Ronnie Barker. Both David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst worked with him, he had great chemistry with David. And it would have been a good nod to Porridge and Going Straight.

Saw this on another site:

"Only Fools And Horses: The Lost Archive is a new two-part documentary which is going deep into the archives and bringing out footage that fans have never seen before.

The programme features material uncovered from more than 10 classic episodes, including The Jolly Boys’ Outing, Mother Nature’s Son, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Uncle and Time on Our Hands. There’s even an opening nightclub scene from Class of ’62 that was previously thought to have been lost forever.

The footage has been digitally scanned and restored from the original 16mm negatives, meaning we’ll also get to see scenes from some episodes in HD for the first time.

There are some brilliant discoveries too, including unseen moments from The Jolly Boys’ Outing and behind-the-scenes material showing just how much work went into Miami Twice.

Sir David Jason, Tessa Peake-Jones, Gwyneth Strong, Sue Holderness, Steven Woodcock and Denis Lill are among those taking part in new interviews, looking back at the programme, reacting to forgotten footage and remembering creator John Sullivan.

It sounds like there’s going to be plenty here even for fans who think they’ve seen everything Only Fools has to offer.

And British Comedy Guide have now announced that Only Fools And Horses: The Lost Archive is due to begin on U&Gold in October 2026."

Does anyone know if the theme tunes exist without audience applause over it? I'm a DJ and would love to be able to play the theme tunes

I was watching the episode last night & I’m pretty sure the late great William Orbit is one of the band members of A Bunch of Wallies. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello, bit of a weird one - but miami twice I'm sure (the second episode) 1 time it had a laughter track, but another copy not. Made me think has to hull and back, and royal flush etc also have mixed copies?

This location features in one Only Fools episode. Can anyone recognise it?

I post this as I leave nearby and each time I walk past, it always reminds me of this episode

They got him his five hundred quid.

I have no idea what the context is for the painting, but I think it's uncanny.
