25 Funniest Only Fools And Horses Moments
12. Del Boy Goes Hang Gliding
Del Boy and Rodney are just about as close as any brothers could be, but that doesn't mean they don't let silly things get between them. In 'Tea for Three', both Trotters were after the heart of the same women, which led to a little unhealthy competition between the two.
After Del lets Rodney sleep on a tanning for far too long, the younger Trotter sets up a perfect plan for revenge. Lisa introduces him to her friend, who says he'll take Del hang gliding. Not wanting to look weak or scared, despite being absolutely petrified, Del looks for a way to get out of it while saving face.
Rodney tells Del to get ready to go and act like he can't wait, and just at the last second he'll come running over saying there's an urgent call and they have to go. Del loves the plan and, of course, acts like he can't wait to get into the sky.
It's not until it's too late however, that he realises his brother has stitched him up, and when Rodney makes absolutely no mention of a phone call, he has no choice but to go for it, accidentally heading out toward sea.
