Let's explore the best of them.

To Hull and Back

This legendary episode from 1985 sees Boycie and his business buddy convince Del Boy to visit The Netherlands to smuggle diamonds. It's also an episode where Uncle Albert gets on a boat and doesn't sink.

My own opinion is that this is the best episode of the lot. There is a fantastic story behind the key comedic elements here."

Heroes and Villains

The Trotter brothers dress up as Batman and Robin to attend the fancy dress party of Harry Malcolm. However, people forgot to mention that Harry died the day before and the party is now a wake.

Sleepy Man on YouTube said: "The background theme tune to batman combined with the expression of utter bewilderment on Councillor Murray’s face makes for one of the most funniest pieces in comedy."

Yuppy Love

An episode that contains arguably the finest scene from Only Fools and Horses history. It's also an episode Rodney meets his future wife Cassandra for the first time.

One YouTuber commented: "How they managed to keep a straight face in this scene, I don't know."

Red Rebel added: "The greatest moment in British television history!"

Jolly Boys Outing

Peckham's finest head out of London for a day trip to Margate. Despite some initial promise, the trip turns into something of a disaster. The coach explodes, Rodney gets arrested and Trigger loses his dolphin.

Time on Our Hands

Although this didn't turn out to be the final episode, it was, for many people, the perfect ending as the Trotter brothers finally achieved their dreams and became millionaires. When it was originally broadcast, it brought in an audience of over 24 million people and became one of the most watched episodes of all time. The video below from BBC Comedy Greats - YouTube contains one of the final scenes from the episode.

YuTevon commented on YouTube: "What was really sweet and touching about this scene, was seeing Del Boy not letting the money get to his head and change him as a person.It didn't matter if he was working class or a millionaire, Del Boy just wanted to Del Boy. Absolute masterclass acting."
