Dodgy Del Boy Trotter loved flogging TVs, deep freezes and David Bowie LPs around south London, but when it came to being cheeky, his one-liners were absolute comedy gold. Del’s funny quotes have had Only Fools and Horses fans in stitches for decades, all thanks to show writer John Sullivan.
The wit and wisdom of Peckham’s top entrepreneur spans from the BBC sitcom’s launch in 1981 to its final episode in 2003, and the humor never gets old. We’re all familiar with the famous mantra “next time we’ll be millionaires,” but how many of Del Boy’s one-liners can you remember?
