    My fave Uncle Albert scene is when Del says "if you mention the war once more" and Albert comes back with "i was'nt going to mention the war , during the 1939-45 conflict with Germany" and the look on Del's face is priceless

      “During’ the war, it was Christmas Day, 1939. And I was delivering presents all over the world with nuffing, but six reindeer and a drunken elf. Those kids were uncaring, little sods, too. Never even left me a pie or a carrot!”

    There must be so much extra footage and photos laying around in the BBC vaults. Imagine what blu-ray extras could look like.

    When Racquel joined OFAH, it sometimes felt like I was watching EastEnders. I only ever watch series 1-5.
