It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S1 E24 - Crown Toppers and Mattesons (Only Fools and Horses in the 90s with Wil Hodgson)

IBAITN is going for a trip down Hooky Street this time as comedian, comic artist and official barber of the pod Wil Hodgson returns to join us for a deep dive into the 90s era of Britain's favourite sitcom, Only Fools and Horses!

We look at its transition from the pure comedy of the 80s to a 'sitcom soap' hybrid of the 90s, as well as running down our personal favourite moments from this period of the show. We also tackle the thorny issue of whether or not the show should have returned in 2001 after it had been ended so perfectly in 1996 (spoiler - we all agree it shouldn't have), and find out how Boycie himself, John Challis, almost officiated at Wil's wedding!

Also this time: Tom Hardy writes in! OJ Simpson! Woolworths! MVC killed the CD! And much, much more...

Wil's new show 'Barbicidal Tendencies' is going to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer; South West locals can catch it at the Old Theatre Royal in Bath on Sunday June 12th: https://www.komedia.co.uk/bath/comedy/barbicidal-tendencies/
