Jimothy Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 As others have said, comedy genius! No doubt they will tribute the new episode/s to him RIP Trigger! Was a story couple of weeks ago on the bbc website that a new episode was in the pipeline. No storyline was mentioned though. RIP Trigger.
StanSP Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Denzel: It's closed. You said it was open 24/7. Trigger: Yeah but not at night! Brilliant. So many funny moments courtesy of Trigger/the writers.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 The Class of 72 where slater does the reunion. The bit where trigs been standing in the dark for an hour Also in the same episode where he thought camaraderie was the Italian left back
darko2k7 Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Rip , a true comedy legend My favorite scene although this is the only clip i can find
cityfanlee23 Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 I think one of the best ones is when they go to france for uncle alberts memorial, Del and Rodney have met up with Denzel in the wine warehouse, and Rodney starts to twig that del has set it up, All of a sudden, Trigger: Del! Rodney! Denzle: It's trig! Would you beleive it! Rodney:Only if I'd been heavily sedated! Del: Hello, Trig! What are you doing here? Trigger: You said meet us here at four o'clock! Del: I don't believe you sometimes, Trigger! Rodney: This is a set-up, isn't it?
ousefox Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Great actor. I watched Vicar of Dibley before Only Fools so probably remember him for that character more. RIP
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 The best one for me has to be 'dates'... Trig wearing that fookin Blue suit! Trig... I got a date with a lady.... The others....'are you sure'?? Comedy genius and possibly one of the best known of all comedy characters... ever. 'We had camaradarie'.... 'Was he that Italian boy'? lol
Fox92 Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 The broom scene "this broom has had 14 different handles" etc is taken from Open All Hours.
Uncle Albert Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 The broom scene isn't up there for me on the funniest Trigger moments, that was coming to the point of Only Fools where they tried to make Trigger even funnier, when the simple stuff was always the funniest. Either way when it's bedtime for me tonight Only Fools will be going on out of respect for this TV Legend.
Soar Fox Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Denzil: That's Derek Trotter in there, not bloody Einstein! Trigger: Del knows what he's talking about. And I don't see what the Beatles' manager has got to do with it anyway.

Either way when it's bedtime for me tonight Only Fools will be going on out of respect for this TV Legend. I agree with that. The early Trigger stuff was brilliant. Can hardly remember a lot of them but a couple of lines in each episode as enough to have you laughing. Though I'd did love this from the later episodes. Trigger: What you up to Dave? Rodney: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor. Trigger: No words to this song Dave? Rodney: No Trigger, it's an instrumental. Del Boy: Alright Trigger? What you doing? Trigger: I'm listening to Mozart's Concerto No.5 in D-Minor. Del Boy: Okay. Trigger: It's the karaoke version.

Guest Bilo Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Let's all raise a toast to Cassandra and Rodney! CASSANDRA AND RODNEY! DAVE!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 RLP great actor, saw him in Midsummers Night Dream years ago at the Haymarket - could do the classical stuff just as easy. Apparently he used to hate people calling him Trigger (ie, public who met him in real life) There's a story that some people who were shouting, "Hey look, It's Trigger! Hi Trig!" at him in when he was at traffic lights in his car, so he jumped the light to get away from them, but a police car pulled him over and when they stopped the copper said, "Hey, look lads, it's Trigger!"
MikeyT Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Some Trigger quotes From Series 2, episode 'Ashes to Ashes' - Trigger: You knew my Grandad Arthur, didn't you Mr Trotter. Grandad: Yeah, I knew Arthur alright. Trigger: He was a smashing man, he took care of me when my Mum went. Rodney: Where was your Dad? Trigger: He died a couple of years before I was born. From Series 7, 'Three men a woman and baby' – Mike: So? Trigger: What? Mike: What name have they decided on? Trigger: If it's a girl they're calling it Sigourney after an actress, and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney after Dave! From Christmas 1989, The Jolly Boy's Outing - Jevon: You gotta give Del he's due's ain't ya, he did all the catering by himself. Mickey: Leave off Jevon, can you see Delboy standing in the kitchen cutting up all them loaves. He probably got some idiot to do it for him. Trigger: No, I made em for him. From Christmas 1992, 'Mother Natures Son' – Denzil: It's closed! Trigger: (Checks watch) Well, it's a bit late, innit? Del: What d'you mean 'a bit late?' You said it was open twenty-four hours a day! Trigger: Yeah, but not at night! From Christmas 2002, 'Strangers On The Shore' - Trigger: Sometimes I think about the future. I don't want to end up a lonely bachelor like my cousin Ronnie. Then again he always had a strange taste in women. Denzil: In what way? Trigger: Well, they were men! And finally... Del Boy: We had Denzil in goal, we had Monkey Harris at right-back, we had...we had camaraderie. Trigger: Was that the Italian boy?
Vlad the Fox Posted 17 January 2014 Posted 17 January 2014 There seen where Del Boy falls through the hatch, is reaction his hilarious. Plus when del tells him that to pull the yuppie women they need to talk money. Trig: 'I saw one of those old five pound notes the other day.'
Alf Bentley Posted 17 January 2014 Posted 17 January 2014 I almost feel this as a personal loss, despite "Only Fools and Horses" not being a massive favourite. Back in the 90s, I spent a year doing a clerical job in a Cov car factory and my boss was known to everyone as Trigger. Not due to being exceptionally dim, but because he was the spitting image of him - right down to his easygoing personal manner with people. Once, one of the supervisors working under him, who loathed him, went and stood face-to-face with him, in front of the whole team and absolutely yelled "Mike, you're a fvcking cvnt!". Mike/Trigger's response was "I say, steady on there, Ben!" - and he didn't raise any complaint or disciplinary action against the bloke, just got on with being a pretty effective boss as far as I could tell. Being a born-again Christian had something to do with it, but I had a strange respect for that attitude.
Guest MattP Posted 17 January 2014 Posted 17 January 2014 What was Trigger's favourite TV channel?Rodney.
Dr The Singh Posted 17 January 2014 Posted 17 January 2014 DOn't make them like they used to, so much of todays humour is crude and unintelligent!! RIP
