That isn't one of the big ones e.g the coach blowing up in Margate, the chandelier, or Del falling through the Bar.

Just watching Modern Men, and there's a scene where Del gets his drinks cheap by getting Mike to turn his hands over without Del touching them. Del then hands Mike the money. Trigger sees the trick, and does it to Rodney, and then gives him a money note, obviously not understanding the situation Del performed the trick in. Seen the scene numerous times before, and never fails to make me laugh.

So what's your favourite?

Has to be the end of A Touch of Glass when they offer to clean the priceless Chandeliers.

Grandad: It's coming, Del Boy. One more turn, Del.
Del: Right, now brace yourself Rodney, brace yourself.


Yes I missed the "but not the" part as well.

So I'd say Uncle Albert's story in the episode he gets "mugged" when he wets himself as he shouts "wooooaaaarrrrgggghhh" telling it.

Batman and Robin coming through the swirling fog to rescue the lady mayor (filmed in Broadmead, I do believe!).

Not my favourite moment but one I always remember for how funny it is.

Del etc are in some sort of comedy club, the comedian sees Albert walk in and says 'fancy coming out with your head on upside down'. hehe the whole place laughs at Albert and he does his usual sheepish expression.

Nothing as funny will ever be made, though the first two series of inbetweeners are gold.

"and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney......after Dave"

That episode is one of my favourites.

Only Fools and Horses really is in a league of it's own. We'll never see another programme like it.

Well, the OP did say not to include the obvious 'bar, chandelier, etc moments'.

Actually, my favourite moment without doubt has to be when they realise they have actually struck gold when they find out how much that watch in the garage is worth at auction.

After all the years of suffering with del boy and rodders as they tried to get rich.....it was actually a really heart warming moment when you realise that they finally get the break they have worked their whole lives for.

Probably not what the OP had in mind, as not really a funny moment.....but definately my favourite moment.

I watched the episode 'Tea for Three' the other day

After Del boy alters the timer on the sun lamp, I love the back and forth dialogue between del and Rodney trying to impress Lisa smile

Yep, that's another great one. Bit of a lump in the throat and the build up to it when they both faint is sheer quality.

Uncle Albert mistaking Casandras urine sample for Apple juice.

Poignant ones are Del standing alone as Simply Red play at Rodney's reception.
Dels speech to his mum after his son is born.

In fact there's probably to many to list.

"Triggers Broom" 17 new heads and 14 new handles... how can it be the same broom? ... Theres a picture of it, what more do you want?

Agree with the "if its a boy, they´re going to call him Rodney after Dave"

Del and Boyce have been playing cards and Boycey winning. After Del comes up trumps in a hand and Boycey has left, , he says "I knew he was cheating as thats not the hand I dealt him"
