Only Fools and Horses Season 5 Episode 6 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 

"that's a hell of a partin' you got there son" is one of the funniest lines in the entire show.

Originally, this was going to be final episode the show. Del's actor, David Jason wanted to leave the show, which would lead to a spin-off called Hot Rod about Rodney and Micky Pearce taking over Trotter's Independant Traders. Jason eventually decided against leaving the show in the end, though, so the episode's ending had to be re-written. Personally, I'm glad it turned out that way.

“Australia. Where the men are men - and so are the women.” As an Aussie, I can attest to this 😂

Where the men are men... "and so are the women" 😂😂 Albert had some cracking lines in this one.

"and I'll also teach him to drive a 3 wheeled van whilst pissed out of his skull" Brilliant.

OFAH and the late great John Sullivan….the ability to create such comedic scenes interlaced with very moving emotional moments. For me this sets the tone for the later episodes, that bond they have. The last few mins of this episode are perhaps the best they did. Brilliant writing and acting

Fun fact. Was going to be the final episode, Del was suppose to leave and there was going to be a spin off with Rodney. However they decided to continue.

I love that Del calls the vacuum cleaner a "J Edgar" 😁

Poor Rodney I no the feeling got caught at 14 with weed was supposed to be off my record in 9 months and not a part of my permeant record lol every job I go for with a background check 1st thing that comes back.

You are approaching arguably the best period of Only Fools and Horses. Everything from "The Frog's Legacy" onwards is 100% gold.

I think this episode, particularly at the end scene, shows what a fantastic actor David Jason is. Funny and very moving. I'd love David to have the chance at a big time film and really show his brilliance at acting.

Uncle Albert gets some of the best lines

"That's a hell of a parting you got there son" 🤣

Jumbo was played by Nick Stringer, who previously played the Australian who Del sells a car to whose brakes don't work.

Love seeing you progress through this great series dude. Royal Flush is the next one and is usually considered fans least favourite episode but the one that follows it, "the frogs legacy" is one of my personal favourites, it's when the show really gets into its stride 👌

I'd like to talk about the ending of Del turning down Jumbo's offer to stay with Rodney: Clearly the only reason Del decided to stay in England was for Rodney. On all other counts, going to Australia would have been the best decision for Del. But Rodney threw one hell of a tantrum when Del considered going to Australia without him, and this was when Del realized how important their partnership was for Rodney. Rodney acted in a completely unreasonable manner in this episode. He needs to decide between one of two options: Option 1.Rodney is a mature grown-up person who can take care of himself and stand on his own two feet without Del holding his hand. Option 2.Rodney is still a kid and needs Del to hold his hand and support him. Rodney doesn't choose between Option 1 and Option 2, but rather he picks either one when it is convenient for him. Rodders wants to have his cake and eat it too. When Del wants to go to Australia, Rodney chooses Option 2 and gets angry at Del for even considering leaving him behind. But when it suits his convenience, Rodney also chooses Option 1. He frequently claims that Del is holding him back and that if it weren't for him, Rodney would be doing so much better with his life. Rodders even attempted to break up the partnership and start something on his own back in "Healthy Competition" from Series 3. Rodney ultimately needed to choose between one of the two options rather than wavering between the two to suit his present convenience. On the other side of the coin, I believe Rodney's reaction stems from the complexity of the sibling relationship. While Del and Rodney are frequently at each other's throats throughout the show like many brothers, it is always evident that they share a strong brotherly bond. The fact that Rodney was devastated at the prospect of he and Del being thousands of miles apart merely proves how strong that bond actually is. Finally, another thing I ought to bring up is that it's Del's business "brilliance" that always kept the Trotters going. Lots of people think Rodney couldn't make it on his own because he'd never been taught how to be independent. Del might've sent him the money from Oz, but things could've just as well gone wrong. He couldn't risk it and leave Rodney helpless if something bad had happened to him. After all, Del did promise their mum he would look after Rodders.

This was a very good episode - it was hilarious and sad. Uncle Albert was on top form and he is going to get even funnier. Del made a very tough decision not to leave and the sacrifices for his family. In real life, David Jason was about to leave the show and it was planned as the last episode for the show and they were planning a spin-off called Hot Rod but thankfully David Jason decided not to leave at the last minute and I'm glad he didn't because (with the exception of the next episode) the show went another level. Next episode A Royal Flush is worse than Video Nasty but after that every single episode all the way to Christmas Trilogy 1996 are incredible

I’d wager buster merryfield who played albert would still be alive if I hadn’t gotten a tumour. He was super fit right to the end barely changed in appearance from the 80s until his death in 1999. 👍

In case anyones wondering j edger➡️j Edgar hoover➡️ hoover In the uk we call a vacuum cleaner a hoover after the company Eg “go and hoover your room”

Fun fact: This episode was initially intended to be the last one, hence why it has a conclusionary feel to it. By 1986, Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney) was working on other programmes and Sir David Jason (Del) had told John Sullivan that he wanted to move on as well. But there was a change and they carried on with it through Christmas specials, which is why there was a three year gap between series five and six.

One of Albert's best episodes.

Have you done episode 4 of series 5? Can't find it. Love watching your reactions!

Syrup is short for syrup fig which rhymes with wig. I think that’s where it comes from.

Another great reaction, brother! Thanks for taking time to watch these programs mate. Thanks for giving me something great to watch ie you! Be safe mate I hope you and you family are all well and happy

2:37 Boycie's famous laugh again lol

This episode was written because David Jason (Del Boy) was wanting to leave the series and this was the way for him to be written out. Jason changed his mind, hence the ending

I was watching an episode from series 6 and throughout all I was thinking am was how much you were going to love it and what your reactions might be!!

What happened to 'tea for three'? One of my favourite episodes!

There were some fantastic quips in this.

At 12:30 David Jason is trying so hard not to laugh

Don't know if its just me but everyime Del refers yo Rodney , saying YOU WERE ONLY A LITTLE SPROG, and he holds his arm out to show height its never like a small kid. He holds his arm up pretty high.Think its a play on Rodney being so tall. 😂

hello there , just subscribed , im michael from norwich u.k , glad u love only fools and horses

The next series after the three specials had back to back classic episodes.

I know Josh has seen all of the seasons on his other channel, but still looking forward to his reactions as season 6 steps up a gear or two... :)

The only comedy that can have you in stitches one minute and tears the next.

Looking forward to series 6 reactions, every episode a masterpiece imho

The original plan for Del to leave OFAH would have been disastrous for the show.

You might notice jumbo is in the second ever episode of only fools as a different ozzy. The episodes called go west young man brilliant episode.

Still waiting for handglider episode please. 😪

As people are bound to point out sooner or later: this episode was actually written to end the show. The plan was for Del to leave for Australia, leading to a spinoff show titled 'Hot Rod', centred on Rodney trying to start up his own business. But during production they either got renewed or just didn't feel like the show should end like that, and so kept the episode but changed the ending around so Del gave up his opportunity to stay with his brother.

One of the great OFAH episodes and like all good sitcoms it can break your bloody heart

This is the last of the half-hour eps.

Mentioned it last week , what happened to episode 4???

Is tea for three going to be uploaded?

What was Del's plan for Uncle Albert if he & Rodney had gone to Australia? For him to live in the flat on his own?

Josh you have the best reaction's out of every youtuber out there, great job as always my friend keep up the good work.

Hi have you seen Lee Evans? He once sold £7,000,000 worth of tickets in the first day for one of his tours in the UK Great clips can be found from "Different Planet tour" "Wired and wonderful Live at Wembley" he is very Unique and totally hilarious!

I've watched only fools and horses so many times I've lost count absolutely love it n don't think I'll ever get bored with it I'm watching it since I was a kid and its still my favourite without a doubt cushty

An arrest for possession of cannabis is a minor offence & would not result in a visa being denied. Very simplistic writing, he meets a guy he hasn't seen for years then within a few minutes he's a partner in a business in Australia & as quickly he decides to turn down the offer. Relocating to Australia is a little more complicated than that surely. As for a spin off show starring Rodney, that was never going to work. This episode like many others reveals that OFAH is basically a 'Steptoe And Son' rip off. The theme of a family member's ambitions being thwarted by family responsibilities & the inevitable sentimental scenes that follow. I expect John Sullivan realised that the show had nowhere to go after this so he introduced wives for Del & Rodney, then it became a different show altogether.

This is final episode of series 5. Tea for 3 is missing

And where was ur tea for three reaction?

Fun fact- this episode was originally meant to be David Jason's last episode as del boy they were going to send the character to Australia and have a spin off series just for Rodney called hot rod but it was changed I think a few weeks prior to filming

Series*

'This time next year Rodney'... 🤣

Got to love Del ..never quite makes it but your rooting for him to succeed 🙂👍

The actor who played jumbo was in another episode a different character in season 1 I think bought a car of dell that had dodgy breaks

Sorry, confused the title with a far later episode...

👍😂😅😂💖luv it❤

This was actually meant to be the last ever episode as David Jason said he didn’t want to do anymore but luckily he had a change of heart.

👍💜👍💜

I haven't been on this channel for a while, I'm behind. What happened to Tayler??

Please try and watch a royal flush I think it's a special at the end of this series it's brilliant episode.

Comedy drama

It's the same actor who bought a car off Del with no brakes.🤣🤣🤣
