25 Funniest Only Fools And Horses Moments
4. The Coach Explosion
In comedy, timing is everything, and it's fair to say that over time Only Fools and Horses perfected the art. Nothing demonstrates this better than the Jolly Boys' Outing, one of the greatest episodes the show has to offer.
As the boys head out to Margate on the traditional trip, Cassandra resents Rodney for going, feeling that they are above the nonsense of Del and his friends from the Nag's Head. On the way back, the faulty radio on the coach they hired starts to smoke, and just as Rodney is defending his big brother on the phone to Cassandra, the entire coach goes up in a massive explosion.
On it's own it would be funny enough, but the fact that it interrupted Rodders telling his wife that not everything touches goes wrong, is icing on the cake.
