Trivia / Only Fools And Horses S 8 E 03 Time On Our Hands

• Acting for Two: Tessa Peake-Jones (Raquel) also provided the illusory voice of Del and Rodney's mother, Joan. This was done partly to save money on hiring a voice actress just to deliver a couple of lines, and partly because John Sullivan felt it was logical that Del would be attracted to someone who reminded him of his mother.
• Life Imitates Art: In 2018, the prop pocket watch that was used as the Harrison Lesser Watch in this episode was itself auctioned. A fan of the show bought it for £28,000.
• What Could Have Been: Del, Rodney, and Albert were originally intended to become cartoon characters as they walked off into an animated sunset at the end. It was John Sullivan's opinion that they could no longer be real, and thus end the series. At the last minute, it was changed to enable a sequel trilogy.
