Rare Only Fools and Horses Footage
So we now have the very clip we were waiting for plus another rare Blooper from David Jason in It Never Rains. The show was hosted by Terry Wogan and was called Auntie’s Golden Bloomers. This is fueling more than ever than the BBC must have a lot of unseen footage to release for fools fans in the future. Lets hope after 30 years of Only Fools and Horses, the BBC come to there senses and give the fans a treat.
Enjoy these rare clips from Auntie’s Golden Bloomers

We are trying to work out which Only Fools and Horses episode this shot comes from. Obviously its another incite of the actors behind the scenes during the filming of an early episode. It’s possibly the Healthy Competition episode,
as that had an auction scene in it. What do you think?
Its definitely shot outside an auction scene as can be seen from the yellow notice above the door. The bloke on the right looks a little like Solly Attwell, the Trotter Family’s solicitor. But if that was the case, then this would be the infamous Hole in One episode. Which was originally shot with Grandad but of course was deleted after Lennard Pearce (Grandad) dies in real life and was replaced with Buster Merryfield (Uncle Albert).
Over to you Only Fools fans to solve – Which Only Fools and Horses episode do you think its from?

David Jason : My Life is the name of the unique autobiography by Britain’s best-loved actor and our very own Derek “Del-Boy” Trotter.
We can’t wait to see what insights we get into the BBC’s Only Fools and Horses, which ran between 1981 and 2003 .A Touch Of Frost and The Darling Buds Of May.
So why has the 72-year-old actor never published until now? I’ve read many biographies on Sir David Jason, but this is the only autobiography. I’m led to believe he has published his memoirs to mark 50 years in the entertainment industry.
David Jason : My Life : Release date is October 10th
(We plan to have some news regarding signed copies this week)
Sir David said the book would allow him to “share the journey” of his life with the British public.
Born in 1940, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing. Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting. Jason started his television career in 1964 playing the part of Bert Bradshaw in ITV soap Crossroads. Through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and ’70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker. Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours.
It wasn’t until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, and a clapped-out Reliant Regal, that David found the part that would capture the nation’s hearts: the beloved Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV’s favourite detective Jack Frost, took a country jaunt as Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May, and even voiced a crime-fighting cartoon rodent in the much-loved children’s show Danger Mouse.

Today Darren Lovett takes a look at a Mother Natures Son location in Brighton
The Hotel was used in the episode “Mother Natures Son”
The Location is The Grand Hotel, Brighton
Nearest Station is Brighton
Of course not only was the Grand Hotel visited by the Trotter family in 1992 but it was also visited by Margaret Thatcher 8 years earlier. Though it wasn’t under the most pleasant circumstances. I wonder if there is still a bottle of Peckham Spring in the room?
Take a look at this great episode Mother Natures Son where Del decides to bottle tap water and sell it as Peckham Spring Water. Back in the money both couples enjoy a romantic evening… until they see a news flash about a major water contamination, caused by Del’s barrels.

Darren Lovett takes us on a visit to the Jolly Boys Outing Locations and tells us where you can see these locations for yourself.
This is Margate Railway Station where Del and the gang arrive to find out that there is a rail strike. A great comedy moment occurs, where Trig really doesn’t know which way to go, poor lad.
This is on Station Road, Margate.
Del and Rodney join the gang in this Only Fools and Horses special.

How about some on location filming of famous Fools and Horses scenes?
Dave Savile is a filmmaker from bristol. He tells us, “I’m currently filming all the possible locations of this classic comedy. Bristol is nearly finished and I’ll be filming all the London locations next year. This has never been done (actual video locations) as far as I’m aware, so I’d be the first to do it! I’ve interviewed some of the residents that live in Whitemead House and they tell me about who they met and how the BBC got in touch with them etc.. I’ll be releasing my films from each series once completed. I’ve managed to film inside and out of where they filmed A Touch of Glass down in Dorset. Also inside and out of Knoll House from the episode It Never Rains. I also re-enact out scenes from The Jolly Boys Outing and Heroes and Villains”.
So we were intrigued to find out more.
Here is Dave’s initial outings…enjoy!
