Only Fools And Horses Quiz And Answers

Right, stop your tea-making and put down that dodgy briefcase, because we’re about to dive into the absolute goldmine of Only Fools and Horses. You know, the show that taught us all about the importance of family, the dangers of ‘Trigger’s broom’, and how to spot a genuine, totally-not-stolen chandelier. So, grab a mug of something strong, and let’s see if you’re a true Peckham scholar or just a right old plonker.

Let’s be honest, this quiz isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s for the legends who can quote Del Boy’s ‘He who dares, wins, Rodney’ in their sleep. It’s for the souls who know that ‘Lovely jubbly’ is a perfectly acceptable business greeting. And it’s definitely for anyone who’s ever tried to flog a bit of ‘antique’ tat at a car boot sale.

We’re going to test your knowledge on everything from Nelson Mandela House to the infamous chandelier incident. This isn’t just a quiz; it’s a rite of passage. So, put your flat cap on, channel your inner Grandad, and let’s get cracking.

The ‘Mange Tout’ Warm-Up Questions

Let’s start gently, like a dodgy handshake from Boycie. First up: what was the full name of Del Boy’s beloved three-wheeled van? If you said Reliant Regal Supervan III, you’re already winning. If you just said ‘the yellow one’, we need to talk.

Next: Who was the only person who could genuinely understand a word of Uncle Albert’s war stories? The answer is no one, not even the fish. But technically, it’s usually just a wall or a half-asleep Rodney.

And for a bonus point: what magical phrase did Del Boy use to charm a lady at the bar? Was it a) ‘Lovely jubbly’, b) ‘Mange tout’, or c) ‘Would you like to see my portfolio of genuine fake handbags?’? The answer is always ‘Mange tout’.

The ‘He Who Dares’ Tricky Round

Now, let’s crank up the heat. In the episode ‘The Jolly Boys’ Outing’, what unfortunate item did Del Boy accidentally knock over in the pub? If you said a grandfather clock, you are a true fan. It’s a masterpiece of comedy timing, even if it was a disaster for the Trotters.

Remember the time Trigger got an award for ‘using the same broom for 20 years’? But here’s the kicker: how many new heads and handles had it actually had? The answer is 17 new heads and 14 new handles. So, technically, it’s a completely different broom! That’s logic on a whole other level.

And of course, we must talk about the most famous pratfall in British TV history. When Del Boy fell through the bar in the Nag’s Head, what exact drink was he holding? It was a cocktail, of course. A pina colada. Because nothing says ‘Peckham businessman’ like a fancy cocktail at 11 in the morning.

The ‘This Time Next Year, We’ll Be Millionaires’ Expert Round

Right, you’re doing brilliantly, so let’s get serious. Which episode features the iconic bathtub falling through the ceiling of the Trotter’s flat? That’s ‘The Frog’s Legacy’. And why was there a bathtub up there in the first place? Because the vicar, Reverend Stuart, was having a nap in it. Don’t ask.

Quick-fire question: What is the name of the dodgy chandelier shop that Del and Rodney buy the ‘antique’ from? It was ‘Chandeliers Galore’ in Margate. Which, naturally, is run by a bloke who doesn’t know a genuine crystal from a bog-standard lightbulb.

And for the ultimate test: what was the exact value of the antique watch that finally made the Trotters millionaires? It was £6.2 million. But let’s be real, the true value was the memories. And the fact that they still ended up broke by the end. Classic Trotters.

Answers You Probably Knew (But Let’s Check)

1. What is Del Boy’s real first name? Derek. I know, right? Who calls a kid ‘Del Boy’ and then expects them to be a stockbroker?

2. What does ‘Mange tout’ actually mean? It’s French for ‘eat everything’. Which is exactly what Del Boy thinks is the pinnacle of sophistication. Honestly, it’s like a secret code word for being dead posh.

3. Who was the actor that played Grandad? Lennard Pearce. And when he sadly passed away, we got Uncle Albert, played by Buster Merryfield. And we loved him, even if he did talk about the war a lot.

4. What was the name of the Trotter’s dog? He didn’t have a dog. But they did have a parrot called ‘Wayne’s parrot’ for about five minutes. You’ll remember it was a ropey-looking thing that pecked Del.

5. What is the name of Cassandra’s father? Alan. Played by the brilliant Denis Lill. He was the perfect ‘posh git’ to wind up Del.

The ‘You Plonker, Rodney’ Final Round

If you got all those right, congratulations! You are officially a certified Peckham legend. You can now walk into any pub in the UK and hold your head high. If you got a few wrong, don’t worry. You’re still better off than the time Del tried to sell a broken hairdryer as a ‘vintage air blower’.

Let’s be honest, the best thing about Only Fools and Horses isn’t the quizzing—it’s the feeling of family. It’s the reminder that no matter how much you muck things up, your loved ones are there. And that a bit of optimism and a dodgy three-wheeled van can get you through anything.

So, go on. Pour yourself a glass of ‘champagne’ (it’s probably fizzy pop). Have a laugh. And remember: this time next year, we’ll all be millionaires... in memories. Lovely jubbly!
