Only Fools and Horses Cuts – Jolly Boys Outing bonus

Ronnie English provided some great insight into the only fools and horses cuts in the past

Today he takes us through a Jolly Boys Outing Un-Broadcast Scene

The Jolly Boys Outing was a Christmas Special, Broadcast on the 25th of December 1989. As well as having a scene cut from the DVD, Another scene was cut before the episode was even broadcast, due to “timing restrictions”. The scene is very short, and occurs when Del, Rodney and Uncle Albert go in to Villa Bella. The original scene in the hallway ends with Dell trying to write with a pen which is chained to the wall. This scene seems to have been intended for after dell fiddles with the pen.

The cut scene shows two people eating their meals (The two meals being carried in the broadcast episode) while complaining about the hotel. The following lines were in the scene:

Arthur and Betty

Del: “Are you the guests she hired to cheer the place up?”

Arthur: “No, We are guests.”

Betty: “Guests Aye!”

Del: “This is no club med, is it?”

Arthur: “It’s really horrible here, The foods awful.”

Betty: “Awful Food.”

Arthur: “And not much of it, Either!”

Betty: “No, She only lets you have one jacket potato a day!”

Del: “Well, You never know, She might give you an extra lump of custard with your afters.”

Arthur: “Well, she hasn’t in previous years.”

Betty: “No.”

Arthur: “Aye?”

Del: “Well, Stay Lucky.”

Dell then leaves, and goes up the stairs. The episode then goes onto the bedroom scene.

Catch a Glimpse of Arthus and Betty

In the broadcast episode, you do catch a glimpse of the two people in the missing scene, as seen above.
