the broom sketch where trigger says he got an award from the council and he has a picture of him recieving the award with his broom i his hand. It has had 14 new heads and 19 new handles. (i know this is an old joke) but then sid says "How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then"?

To which trigger replies "Well here's a picture of it, what more do you want?" (That was the best line i thought.)

Delboy said that's to be expected when facing a lion! Albert said no I soiled

I like the bit at the end of that episode when Uncle Albert has fallen down the pub cellar to make a fradulent compo claim.

When pushing Albert away from the court room in a wheelchair Del suddenly stops and, remembering that it was all a con, protests 'Just a minute, just a minute. Why am I pushing you? You can walk you soppy old sod!'

Brilliantly acted and delivered.
