Only Fools and Horses (1981)
TV Show
First aired
Yuppy Love (Series 6, 1989)
The bar fall. Del, fresh from watching Wall Street and dressed for the part, goes to lean casually on the bar and drops straight through the open hatch. The scene topped a 2020 survey of the greatest TV moments and won the Radio Times fans' poll for the show's 40th anniversary. The episode also introduces Cassandra, Rodney's future wife, and opens the first series of longer, 50-minute episodes. Even people who never saw the show know the fall, but it lands far harder in context.
