Worst Only Fools episode. Page 8

In the Rock N Roll episode Del uses Rodney's membership in a band (and hopes and dreams) to make a bit of money. That wasn't very likeable either. So it's not that atypical.

It is not atypical for Del to be a self-centred arse, no. But in A Royal Flush he goes far beyond the established realms of his obnoxious selfishness to be just plain cruel with no mitigation whatsoever.

Wot he said!

The Russians Are Coming is the worst episode for me. Few laughs and very slow going from start to finish.

This is one of my secret faves of the 30 minuters. Is this the international "Let's take the piss out of Gordon Bennet"-Day? :D

Pfft, if you had the decency to have the same opinion as everyone else there wouldn't be a problem! ;)

Don't know if I've already said this but that Miami shit has to take the biscuit.

I thought the same when I first seen it, though over time and after many viewings I really quite like it.

The worst episode is If They Could See Us Now for many reasons. It kickstarted the godawful final trilogy which pissed upon the show's canon. It featured that terrible quiz show plot strand and finally it featured a Ricky Martin song.

Sleepless In Peckham, obviously. Rarely has there an episode of any show which looked so tired as this. It was like a lot of sketches strewn together. So depressing.

Depressing also because it was its swansong. "Strangers On The Shore" was a so much better episode...Sullivan could have worked in the "Albert's legacy"-subplot at the end of that episode

I don't like the German one.

Adolf Hitler? ;)

No the one where they bring home the German girl and she has a baby.

That's a classic early episode! Not one of the best perhaps, but worst? Takes all sorts I suppose...
