Only Fools and Horses: Season 2, Episode 1 The Long Legs of the Law

Russell Jones

"bacteria on toast" just refers to the bad hygiene at the cafe - as though his normal thing to serve is a load of dodgy unhygeinic food

Hayden King

To give you an idea of why Del was so worried about getting the watch back, the Flying Squad who are looking for the watches, are the branch of the police that investigate serious armed robberies.

Both these songs were written and performed by John Sullivan (the show's writer).

Hooky Street is a Nickname or term for living on the wrong side of the law. If you live on hooky Street you are a bit of a wheeler dealer - a bit dodgy (not necessarily a master criminal, more of a lovable rogue). Del mentions "hooky gear" a lot, or protests to Rodney that something isn't "hooky". They mean stolen goods and stolen, respectively.

Shepherds Bush is a place in London.

Closing Lyrics We've got some half price cracked ice and miles and miles of carpet tiles, T.V.s, deep freeze and David Bowie L.P.s, Ball games, gold chains, whatsnames, pictures frames and leather goods, And Trevor Francis track suits from a mush in Shepherds Bush, Bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush ... No income tax, no V.A.T., No money back, no guarantee, Black or white, rich or broke, We'll cut prices at a stroke...... God bless Hooky Street, Viva Hooky Street, Long live Hooky Street, C'est magnifique, Hooky Street, Magnifique, Hooky Street, Hooky Street (to fade)

Opening Lyrics Stick a pony (£25) in me pocket I'll fetch the suitcase from the van Cause if you want the best 'uns And you don't ask questions Then brother I'm your man Where it all comes from Is a mystery It's like the changing of the seasons And the tides of the sea But heres the one thats driving me berserk Why do only fools and horses work La la lala - la la la la la (etc)

@ CJW : Too true. I grew up hearing it but not listening to the words. Also, I am not tray fortay with the cockney linguistical dialect, so to speak.

Sanatogen is a vitamin company.

The comment was about the cafe and it's food quality my friend.

Glen Ford

that joke about him being a pervert but not dangerous because he wouldn't dress as a woman would never make it past the BBC censor board these days.

Claire Prowse

Great ! Been years since I've seen this one! The series picks up a bit more pace from this season onward x

He was probably just referring how to unclean the cafe was and how bad the food was.

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

Yeah he's just on about how scummy the cafe is :) thanks for the vid.

Christopher Horner

It's commenting on the state of the cafe and it's lack of cleanliness. An MOT is a certificate from a certified mechanic stating the vehicle you're driving is fit to be on the road.
