This Miffs Me

September 8 will mark the 40th anniversary of Only Fools and Horses:

To mark the milestone, some of the show's actors reunited in The Nags Head, in Central London, for a cheap pint.

The pop-up pub, courtesy of Comedy TV channel Gold, opens to the public today for three days only - Thursday, September 2, Friday September 3, and Saturday, September 4.

Gwyneth Strong played Rodney Trotter's wife Cassandra between 1989 and 2003 enjoyed a tipple '1980s prices' paying only 83p for a pint.

Okay this miffs me. David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, who played Del Boy & Rodney, can't show up? Camon, David Jason is 81, how many more chance will he have? It's nice of Strong to show up, but even she didn't make an appearance until Season 6.  Meanwhile, Philip Pope was in one episode - albeit a classic - and Andree Bernard was in two with a total of about 5 lines.

At least Pope as Tony Angelino did have one of the funniest moments from the entire show. Enjoy, people!
