Nick Lyndhurst Worlds Colliding! 🤗 🕺

One of the greatest - and my own favorite - scene from Only Fools and Horses is of course the famous chandelier scene, and one of the big things about the scene was what a terrible struggle it was for the entire cast and crew to not laugh out loud and ruin the increasingly expensive (for the show at the time) only take. See the whole behind the scenes story here.

Meanwhile, I was just reminded that a few years earlier while playing on the Porridge sequel Going Straight with the singular Ronnie Barker (who'd of course been starring alongside David Jason in Open All Hours) Lyndhurst had been a part of a remarkably similar scene, except part of his role in that instance was to laugh out loud.

The world's a weird fucking circle, people.
