Tales of the Unexpected 'What have you been up to lately?' Peter Barkworth Benjamin Whitrow
Have you ever wondered what happened to your first love? Do you ever think your life would have have a far happier and successful life if you'd somehow been able to stay together?
I believe we all have those thoughts...
In this often overlooked but utterly brilliant episode, we follow the fortunes of two washed-up Z-listed actors, both has-been never-beens, long forgotten about and as about as relevant as a discarded fish and chips newspaper sheet blowing around in swirly drafts of wind.
These two old actors bump into each other in London minutes after Fergus has killed his wife and is planning to making a run for it. However, the calling of the Pub proves irresistible and they both start sharing what life would have been.
It turns out Fergus has never forgiven his old comrade Richard for stealing and marrying his first love, and he has thought of her everyday.
But he must escape first.......

A con-man preys on an elderly woman who lives in a house full of glorious antiques. He thinks he's conned her but the lady soon turns the tables! Enjoy... #tale...

    I always love 'Only Fools And Horses'... Everything about it - John Sullivan's opening and closing theme songs, the opening title sequence, all the characters, scripts, storylines, the great humour (which no-one can ever get away with this day and age!), you name it... Such a brilliant classic comedy series, up there with the best of all time.

    It's kind of mad how a boot connecting perfectly with a leather ball on a muddy pitch was a life-changing moment for Ronnie Radford and (the then almost unknown) John Motson. It's just one of those moments where the stars are aligned and everything about this clip is just perfect.

    Clearly Charlie was a callow cad. He used these shallow cheapskate tricks to keep women interested. They must have been thick headed dummies.. because Charlie was a lazy, insolent fool. He made a career of seeing the world on someone else’s dime. Arthur should have put him out.. packed him up.. and told his lady friend the truth.. they would have given him what he was owed.. which would have cemented his engagement for sure..

    Fun fact about Cyril Cusack, the patriarch of an acting family to rival the Redgraves. He was the father of Paul Cusack, Sinéad Cusack, Sorcha Cusack, Niamh Cusack, Pádraig Cusack and Catherine Cusack. He was the father-in-law of Jeremy Irons. He was the grandfather of Samuel Irons, Max Irons, Megan Cusack, Beth Cooke, and Calam Lynch.
