Only Fools and Horses: Hole in One (1985)
Season 4, Episode 3
8/10
Solid comedy enhanced by the performances
29 September 2023
The Trotters are short of money and looking to make ends meet.

This is well written comedy that combines the usual funny banter and a pretty inventive story that has a hilarious reveal about one character.

Del, Rodney, and Uncle Albert are used perfectly by John Sullivan who also lampoons various aspects of individuals who run compensation scams. This also follows on well from the portrayal of Granddad's passing in the previous episode. My favourite scenes are all set in the court room.

David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst, and Buster Merryfield are on top form as always.

Warning - there are some racial slurs used by Albert that feel very authentic for the era and the character's generation. If you are offended by this, heed the warning.

For me the episode is a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.
