and platform that was yet to be invented!
Simon Cross
2023-02-12 01:27:05 +0000 UTCI was 11 when this episode was first broadcast, we still only had 3 TV channels then, a lot of households still only had one TV and shows like this were watched by the whole family, I was the youngest in a family of 7 and we'd all watch this together, this is probably the first time I've watched this episode since then, everyone loved this show, the young and the old alike, I've never seen anyone react to full episodes before, this will be a fun journey! The van is a Reliant Regal 3 wheeler, there's a hilarious episode of TopGear where Jeremey drives the car version and keeps rolling it around corners! Actually talking of Clarkson, I started watching the second series of his show 'Clarkson's Farm' today, as the name suggests, he owns and runs his own farm, with hilarious consequences!!!
Mark Jones
2023-02-12 01:24:54 +0000 UTCAnd yeah, nobody carries briefcases any more. Thats why having Will in Inbetweeners carry one was such an excellent piece of writing in my opinion. Posh boy from private school, glasses - lots of folk wear glasses, speaks proper - lots of folk speak proper, give him something that people don't have these days.
Ryan Lynch
2023-02-12 00:03:42 +0000 UTCLook at those eyes... King Boomer definitely smokes muppet fur...
Ryan Lynch
2023-02-11 23:57:59 +0000 UTCYo, puff some herb, bro 😊
danny gibson
2023-02-11 23:57:02 +0000 UTCPlease continue this you will love it
Andrew Bojas
2023-02-11 23:17:28 +0000 UTCThank you king boomer for this upload I also look forward to more of this and benidorm upload but no rush take your time my great boomer
Des creggan
2023-02-11 23:16:33 +0000 UTCYeah, cos Peckham is a well select place to live nowadays lol.
Rob Walters
2023-02-11 22:30:10 +0000 UTCBrilliant reaction my friend (ooh fwiend) seriously get some rest mate, and also the three wheeled van, aka shit heap, is all part of the silliness of only fools and horses, love it!
Fozzie Bear
2023-02-11 22:24:16 +0000 UTCYessss
Craig Day
2023-02-11 22:12:55 +0000 UTCI wont let him lol
Craig McCulloch
2023-02-11 21:00:21 +0000 UTCGreat that you're starting this. If your intention is to go through each episode, make sure you don't miss the Christmas specials in between.
Joshua
2023-02-11 20:36:31 +0000 UTCHope you can get some rest man. Mind yourself.
Luke Delaney
2023-02-11 20:24:54 +0000 UTCin the sun sun sun *ahem*
Craig McCulloch
2023-02-11 19:48:38 +0000 UTCBud make sure you take time off if needed, nothing worse than burn out
Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan
2023-02-11 19:42:35 +0000 UTCThe van is called a robin reliant, it was a 3 wheeled van. Was made in the 70s, didn't stay in production that long because it was crap, but was popular with people who only had motorbike licences, as they could drive it because it was classed as a motorcycle as it only had 3 wheels
paul wylie
2023-02-11 18:21:41 +0000 UTCKing Boomer only has series 1 and I cant speak for him but I think its his intention to go episode by episode - asking to jump to xyz series is fruitless atm. Also he likes mixing stuff up so there is content everyone will like. He already has a bunch of shows he and Queen B are doing so just be patient for your next reaction you want. If he chooses to do it the next show he reacts to could be ' fun fun fun'
Craig McCulloch
2023-02-11 18:02:49 +0000 UTCWith regards to the time setting, the series was set during the period in which it was made, but Britain at the time was in the throes of a pretty lengthy period of economic strife and was probably a bit behind the times and wasn't an especially nice place, which is probably why it still looked like the seventies; London wasn't the hypergentrified "global city" it is today, it was actually quite seedy and run down, especially the part in which OFAH was set. I suppose that setting puts the whole show into context, it's about poor people trying to navigate Thatcher's Britain. It's why Britain fell in love with Americana in the eighties and people started watching Dallas and the NFL when they came to TV here, America was glamorous and exciting and contemporary, and Britain was stuck in the past.
Charlie
2023-02-11 17:58:43 +0000 UTCHERE WE GO. The start of the best journey youll ever make
makadeni123
2023-02-11 17:41:22 +0000 UTCLove to see you react to all of fawlty towers as well. Its a classic 😁
David fallows
2023-02-11 17:22:00 +0000 UTCYou're right when you say you think it gets better. It does with every episode. And the happy ending after 22 years is literally incredible.
Andy Waller
2023-02-11 16:55:50 +0000 UTCNot suprised about yt bbc is really fast on getting stuff taken down
Tim Salt (Tim Salt Writes)
2023-02-11 16:45:55 +0000 UTCIt gets lots better, you watch goodnight sweetheart Aswell, if you like war jokes
Michael Oliver
2023-02-11 16:21:17 +0000 UTCPlease watch every episode in order including all the specials. You'll love it. Queen needs to be involved aswell if possible. She'll also love it.
Andy Waller
2023-02-11 16:15:28 +0000 UTCSeries 1 never took off with popularity, it was due to be axed, but reruns a year later(1982) made it popular, series 1 has its funny moments! This episode is great for setting the character arcs. I wish though that grandad(Leonard pearce) was around a bit longer, bless his soul.
Ian Staines
2023-02-11 16:01:23 +0000 UTCOhhhh I haven't watched this in ages, nice one King!
James
2023-02-11 15:58:19 +0000 UTCLuvly jubly!!! My favourite of all time, grew up watching this through the years! David jason is an absolute legend!
Ian Staines
2023-02-11 15:57:48 +0000 UTCI agree wholeheartedly. As much as I love your reactions, take some time out if you need it.
Lee Organ
2023-02-11 15:48:59 +0000 UTCIt’s a great show. It gets better and better. You will get to see more characters along the way. Everyone of them has their own characteristics.
Graham Goldberg
2023-02-11 15:45:13 +0000 UTCOnce this show gets going it's an absolute classic. It ran from 1981-2003 and has a great storyline along the way as well laughs as always
Jehan Ariyaratnam
2023-02-11 15:42:32 +0000 UTCThis show gets stronger and stronger and peaks at series 6. But even series 7 is good. The later special episodes are iconic. I'm really pleased I get to watch them all over again with you.
Steve Read
2023-02-11 15:41:09 +0000 UTCWhat Rodney said was that when Del bought him short trousers to wear at school he was "growing hairs and things"
Jehan Ariyaratnam
2023-02-11 15:40:45 +0000 UTCYeah, definitely don't skip S1. As David said, it's important detail and character building that you need going forward.
Steve Read
2023-02-11 15:39:38 +0000 UTCNobody owns one now unless they are a 'briefcase wanker'.
Peter Andrews
2023-02-11 15:30:36 +0000 UTCS1 is weaker but still valuable in understanding the character development... There's also loads of references in future series of important points in their life and plot development from the first series so in my opinion, even though it takes a little while to get going, it's still essential that it's watched from the beginning... Not doing so will be confusing when watching some of the scene's that reference back to S1 in future seasons. There's also some very memorable scenes still in S1.
BigChanChan
2023-02-11 15:27:26 +0000 UTCDo feel free to take a week off if you (both) need it. No need to drive yourselves into the ground :) Also, maybe finish some of the shows you've already started on - just, again, to not wear yourselves out.
Mikkel Aarestrup
2023-02-11 15:26:40 +0000 UTCskip series 1 go straight to series 2
brownchopper
2023-02-11 15:04:11 +0000 UTCOmg I’m so happy you started this!!! Trust me, stick with it! The first series is a little slow but not only is it the funniest sitcom out there, but it has the best characters and the best story! You’ll grow to love them all, and to love the series!
Lee Organ
2023-02-11 15:02:52 +0000 UTCYaaas 🙌 some of the references may be dated nowadays but the heart and soul of the programme is there forever
