The famous Only Fools and Horses scene where Del Boy falls through the bar has been named the funniest sitcom moment of all time.
The BBC programme won the top spot in a poll revealed by TV channel Gold to celebrate 30 years of the comedy channel.
In the scene, Del Boy – played by Sir David Jason – goes to lean back on the bar that he had been resting on. However, he hadn’t noticed that the bar was a liftable slot for waiters to move through.
As he goes to lean back on it while saying “play it nice and cool son, nice and cool” the bar slot is lifted, causing him to fall straight onto the ground. Meanwhile, his friend Trigger turns around to look for him.
In a poll commissioned by Gold to determine the results, 2000 British adults and children voted for their favourite scene.

The cottage which ‘played’ the home of Geraldine Granger in BBC’s The Vicar of Dibley has gone on sale - for £900k.

LONDON -- Boxoffice blockbusters failed to unseat local soaps, entertainment shows and comedy programs this year as the most popular Christmas Day viewing in the U.K.
Movies proved unable to crack the top 10 most-watched programs over the holiday, as the ubiquity of film channels and DVDs seems to have resulted in smaller audiences for the once highly anticipated theatrical hits.
BBC1's big Christmas Day movie, "Monsters Inc.", was watched by an audience of 5.1 million, while ITV1's airing of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (known in the U.S. as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone") scored just 4.8 million.
They finished far behind the most-watched U.K. Christmas Day program, the first half of two-part comedy drama "The Vicar of Dibley", starring Dawn French, which scored 11.4 million viewers.
The show, which saw chocoholic vicar Geraldine Granger appear to finally have found romance, aired at 9:30 p.m. on BBC1.
Britain's long-running soaps "Eastenders" (BBC1) and "Coronation Street" (ITV1) took second and third place, with 10.7 million viewers and 9.6 million viewers, respectively, for their 9 p.m.
