The classic British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, written by John Sullivan, first hit BBC screens in 1981 and went on to run for seven series, finishing in 2003 after more than 60 episodes and a string of Christmas specials. It became one of the most beloved comedies in television history, with David Jason's Del Boy and Nicholas Lyndhurst's Rodney Trotter providing a mix of slapstick, warmth and razor-sharp humour that continues to resonate decades later.
Everyone has their favourite bit of Peckham mayhem - from falling through bars to exploding dolls - but these are ten of the very best, ranked by the staff at Scalextric, from 10 to 1.

The gag - lifted from Heroes and Villains (1996) - was delivered so straight it became comedy gold. Sid's baffled response, "How can it be the same broom?", is met with Trigger pulling out a photo of it.
The article calls it "a moment of pure comedy genius".

The Sotheby's auction scene is legendary. As the bids climb higher and higher, Del and Rodney faint with shock before realising they've become overnight millionaires.
It was the most-watched episode of any British sitcom, drawing 24.3 million viewers, and for many fans, the perfect place the show could have ended.

Trying to look smooth in front of two women, Del leans casually - only for the hinged section of the bar to lift, sending him crashing to the floor. Rodney's helpless laughter at the other end of the pub only adds to the brilliance.
As the ranking put it: "Surely there can be no other winner than the most famous moment in British sitcom history."
