Nothing right now.
But in a little over 90 minutes...
The Only Fools & Horses theme tune...
64 times
At 9pm, my three best friends and I, will be embarking on a back to back marathon of all 64 episodes.
Completely uninterrupted. Well, apart from the 6am Hollyoaks omnibus...
NOTHING ever gets in the way of the 6am Hollyoaks omnibus!
Even though I've already seen every episode during the week
Well when you get to our age - i.e. ancient
You don't kinda tend to need huge amounts of sleep...
Plenty of coffee, vitamin c and Pro Plus on hand though, should the need arise...
We're all such massive fans of the show...
Have seen every episode, like, a zillion times...
John Sullivan was a genius.
And we absolutely love Sir David Jason!
A Touch Of Frost has certainly gotta be one of my personal all time favourite shows.
No show on this planet, however, comes even remotely close to my sheer, absolute love of Hollyoaks!
Have said for ages that we're gonna make this a thing...
Have just never quite got around to it.
Well tonight is the night!
We then figured that if we were gonna do this...
Let's kinda make it worthwhile.
So we asked all our friends and neighbours if they'd be willing to sponsor us...
Per full episode watched. Or just simply, a flat rate.
And we were quite up front, that actually, it wouldn't be strictly uninterrupted...
Not our fault...
It's just that the E4 Hollyoaks Omnibus would insist in getting in the way
Hehe, they know me. Made absolutely no difference...
Bless 'em. They really are the best!
Cancer and homeless charities, amongst others, will benefit.
Cancer charities, in memory of my parents...
Who sadly both lost their lives to it.
And homelessness, I've just always felt so incredibly passionate about.
Three months until our annual sponsored 'sleep out on the streets' night...
Let's face it - every charity needs all the financial help it can get...
So if we can do our bit...
EDIT:
So people prob'ly aren't that overly bothered. And that's cool.
Didn't do it to please anyone else, at the end of the day.
But generally feeling a bit chuffed right now.
We. Did. It.
Quite literally. All 64 episodes straight...
And not even a break for The Oaks omnibus.
Now that was not easy!
Even though everyone knew we were gonna stop for it...
When it came to it, just didn't feel right.
Felt much happier just kinda doing it all straight through...
Now, when I say we watched every single episode of Fools & Horses back to back...
We actually did!
I'd estimate somewhere roughly between 30 and 40 hours...
Have to say though...
Prob'ly couldn't have done it without Pro Plus. They really are fantastic!
Essentially, just caffeine tablets...
But I've certainly never felt such a feeling from solely coffee before.
Found ourselves experiencing a really rather lovely little 'buzz'.
If I'd had chandeliers - we'd have been swinging from them!
