pesky1972 4,912 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Was watching Only Fools just this morning, the gween, gween gwass episode. Iconic show blessed with a great cast, and wouldn’t have been the same without Challis as Boycie. If I ever hear the name ‘Marlene’.., my brain instantly repeats it in Boycie’s drawling version Made his mark. RIP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 20,226 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 The episode where Marlene wants to adopt a kid, so Del Boy gets them one, Boycie looks at it and delivers the unforgettable line; "it's as black as Newgates knocker ! ". Totally un-pc, and would never be allowed these days, but absolutely hilarious at the time ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
