Cohabiting stopped being considered strange in the UK from the 60s. It became increasingly common from then. There are currently about 3 m cohabiting couples in the UK.
Raquel makes it clear from early on that there's never any chance of her going back to Roy Slater. Del feels uncomfortable about Slater's presence in the flat because he already has a strong disliking towards him because he's a dishonest policeman who'd framed his friends for crimes. The animosity increases when he discovers Slater is Raquel's husband. Del is already aware that she has an estranged husband, but doesn't want to know anything about his identity until he turns up. She'd reverted to her maiden name before first meeting Del.
Hope you read this, Felipe and Lilian. Just to let you know that some of us are missing your always interesting regular video output; Hoping you and your family are well and ok.......and that nothing bad has happened. Best wishes and please come back soon! :)
Um, I think you might be overthinking your concerns a bit - which is nice, of course. They're very smart, have a lovely (and growing!) family, and clearly did this as a bit of a side-project. Time is a precious resource, and the time you have to spend producing and editing CZcams videos so that they look at least reasonably consistent and polished is ridiculous - and not really justified if you have a rich life to be getting on with. So I believe that they took the decision to move on. You know, like the Beatles. Or Rick Astley (okay, not like Rick Astley). A loyal audience might feel aggrieved, but I was never especially loyal. So I don't. I enjoyed their choices, their style, their taste and their commentary - mostly ;) To me, what will always be the most joyful aspect of their videos was their devotion to God, to their children and to each other. These always shone through, glowed, in fact - and I loved that. I mean, really, what more is there to life!
His name is Jim Broadbent. He was actually first pick to play Del boy Trotter before David Jason. He played a Professor in the original Harry Potter Movies.
Not many people know that Jim Broadbent was actually originally offered the part of Del Boy “Yes, it's true,” said Jim. “I didn't feel that It was quite right for me. I was probably too tall for a start and the Jack the Lad character was not quite my style.
i love the scene where uncle albert is suposed to acrt surprised that rodney is taking a girl out on a date and he keeps doing it too soon, if you watch closely david jason almost bursts out laughing, must have been so much fun working on this show
Knew they would split, he seemed so controlling and was definitely a misogynist, she seemed to just go along with whatever his views were, few times I saw him give her the eye if she said something wrong and she would shut up, imagine what it's like off camera, people only show you what they want you to see. I am a good judge of character and you can tell he's an angry man and could see him losing his temper with her and the kids. Glad she woke up and has got away from him. It's textbook for abusive controlling husbands to take their victims away from their friends and families so they cannot interfere and make her realize she's being controlled, probably why he moved them all to england. He did not come across as genuine at all, she did. If you can't see any of this then you are not a good judge of character and are naive.
I miss the Postmodern Familyyy!!, Unveiling the comedic brilliance of Only Fools and Horses, the reaction to 'Who's Rachel?!' unfolds like a tapestry of laughter and cultural exploration. This delightful exchange mirrors the joyous moments of self-discovery and connection I experienced at Lisa Haisha's retreat in the Philippines. Just as the Americans react to the iconic scene, Lisa's teachings ignited a spark of understanding and unity within me. Both instances remind me that shared laughter and shared wisdom can bridge cultures and inspire greatness.
Jim Broadbent played Inspector Slater who was a bent copper and the background of the character was that he Del and Boucie went to the same school as kids but Slater was the brunt of their pranks so becoming a Police officer he turned the tables on them and subsequently made their lives uncomfortable, this episode I believe is when he was released from prison, you need to check out other sitcoms written by John Sullivan such as Citizen Smith, Dear John, and Just Good Friends 👍
Ive noticed this sort of thing a few times, when channels without warning or explanation, abruptly stop posting. I can never understand why they don't give a brief sign off? Or is it some kind of strange CZcams etiquette or rule that you cant?
One of my American friends I've connected with on CZcams started on me with the whole "Dave's not here" thing from Cheech and Chong. I had no idea what that was all about until she posted the link to the clip. So I told her my real name was Rodney...
@@kenshiro7960 I looked into it six months ago and I can't quite remember now. I remember she has an Instagram account that's private. They went from massively regular uploaders to silence. They were good, I particularly had time for the bloke, good fella and like I said, I hope all things are well for them.
@@jdlc903 I agree on that. Bit there has been no content or contact that suggests otherwise. Ots either that, or, they've turned their backs to their YT subscribers for another more profitable platform.
Have not heard from you for several years now and i am getting concerned that something is wrong I hope you and your family is dafe and well and still in the UK.Please make an update video about what has been gping on just to let us know you are stlii alive
@@ajs41 I looked on Twitter and didn't find much activity. Their web page is fairly inactive. Its extraordinary that they have not put a video up telling us that they have finshed with CZcams or are taking a rest or something. They have a Facebook page which has a single email contact on it . I emailed that and as yet had no response. Its rather shabby behaviour.
Sir David Jason (Derick Trotter) or Del, was in "open all hours" with Ronnie Barker & "A touch of frost" playing a detective, & in "porridge" also with Ronnie Barker and a few other popular shows. Very talented guy.
Del is just one of a nickname type I think originated in London, possibly cockney, where you take the first part of their name and end it with -el. So Derek becomes Del.
You have to see the Episode Entitled "The Longest Night" That is really funny and also The one with the Blow up Dolls is hilarious too! OMG and the one where Del and Rodney go to a Club and Del pulls a couple of guys in Drag! lol Can't remember what episode that is, probably one of the earlier ones as GranDad was still alive then.
Getting a little worried about you guys. Praying that you are all well and that you being MIA is simply becuase you dont feel like posting. Love you guys always, whatever you choose to do with your channel.
They are fine, they just abandoned this channel to concentrate on their websites advertising the rather different lifestyle they champion, and their photography business. They really should have made a goodbye video.
@@ravenmasters2467 That's okay. Lillian posted an advert on a website in April for the photography business. That is the most recent trace of them I could find on the web.
Jim Broadbent...Played Slater the ex detective .. Originally Jim was penned to play Del in the original Only fools.. but at the first read through Jim wasn't avaliable and David stepped in.. John Sullivan,, the writer immediately noticed Nick David and Len had real chemistry in the scenes.. and instead asked David to play Del instead.. Not wanting to leave Jim out he was hired to play DCI Slater.. a real nasty devious character.. who would become an on/off regular throughout the entire run of Only Fools often only making an appearance one in every two or three seasons...
I would like to know where the presenters of this channel have gone. Its been two years now and no word from them anywhere. I think they may a presence on twitter. I think this is their last posting and they never returned to youtube again. I really enjoyed their intelligent viewpoints about things and their American perspective. Maybe they were not happy with the number of subscribers or views and they may have wanted to get into the youtube financial income bracket with enough subscribers and views. But it never really happened they deserve to though. Their channel was a really good channel and their view are much appreciated. Maybe they thought its not worth the time and effort to this youtube channel and just left just like that or they did not enjoy doing this type of stuff anymore. Either way, their internet presence suggest they still live in Southhampton area and they did not return back to the United States as I thought. Its been two years and they have not posted anything. So it looks like they just abandoned this channel. I hope they return back. They seem like good people. I would have loved to hear updates from them about their views and what is going on in their lives.
@@Violet-to4qq Yes, they owe no explanation and indeed can do whatever they like. All I was thinking is that given their apparent christianised views, to abruptly switch off , as it were, without the courtesy of a few comments, seems to me to be extremely bad form. I am not that bothered actually, it's just a tad disappointing.
This episode of only fools is really good, there’s lots more background info on requel and slater in it, also there’s a lot history between del and slater (chief inspector slater)

Lillian is now OBSESSED with only fools and horses 😁 Best looking reactionary 😇
Jim Broadbent is an incredibly adaptable actor known for his remarkable versatility, and he has illuminated numerous stages with his performances.
He was professor Slughorn in Harry Potter. I think he is an Oscar nominee and winner for something else too
Hi. Are you doing anymore videos? 🙄
The baby being born is one of the best episodes i think it was a Christmas special.
One of my favourite only fools and horses moments is when Del thinks Uncle Albert hired a stripper and it turns out to be a real cop.
not a fake cop?

That’s it! I new I recognised him from somewhere,
