Only Fools And Horses: Ranking All The Main Characters From Worst To Best

15. Sid

Cantankerous greasy spoon owner Sid was featured in a few episodes throughout the show’s initial run. He would often keep a watchful eye on Del Boy (and who could blame him after Derek’s thwarted attempts of stealing cutlery from the cafe?), as well as argue with customers who complained about the hygiene standards of his business.

Often with a cig in his mouth, Sid threatened to smack Rodney in the mouth after the younger Trotter had asked for his ‘usual bacteria on toast,’ and Denzil had argued with the cafe owner after he had discovered a stray hair in his lumpy porridge.

Sid places low on this list as he was only a semi-regular character until the final three episodes. The much-loved landlord to the local Nag’s Head, Mike Fisher, was serving prison time for fraud in the final three episodes, to cover for the actual death of the actor, Kenneth MacDonald.

From his time behind the bar of the Nag’s Head, Sid’s highlight came about when he barred an irate (and recently surgically enhanced) Marlene and told her to take her foster !*$% home with her.
