Yes, people may say, it is only a sitcom, but I am sure some die hard fans of " Only Fools And Horses " cannot help but wonder how certain episode endings were resolved, i. I think this may have been a deliberate ploy by John Sullivan to keep the viewers guessing as to how the storyline was resolved, or for them to work out what happened next.
One big example is, in " The Sky's the Limit ", Del finds out the satellite dish he bought was stolen from the main runway at Gatwick Airport, and at the end of the episode a plane is flying towards the Trotters flat in their towerblock. The next episode " The Chance of a Lunchtime ", begun with Del pouring a cup of tea, and no mention at all about the plane coming towards their flat. Obviously the plane managed to swerve at the last minute.
So this page tries to explore the likeliest outcome to some of these "permanent cliffhangers". Of course, not every episode did have such a cliffhanger, and the outcome was tied up at the end of the episode, such as " Big Brother " where Del said he dumped the briefcases in the river and then invited Rodney down to the pub.
And the odd episode had such a cliffhanger which was mentioned in subsequent episodes such as originally in " The Jolly Boys' Outing " where the end of the episode saw Rodney come into Del's flat with his suitcases, Cassandra threw him out for hitting her boss. In the next episode, " Rodney Come Home ", Rodney said she threw him out but only for a couple of days. Anyway back to "permanent cliffhanger" episodes.

OFAH episodes with endings which were never referred to again in subsequent episodes and the likeliest outcome. He finds out the person who rammed him is the Australian Man that he sold a dodgy car to. The Aussie chased Del and Rodney down the street into the night and the episode ended. Likely outcome : The Aussie man caught up with them and Del offered to pay the money to have his brakes repaired, or it is more likely that they got away.
As the Aussie did not know exactly where Del lived, he could not trace him. But Del still had to pay Boycie to have his Jag repaired. But she left the phone off the hook and ran up a huge phone bill as she connected to Tim the talking clock in America. Grandad found that amazing and said "Hello" and Del and Rodney shouted at him to hang it up, and the end credits rolled. Maybe he paid it off over time, and was doing so in subsequent episodes but this was never referred to, or he managed to explain to the phone company with the note Pauline left and was relieved of paying the bill, meaning Pauline's revenge plan was in vain.
In the end Del had given up and when he saw Grandad had conned him, he threw a bunch of leaflets at him and chased him up the stairs with Rodney trying to calm him down, and the episode ended. The Long Legs of the Law - Rodney dates a policewoman, Sandra , and when he brings her to the flat for a nightcap, she recognises a lot of stolen gear from police photos. She tells Rodney this when he takes her back to her flat.
She gives him 24 hours to get rid of the gear. The following night they are spring cleaning their flat. The episode ends when Del chases Rodney when he says they should keep some deodorant in case Sandra comes round a bit early. Likely outcome : Sandra came round and saw all the stolen gear had been disposed of and gave them a stiff warning, and Rodney broke up with her. The Yellow Peril , Del, Rodney and Grandad leave the cemetery after looking at him and Rodney's late mothers illuminated monument at night, worrying they will get their collars felt, and the council may take action against them for Del painting it luminous, at the time being unaware the paint is such, as he painted the grave during the day, and the paint only glows at night time.

Focusing on some of the original sitcom's characters in the aftermath of the war, by its second season it had plummeted in the ratings and had horrendous reviews. TV Guide has since listed it as the 7th worst TV show ever, and Time put it down as "One of the worst ideas of the 20th century".
While we're talking rubbish TV spinoffs, let's talk about Joey. Well, he was happy enough. Then we had his lame sequel series about his new life in LA. It amazingly ran for two seasons but its quality was nowhere near that of its predecessor. And now we're left with a weird prospect: if Friends ever did come back, does that mean they have to kinda bring back or at least mention Gina, Alex and Michael? We had to look them up. This is a bit of a rogue entry, but when else are we going to have an excuse to talk about this criminally underrated CGI kids show from the s?
Honestly, it's awesome, watch it. The final episode of its third season was perfect. Enzo finally found Bob in the Web, everyone returned to Mainframe, they defeated Megabyte, and everything literally rebooted and all was safe and well.
