yeah, much better than last year.
I think the next one will be next Chritsmas as they did orginally say they'd play all three "new ones" quite soon after last Chritsmas' but then they decided to leave the second one til this Xmas so I guess the next one will be next year.

i found it hilarious because I have a friend called Gary (and that isn't his real name, everyone just calls him that. Abit like Trigger and Dave). and this Gary aint the sharpest knife in the rack (although he can say a bit more in english than just "Gary")

They spend ages trying to park the van, Trigger helping them with directions and as soon as Rodney parks it "You can't park there Rodney" says Trigger. Hilarious :P although I did see that clip on the Only Fools And Horses Documentry last Friday.

didnt watch it all (cos everytime damien had a line it made me cringe, and nicholas lyndhurst seemed to be acting very poorly indeed - again cringeworthy) but it looked a bit shit. the 'gary' thing was very funny in principle though; i'll give you that :)

was it me or did rodney overdo the whole 'i dont believe this/you!' catchphrase? as i say i didnt see it all. celebrity millionaire with emma bunton and will young was on. the bit i caught was amazanté...

what is another name for the pope? a> pontiff b> pontiac c> poniard d>poncho. they asked the audience :)

Very funny, as usual. Certainly a lot better than last years, but nowhere near the best on ever, which IMO is either 'Yuppy Love' or 'Chain Gang'.

Sidla's scoop: In next year's Christmas special, supposedly the last one ever, it turns out that Rodney and Del do not share the same father as they have always believed. It turns out that Rodney is really the son of the gangster 'Freddy the Frog', who we last heard of in 'The Frog's Legacy'.

More on that later...

First of all, OMG!
Secondly, is it me, or does that not make sense? Would Freddy the Frog not be the father, which would mean Del and Rodney share the same mum, but not the same dad (which was covered some years back in a xmas speacial, but it turned out to be wrong)?

I love the frog's legacy!
