Sue Holderness & John Challis chat to Eamonn and Ruth about their time on Only Fools and Horses..and celebrating 30 years since it began. There is also some impressions from celebrities of their characters.
Two of the best in this cast of acting geniuses. I'm a Yank and loved this show. English comical genius at its usual perfection. Kudos, UK. We can't do 'em like you folks can do! (And humor is sorely needed in our country right now (2017)!
Only Fools and Horses was that one time you get an assembled cast that just gels instantly, even the guest artists seemed so comfortable and that I suppose is down to the regular cast making them feel welcome and wonderful writing by John Sullivan.
If you watch the episode "Strained Relations", Del Boy's mourning and emotions shown at Grandad's funeral are all completely genuine because David Jason and the rest of the cast were still grief stricken. I think that scene was shot just a week after the real funeral of Lennard Pearce.
Clarissa McPigeon You are correct, both David and Nicolas and most of the cast and crew had attended the funeral of Lennard Pearce only a week before and I think that really came through in the acting. Through the genius of John Sullivan even that had a funny twist with the vicars hat☺
Wonderful John Challis 😢love the whole cast such a great programme and a great writer John Sullivan so many great stories he wrote. RIP John sadly missed by so many 😢
In my local pub there was a guy we all called Boycie because he did a perfect impression of Boycie. Not only did he do the voice and the mannerisms, but his jokes were always in exactly the same style. Real name Chris, a washing machine technician.
I saw John and sue at one of the conventions. Have to say they are both really nice people .. They clearly have a chemistry between them that works so well
I love these two,Just pure class my favourite is when Boyce martens ready to go on hols and rodders and Derek came to pick up There dog Duke and marlene saying bye to him,Brilliantly done 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Met John Challis aka boycie a few months ago at his show in Falkirk town hall met him after signed autographs and happy to pose for photos diamond geezer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🏴
Bril actors both!. Sad that he's gone, but will always be remembered for Boycie and the many other roles he played. Boycie was the only character I could impersonate...... Smiles. An actor or actress that can immediately bring a smile or a laugh after a rotten day are truely great!
Love you British 🌟🌟 OFNH jst love on utube the acsents fabulous Marlene n Boycie ❤ of course Sir David read his book so great stories n Sue read or comments re bottom pinching 😄 im 73 n gmother now..so here in Australia same your a darling look marvellous 💖 here i go again love British tv ....come along marlene boycie says just fabulous great interview 🌹😍 same your a
For me, Boyce's best line ever was delivered with perfection in The Jolly Boys Outing............."Chuck him on the back seat?? He's the driver!!" Anyone agree? Great screen couple and nice people in reality too.
R. I. P. John you'll be sadly missed and just to think we may never got to see him as boycie if he chose to go to America I once read but glad he stayed in only fools and horses and sue is still beautiful gorgeous 😍❤️
The first bit (before the interview) is Boycie slamming the phone down in "To Hull And Back", after telling a customer, "no, this is not Mr Boyce speaking! This is his public relations officer."
I remember seeing Sue Holderness in a Minder episode where she played Laura a market trader one of the many wives of Clive Cosgrove (Patrick Mower) - the episode was called A Number of old Wives Tales (1984).
He was at the Ipswich Waterstones a couple of years ago. I didn't see him but the local press was full of comments about how nice he seemed and how lovely it was to have him visit.
I wish The Green Green Grass was still running :-) Besides Marlene & Boyce, my favorite British tv couple, there were so many (actually all of them) excellent characters !! The farm hands, the cleaner, Elgin Sparrowhawk Farm Manager!!, the Welsh neighbour ... and Tyler's second gf at the end of the series was awesome too, wish she had gotten a bigger role, Samantha Sunderland was brilliantly funny!
Boyce. "Marlene is that dog of yours walking in my pond again!?" Marlene. "I keep telling him not to but he won't listen!" Boyce. "he'll listen when I put piranhas in it!" hahahahahahaha! 🤣
The scary thing is about 9 years ago I knew an English guy in Spain that not only looked like Boycie maybe slightly thinner... but also sounded just like Boycie haha
John Sullian was brought up on Laurel & Hardy and was a HUGE fan! He based Del & Rodney on Stan & Ollie, 2 ordinary journeymen just trying to make their (often odd!) way through life! Mixed with John's East End memories, it was a winning combination! Tributes/quotes run through two NEW books "ARTHUR AND NORVELLE:THE FORGOTTEN AND REAL LEGEND OF LAUREL AND HARDY", now on AMAZON! Buying these books will help a Project bring back L&H into all out lives, to inspiure more great comedy minds!
