Big Brother

Interesting to go back and rewatch this. Establishes the brothers relationship well and gives you an idea of what their personalities will be like and how they'll handle potential situations. There's some real clever lines and a great set-up and the start that builds up an excellent scene at the end.

We get some backstory on Rodney and some hilarious scenes with Granddad. Learning that his cooking skills aren't the best, which is something we see a lot of in the show. The burger scene is one that stuck in my memory and I comes to mind quite randomly for me as well as the start scene with the actor on TV.

Tessa - Peake Jones did not play a cameo that myth was debunked by John Suilivan himself if your talking about the first episode where a woman says Hello Del that sounds like her but is not her you can check this out on only fools fanclub where it is discussed in episodes the Big Brother one !

Binge-watching the series over Covid-19 lock-down. Haven't seen this episode in years and years and was pleasantly surprised. Better than I remember.

There aren't a barrel of laughs but it's an enjoyable trip down memory lane. Can't imagine what it would be like for a younger person watching it for the first time though.

Good fun.

Grandad Rodney and finally Del Boy first appearance in the first episode in that order. Three guys in a flat watching tv. Within four minutes John Sullivan as explained through the characters the dynamics of there relationship. By the time del orders drinks in the nags head. There history as unfolded in front of your eyes. This surely is the magic that follows the show all the years magic stories told funny.

The episode that started it all, and it's actually one of the best from the 1st series.

With some lovely interactions between the leads and a decent story being told, the quality, while still a work in progress, is clear.
