Third Watch (1999-2005): S01E16 "Nature or Nurture"

[all-action-all-picture]

Let the ducking and diving, as well as some wheeling and dealing, commence as Del buys a consignment of "executive briefcases" from Trigger. Rodney is immediately suspicious about the deal though.

Del - "He who dares wins. The French have got a word for people like me". Rodney - "Yeah, the English have got got a couple of good ones and all".

Meanwhile, Grandad is not happy. He asked for an Emperor Burger but Rodney got him a Cheeseburger.

David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and Lennard Pearce as Del, Rodney and Grandad in "Big Brother", the first episode of Only Fools and Horses. Originally shown on UK television 44 years ago on Tuesday 8 September 1981.

The episode cost around £28,000 to make and attracted an audience of 9.2 million. It wasn't initially considered a hit though.

One problem the show had was its title. Not everybody knew what Only Fools and Horses meant. The first series had a theme written by prolific composer Ronnie Hazlehurst. For the second series a different theme tune was used. It was written and performed by John Sullivan, the series creator, and helpfully explained the meaning of the phrase in the lyrics and gave viewers an idea what to expect. John had written it for the first series but it hadn't been used. I understand that the instrumental theme tune has been replaced on many repeats and home media releases of the first series by the now more familiar Only Fools and Horses song. The Hazlehurst theme can still be heard during the first episode as Del tries in vain to sell his executive briefcases around various local market dealers and shops.

Roger Lloyd-Pack as Trigger is the only member of the supporting cast to appear in this episode and refers to Rodney as Dave right from the start.

The climax of the film Frequency (2000) while Jack Shepherd is attempting to kill the Sullivans in two separate timelines connected through the radio where you can hear both fights happening simultaneously is utterly insane.

Like in 1969 he incapacitates Frank and tries to kill his wife AT THE SAME TIME as in 1999 when the older Jack Shepherd breaks into the same house to kill John for knowing he was behind the Nightingale Murders.

And the gunshots and yelling over the radio actually saves 6-year-old John's life because the sheer confusion made him hesitate long enough for Frank to SHOOT HIS HAND OFF

Which then changes the timeline so the older Jack Shepherd---who was using that hand to pin down older John Sullivan---NO LONGER HAS A HAND as the entire house changes around them revealing older Frank Sullivan with the same shotgun ready to finish what he started 30 years ago

This movie is trippy but an utter masterpiece
