Fans of Only Fools and Horses have called the show's 'worst' episode 'terrible'.

The show, which originally aired on BBC One, first aired in 1981 and lasted seven series with a final episode airing on Christmas Day in 2003.

Sir David Jason appeared as Del Boy alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney Trotter and the late Buster Merryfield as Uncle Albert, who passed away in 1999.

Only Fools and Horses attracted millions of viewers and has often been described as one of the best British TV shows, and has even inspired a stage musical based on the characters. 

However, fans of the show have recently been discussing which episode is the 'worst' and they all agreed on one 'terrible' addition. 

Only Fools and Horses fans slam show's 'worst' episode

Discussing the matter in the Reddit group, r/OnlyFoolsAndHorses, one fan of the show asked: "Which is the worst episode and why.

"Not for how the characters behave, or characters acting out of character, just the one you least enjoy because it’s not funny or the plot is boring."

Fans were quick to share their opinions, with many picking the episode titled 'A Royal Flush' as the worst.

A Royal Flush was the 1986 Christmas special and featured Rodney and Del Boy Trotter staying at the Berkshire home of Lady Victoria, a second cousin of the Queen.

However, after attending an opera show and going on a clay pigeon shoot, Del Boy begins to insult Rodney after having a few drinks, showing a different side to him.

Discussing the episode on the Reddit group, one fan of Only Fools and Horses wrote: "A Royal Flush is terrible."

Another said: "A royal flush is worse, but thankfully it was so bad they never laid del boy on that thick again."

A third said: "It's a Lazy choice but Royal Flush."
