Only Fools and Horses Cuts – Part 11<\/h2>\n

Over the last few months we have seen a breakdown of all the lost scenes of only fools and Horses from the current released \u00a0DVD in the UK.<\/p>\n

Most fans would love to see the originals put back into the DVD releases.<\/p>\n

Additionally John\u00a0Sullivan’s\u00a0commentary along with production comments must be a great way to provide some extras on a re-release of this wonderful comedy.<\/p>\n

We now continue from last week in out final part<\/p>\n

A Royal Flush (continued)<\/h3>\n

So far we have seen a lot of cuts from A Royal Flush Episode.\u00a0Our last part will look at all the cuts from the rest of the episode\u00a0making\u00a018 minutes in total!<\/p>\n

The next scene occurs in the clothing shop. The first cut in this scene occurs when the shop keeper is on the phone to sir Alan. Strangely “No, No” has been cut from the phone call. Uncle Albert’s line has also been cut:<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “Don’t you worry Rodney, By the time he’s finished with you, you’ll look just like one of them!”<\/p>\n

Rodney: “That’s what I’m frightened off.”<\/p>\n

\"Royal<\/a>

In the next scene, we see the shooting party, But lines have also been cut from this sequence. After the line “I was rather pleased with that myself Patterson.” The following has been cut:<\/p>\n

Charles: “Pure luck, Henry, Pure luck!”<\/p>\n

Henry: “Ah, thank you, Charles. I thought you’d clear up the mystery. Go on. Let’s see if you can do better.”<\/p>\n

Further cuts occur in the tent scene after the line “No need, no need, sir. I have my own weapon.” This results in the following lines being lost:<\/p>\n

Del: “Albert, Would you mind?”<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “Albert, would you mind. He couldn’t care bloody less whether I minded or not! Fight for your country, go down in shark-infested seas and what thanks do you get? I tell you, no thanks, even from your own relatives. They turn you into a gun wallah! here you are, and don’t ask for nothing else.”<\/p>\n

Del: “Thank you my good man. you may retire.”<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “I thought I’d done that bloody ages ago!”<\/p>\n

Del: “He’s been with us for years. It’s a bit like the income tax.<\/p>\n

\"Thank<\/a>

Thank you my good man, you may retire<\/p><\/div>\n

After the shooting scene and Del’s explanation of where he got the gun a few cuts occur. In the original, Del says Iggie Iggins name twice, on the DVD he only says it once. At the end of this scene, the following is cut:<\/p>\n

Del: “That’s all.”<\/p>\n

Rodney: “I do not want to make a bloody impression!”<\/p>\n

Dell: “You will make an impression tonight and you can cut that language out for a start””<\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

Dell: “Cor! Look at the lungs on that!\u00a0 All right come on then!”<\/p>\n

Henry: “Ah really?”<\/p>\n

Del: “She’s the one with… you know, she’s got the energetic smile. You know you can’t tell whether she’s about to grin or whether she’s sucking a sweet. That one.”<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “Yeah, your right.”<\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

Kitchen worker: “Tell Mr. Patterson. He might be able to discreetly suggest that the gentleman moderates his drinking.”<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “Anyway, as I was saying, I never talk about it.”<\/p>\n

Waiter: “Never talk about what?”<\/p>\n

Uncle Albert: “About my days in the navy, all the battles and everything. But on this particular day in the south china sea the old captain came to us and said…”<\/p>\n
