The chandelier scene really worked for me because it was so well acted.0

Anyone on here who doesn't like the Heston/Athletic scene can hand in their Lifer membership badge NOW.4

So so funny and so many funny scenes you could discuss for hours.
All mentioned on here so far are classics to add for me
the Carphone /hang gliding - no Del we don’t have a car phone.
in Wanted when Del starts to call Rodney the Peckham Pouncer and Grandad warns him he can take a joke to far recalling when Del set up a call to tell Grandad he had won the pools. Grandad tells Del he was celebrating up the West End sipping champagne with a couple of sorts when he realised he didn’t even do the pools.
Grandad (Lennard Pearce) delivered all his lines so dead pan they were superb
I am laughing to myself as I read this thread and recall all the scenes being discussed.

Buster Merryfield was good but Lennard Pearce was a class above. Found him a better character and like you say delivered his lines superbly.MStuartPerm said:

As a character or actor? Or both. I’m Grandad for both although I don’t dislike either.up_the_valley said:

I think Albert is more charismatic, grandad is more dead pan.ValleyGary said:Albert for character but maybe cos I grew up with the later ones
The wife says grandad is boring. I wouldn't say that but I see where she's coming from.1 -
Literally just watching Del in the dentist chair.....
”my brothers outside in the van”
Dentist holds up syringe - “just a little prick”.
”oh - you know him then!”6 -
From that same episode.DamoNorthStand said:Literally just watching Del in the dentist chair.....
”my brothers outside in the van”
Dentist holds up syringe - “just a little prick”.
”oh - you know him then!”
Del arguing with the dentist receptionist
Receptionist: "what's wrong with you, you moron?"
(Del about to reply when Trigger approaches the desk)
Trigger: "oh just a couple of fillings" 🤣😂🤣😂
This makes me laugh every time.6 -
Has to be Albert for the character, mind you, grandad didn't get
too much of a go before he died sadly
Reminds me of another moment at grandads funeral when they throw what they
thought was grandads hat into the grave, only to find out later it was the vicars hat,
the look on his face was priceless1 -
I think grandad takes it for me. Hats off to buster though it can't have been easy filling grandads shoes/ slippers.0

Albert for all round character and acting, but Grandad when it comes to belting one-liners.
"Well even I'd have to think twice!"3 -
Grandad had a few great deadpan but knowing comments etc, but Albert shades it for me.
I like that they didn't just replace like-for-like.

Del may have been palace as a palace scarf in porch in episode one but no further mention so not definitive.
He says once mockingly "A Millwall fan could have worked that out".
Rodney's dad was Charlton and their mum.
Buster Merryfield was a in fan in real life and regular at the Den apparently.1 -
Can’t believe Buster died back in 1999
doesnt seem that long ago to me
Met him a couple of times at work as he used to work at NatWest before becoming full time actor and he was wheeled out at a couple of staff events.1 -

Incredible Lennard Pearce story - he met Hitler and even shock his hand when touring Europe in the 1930's. He later said if he'd known what was coming he would have killed him then!3
-
Haha Same episode, Grandad talking about the French Foreign Legion, describing them as a murderous bunch of cut-throats and "the scum of the earth" then, when asked by Del Boy if Grandad and his mate had joined, said "No Del, they wouldn't have us". Genius.North Lower Neil said:Rodney: You were gun-running in the middle of a civil war?!Grandad: Well, that's the best time to do it Rodney....3 -
When they go to France and realise Albert fathered half the village during the war6
-
‘Even after all these years, when I’m watching an old German war film, and I hear the word ‘nein’ I always think of Helga”.
‘Because that’s how many fingers she had?’

I reckon she’s actually Albie Littlewood’s daughter.4
