Uncle Albert

The world lost Buster Merryfield 21 years ago today. After working 40 years at a bank he got interested in acting and somehow found himself part of the cast of Only Fools and Horses with the unenviable task of having to follow in Grandad's steps in the Trotter's flat, which he did wonderfully for over a decade.

While THIS is his funniest scenes, an all-time OFAH classic, here's a clip from his first episode, after Grandad's funeral when Del tries to return him home and realizes the pattern of family members ditching Albert when they grew weary of him - one thing that Del and Rodney never did.
