    It's 5 years since Dellboy and Rodney made their last episode. I thought that fans may be interested to know that they are actually filming a 3 part Christmas special here in WSM right now as I post this.

    David Jason (Dellboy) paid my local pub a visit last time he was here, I actually nodded to him as though he was a regular before it sank in who he was.

    Maybe he will turn up again, hope he doesn't bring that Plonker with him......!

    E'Man,

    It has been quite a while since I saw an episode, but I still chuckle at the rememberance of the Batman and Robin fancy dress fiasco.

    Brilliant stuff - HS

    Hey E-man,
    I loved that show! I lived in London from 1991-99, and I always looked forward to Dellboy and Rodders and Granddad at Christmas.
    Thanks for that very important piece of info!
    My wife and I will be returning for a visit, we'll be there from Dec. 27 - Jan 6. Any idea yet what the show will air? If we're not going to be there I can have my wife's mum tape it.
    Also, do you or anyone else know if the series is available on DVD or video.I'd love to bring that home with me.
    Thanks,
    BadWillie.

    Badwillie,

    If the show follows the format of previous years, it will be likely screened on the 25, 26, 27 December. Yes, all the earlier shows are on video / DVD, Woolworths have bags in stock, don't know if UK videos will play on USA machines though.

    I'll look forward to that !

    I heard that part of the story involves Del going on "Who wants to be a Millionaire"

    Am I missing some deep and surreal point here?

    Do Del Boy and Rodney sybolise some deep Scriptural prophetic pattern?
    If so where does Grandad fit ? and is there significance in the three wheels of the motor?

    Please enlighten a poor studious soul like me

    Thanks E-man!
    I'll look for the DVD, I think they should work anywhere. I don't think there are all the different formats like with video tapes.

    Thanks for the info eman.

    My favourite episode is when Delboy goes into the yuppie winebar - trying to impress some women, and attempts to nonchalantly lean on the bar. Only the flap is up!! Hilarious!! I laugh EVERY time.
