Thought of as the best episode by many fans and cast members alike. It's pretty hard to argue with these opinions. The second half is stronger than the first which maybe implies that it isn't perfect but it's certainly damn close.
I know that some fans think that the addition of Cassandra and Raquel as love interests for the Trotters kills the show a bit but I disagree. It makes for more nuanced plot-lines and relationships, the show growing as its characters do, although I do find myself nostalgic for the sitcom style 30 minute episodes at times.
Given that this episode comes off the back of the excellent series 6 and with the brilliant series 7 just around the corner, The Jolly Boy's Outing has the privilege of being smack bang in the middle as Only Fools and Horses was on one of the greatest rolls in television history.
Stupendous!
