Which only fools and horses episode is this trailer from?
This trailer appeared on you tube recently and i must admit it got me guessing. I beleive it must be Christmas Crackers for a few reasons. Firstly the fact it has a 35 minute slot, which fits in with this episode.
also the music was from series one, “so I think i cracked it Bamber”, but i’m open to your thoughts too.
My guess is Christmas Crackers
shown on Boxing Day 1981
Transmitted: 28.12.1981
Duration: 35 minutes
The one where Rodney has ran out of yuletide cheer, as the annual routing of the Trotter festivities are wearing thin. Burnt turkey, charred Christmas pudding, the same old things on television, and nothing but a book lent to him by Mickey Pierce: ‘Body Language: The Lost Art.’

As normal all other trailers are showing a preview section of the show except only fools. This clip shows a version that hasn’t even been cut yet. I often remeber hearing how the only fools production team will be up until the day before broadcast editing and splicing together the final cut.
Every fan dreams of the day all the cuts get put onto one almighty blu-ray disc!
Take this video to around 3 minutes 30 to see the trailer…
To be precise, this trailer was transmitted at approx 8:14pm on Saturday 26th December 1981.
It is indeed Christmas Crackers! One of the best episodes from Series 1
It will be the 28th December 1981 – this is the only date that K9 and Company was ever broadcast on BBC 1.
