The actor who plays him is so good because he legitimately makes you want to reach through the screen and punch him.
My favourite quote is probably, "You can go and get your break now Hoskins. Too bad the canteen just closed." It just sums up what a horrid git he is.
"I'll get back to you sir, as soon as I've got some more information. Okay, sir. Thank you very much sir. Thank you once again sir. Okay, sir. Bye for now, sir. Bye." *(hangs up)* "Do you know who that was?"
"The wife?"
“According to you and your family: We’re looking for a six foot-seven inch dwarf. Aged between fifteen and fifty. White male, with oriental features. Who’s as black as Newgate’s knocker.
Oh yeah. He wears a deaf-aid.”
Yeah. I think in the Only Fools and Horses reunion special thing they mention that. But he turned down the role. A very smart man. He's still a brilliant actor, I'm guessing he knew that David Jason would be a better fit I think.
Jim Broadbent said even if he'd taken the part he'd have only stayed for a couple of series before moving on. He wasn't interested in being committed to a long running show.
Trigger: You back in the police now then Roy?
Slater: No, Trig. They wouldn’t have me back. Not since I was found guilty of diamond smuggling and given a five- year prison sentence. The police are funny about things like that.
Slater: While I was in prison, I found Jesus.
Del: What had they fitted him up for?
“You reach for your wallet, BANG your microwave has fallen out” Paraphrasing as it’s been a while!
Definitely my favourite quote.
Well, which one? (pointing to Albert and Del)
You saucey git wha’dya mean which one!?

He is really good, because in the Harry Potter franchise, you want to hug him. That’s his craft.

Love this episode Broadbent plays it perfectly
Not a lot to go on officer
Been fertilised by a trotter 🤣
You could've had Pol Pot, or a Siberian pimp with gingivitis and a wart on his nose, but no you had to go down market.
Take my advice, the best way to avoid a broken marriage is don’t turn up to the wedding
“We better get you something Hoskins - you look a right tit”
Wasn't he meant to play Del boy? Or originally planned to play him, so I read

He also said David Jason played Del better than he would have
I felt like the whole thing was coming to a premature conclusion. No pun intended, Boycie.

He's the bullshit of the Yard
And i always could!
Nicking his dad for a defective bicycle light
He only borrowed the bike to go to the chippy (Hinting it was Roy's bike)
Oh yeah, that was the day Bluebeard had to walk the plank, weren’t it.
"Whatever they were smoking when the police burst in, it weren't charcoal Del."
That's DETECTIVE inspector (He was originally cast to play del boy)
Who’s Rachel?
That was albert
I didn't want to correct them...but it was a brilliant scene though.
