Only Fools and Horses episode banned for dark content returns in edited DVD release

An episode of *Only Fools and Horses* titled "A Royal Flush" was banned from airing again due to its dark and cruel content. The 1986 Christmas special featured Del Boy mocking Rodney in a way that was deemed inappropriate, leading the show's creator to cut scenes from the final edit. The episode was later released on DVD in 2005, but only after significant edits were made on the creator's orders. Despite its initial airing, the episode was considered hard to watch, prompting discussions about its tone and content. In a recent interview, actor David Jason expressed mixed feelings about his iconic role as Del Boy, stating it overshadows his other work. He also mentioned a desire to perform at the National Theatre, reflecting on unfulfilled career aspirations.
