Looking at the pic of Del Boy above, I’ve decide that Only Fools and Horses needs a cunting…
Not the early years, mind… The first few years with Granddad and then Uncle Albert (1981-1988) were great… Classic comedy that was up there with Steptoe & Son, Rising Damp, Till Death Us Do Part’ and Porridge… But it became a dead horse that was well and truly flogged and endorsed all that femstapo PC shite before it became trendy…
The show was first of all ruined by the arrival of ‘strong’ (ie: bitches) female characters… The irritating (but slightly doable) Cassandra and then the absolutely horrendous Raquel and her devil child, Damian… Raquel was a man hating harridan who destroyed the three men against the world team, Yoko style….
Then the stories just got absurd and totally reliant on cheap laughs… Del has a doppelganger who is a Mafia Don and the Trotter Brothers then stay at the mafioso mansion and also get out alive… Then there was the peaceful cunt who kept shouting ‘Gary’ and also the ludicrous Batman and Robin bollocks, the watch that made them millionaires, and the Jonathan Ross (cunt) gameshow shite… Not forgetting that Beckham cunt too…
It went on far too long and ended up ridiculous… Del looking like an old man, but still doing the wide boy routine and a 40 odd year old Rodders still being a puppy dog type plonker…. The constant pop culture references also grated (‘It’s like having a seance with Mister Bean’) and the way the supporting cast were overused didn’t help either…
It was a really great comedy in its early years, but by the time it reached ‘National Treasure’ status, both the fools and the horses should have been put down…

Never thought much of fools and horses. Very past the sell by date now. Can they just consign the tapes to the British Library and stop fucking with my head by exhuming all this fuck awful shite and so on etc.
How come Benny Hill’s vanished into the realms of the forgotten he was a cunt but very funny and oodles of crumpet to keep a young man interested.
I suggested to the al bbc that they show some of the older party political broadcasts they were always fucking funny. To date still awaiting reply.
