Only Fools And Horses episode 'was so dark and cruel' it was banned from being shown on TV


An episode of Only Fools And Horses was dubbed so 'dark and cruel' that the show's creator banned it from being aired again.

Yet as the group sit down for dinner, Del ends up drinking too much and cruelly mocks Rodney by implying he's set to marry the Duke's daughter and bringing up his conviction for possession of cannabis. The BBC sitcom is known for being feel-good TV but one episode entitled A Royal Flush veered away from comedy and became 'hard to watch' (L-R Lennard Pearce as Granddad, David Jason as Del Boy and Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney) At the start of the year David said he would be happy to take on the role of Del Boy again but added that a reboot would be unlikely after the main writer of the hit TV series, John Sullivan, tragically passed away in 2011.
