Well, I had heard how

popular

Only Fools and Horses was

in Serbia,

so I decided to go out

and try and find
out why this was.

Belgrade,

a Balkan nation,

a part of the world that I
didn't know an awful lot about.

I mean, the odd thing, but
it was all very scatter gun.

So,

I was fascinated

not only to find out
about the history

of this Balkan nation,

but also meet the people

and find out why

they were so in love with
Only Fools and Horses.

And I had a lot of adventures,

and I met an awful
lot of people,

and there are some very,
very surprising results,

but it was fascinating
for me on so many levels.

I mean, this history,

I've always been
fascinated by history,

to find out the
history of a place,

whether that had anything
to do with the fact

that there was this connection

with humor between us.

If humor can unite people.

Maybe there's the answer.

As an actor,

I found myself

being sort of known
for comedy shows

that I've done,

which was always a big
surprise to my mother,

who obviously didn't
think I was very funny.

She always said,

"I always thought you'd
make your name in drama,

not in comedy."

Okay, mum, sorry.

Anyway, I started
thinking about this,

about comedy, why,

and it's always- looking back

it's always been
part of my life.

You know, ever
since I was a child,

I was always trying
to make people laugh.

A sort of defensive mechanism
you could say, I suppose,

but I always found
comedy amusing,

you know? And I'd watch
the Marx Brothers,

I'd watch a French comedian
called Jacques Tati, you know,

and I was riveted
by all those things,

The Goon Show. Spike
Milligan and his Merry Men

and

I just found that was
the way I tended to go,

even though I was
playing a dramatic part,

like Jack the Ripper or
Dracula, or something like that,

I'd invest it with a
bit of humor, I think.

And then I play a lot
of pantomime villains,

these days,

I have done for the
last twenty years.

But they're always villains

with a sense of humor,

you know,

because I think it's such a
great way to reach people,

as is, borne out by the fact
that I can go to Belgrade,

I can talk to people there and

connect with them.

Just through that show,
through that humor.

Well, while I was in
Belgrade, the Ambassador,

the British Ambassador

called me and said,
"would you like to come to

this reception?", she'd
set up a reception

especially for me and my
visit, and she'd invited

a lot of British expats

and people doing
business out there.

And I had never been invited
to an Embassy before.

I don't know why,

probably not considered
quite the right quality.

But on this occasion,

there I was in Belgrade
at the British Embassy.

After you.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

[Ambassador] This is really-

[Boycie] Good heavens!

[Ambassador] Ah,
it's a great honor

-for us to have you here.
-Well, I mean,

I'm immensely flattered,
I don't know what to say.

So, what do I do, just sign it?

Just sign it.

Sign it.

My famous signature,

getting worse and worse
and more and more.

There, how does that look?

Fantastic, that's excellent.

All right.

All our guests sign
the guest list-

Well, today is a historic day

for the British Embassy in
Belgrade. It's always great

to have VIP visitors

and it's very special
to have VIP visitors

that are as much
fun as this one.

Hey, nice to meet
you too. How are you?

Likewise.

How are you, who are you?

Huge fans.

Of yours.

Huge fans?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Cheerio.

You're receiving
treatment, I hope.

Yeah, a little.

A little bit,

but not to worry.

They're from the local sitcom,

which, if you'd agree

was also influenced
by Fools and Horses.

Great agree or whatever you say.

Oh right, so you're-

We are screen writers
and comedians.

We like to say.

Your comedians.

Yeah. So, we'll have
a nice time tonight.

Well, thank you for
watching the show.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The most extraordinary
thing about it really was,

that it was a terribly
British occasion.

There in the middle
of the Balkans.

There we were having
tea and cakes,

just like in England,

but I suppose that's what you
do at the British Embassy.

But if I ever get invited
to a British Embassy again,

I shall- that'll be my template.

And I shall expect it to

match up to those standards.

Thank you.

There's the milk.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

So, how long have
you been here for?

I've been here four months.

Four months of being
a British Ambassador.

I've been here four
months, and yes-

There's a lot to do.

Come and meet our Boycie

and some guy had shuffled up,

like this-

And he was about 5'4,

but he had a mustache,

so therefore he was Boycie.

Oh, he's so-

It was really nice

to actually just give those
people a little sort of insight,

hopefully,

into my life and how
the series have gone.

The reach of Only
Fools and Horses,

so it has gone international,

particularly to this
part of the world.

And

as Del Boy would say,
we're big in the Balkans.

Take out of that what you will.

No, I made that up. He
didn't say that at all.

I'll just say,

well, it seemed to get
through to people, including

our Ambassador, who put on
the theme tune from Only Fools

and Horses and did a
little sofa dance for me.

You want to dance.

Sofa dancing-

sofa dancing, yeah.

But thank you really.
I hope you enjoy the

rest of your time
here in Belgrade.

Well thank you very much

for asking us here.

We're really very
honored ourselves,

so we're all honored.

Thank you very much.

And thanks all of you for
coming and being our guests.

Thank you.

Fantastic.

You'll see my wife is
wearing a Marlene skirt.

Yeah.

Whooh!

I have a feeling that everybody,

at least in Serbia, I don't
know about Great Britain,

but they know a
Boycie in their life.

Boycie's coming here,

it's one of my childhood
dreams coming true.

Right, come on Marlene, get
your coat, we're leaving.

And I wish you a very, very

-warm welcome to our academy.
-Very nice to meet you.

While I was there,

I was asked to go to
a Belgrade university

and talk to a lot
of English students.

And we were expecting,
I don't know,

I think about fifty
people odd like that.

And

over 200 turned up,
which was extraordinary.

Completely unexpected,

but there I am, an
Englishman talking

to English students
about English.

What shall we learn
from your lecture?

What from my lecture?

What shall we learn
from your lecture?

Practically nothing.

So I continued the character-

thank you very much, thank you.

Can you hear me at the back?

Can you hear me?

I don't need this-

[Man's Voice] Just for camera.

Oh, it's for you.

Is about people's
lives, as you say.

It's about

difficult subjects.

I mean, John Sullivan,
the writer, writes

about difficult
things that happen

in everybody's life, really

and he approaches them,

but he just makes you smile

at the end of it

and makes you think, "oh,
maybe it's not too bad".

I suddenly thought to myself,

perhaps it'd be fun

to teach them a bit

of English that not a lot
of English understand,

not a lot of English
people understand.

And this is the
Cockney rhyming slang.

If you think you know English,

if you think you know
English properly,

just think about this.

If somebody came up to you

and said

I was sitting with
the trouble, right?

I was sitting with the trouble

and we were watching
the strawberry.

All right.

I'd be, so that's boring,

so we'll get in the jam jar

and we'll go off for a Ruby.

So we're at the Ruby and it
wasn't up to much, you know?

So I offered him a godiva

and the man holding
the restaurant,

running the
restaurant and he said

you're having a bubble bath.

I was gonna charge you a pony.

You wouldn't understand a
word I was saying, would you

even though you knew English.

So the age range was very
impressive, I thought,

they were from about
16 years old up and to

slightly older, possibly
as old as me, who knows.

Yes, yes.

What's your name.

Vesna.

V E S N A.

B?

V V

V

V

[Boycie] V

[Vesna] E S

Hello. Who is this
for may I ask?

Hello.

For my father.

He will die from happiness.

I don't want your father
to die. [woman laughs]

He will be okay.

What's his name.

A

A

C

Thank you very so much.

Pleasure.

So nice that

Boycie came and that he was
so willing to be part of

people that came to see him,
to be so close, friendly

and approachable.

He's a tremendous similarity

in the subject that he depicts,

the way of life,
it's all so close

and yet it's presented in
a novel way through fun.

Through mishap and how to,
in the end, turned right.

It

fits with Serbian spirit.

We fight, we work hard,

but we also have great
fun and enjoy life.

Well, I'm a great football fan

here in England. For my sins

I suffer supporting the Arsenal.

I have done ever since
I was five years old.

No idea why. I've never lived
in North London in my life.

Anyway, the Arsenal are my team
and the equivalent in Serbia

of course are Red Star who
play in the same colors.

Maybe there's a
connection there.

So,

I was delighted
to be invited to,

to go to Red Star.

It's one of those names
that always had a little

frisson for me.

You know, obviously

used to European football

and all our teams playing
in Europe as well,

but Red Star Belgrade just
had a ring to, you know.

It's somewhere I had
always wanted to go.

Yugoslavian Championship.

The current Serbian
Championship.

[Boycie] Oh it's is the-

that's the trophy, yeah?

[Man's Voice] Yes it's
old, 73 years old.

[Boycie] I was gonna say
that's not the new one, is it?

That's wonderful.

Yeah.

They played some team before.

Some team before, yeah.

That's fantastic.

Yeah, Maradona played.

Did he play here?

Maradona, yeah?

Pele, Garrincha, Beckenbauer,
Bertie Fox, Bobby Charlton.

Bobby Charlton yes.

That Maradona.

Douglas, Keegan.

Maradona, whose name
is not good in England.

I know.

The hand of-

Yes, I know.

Shame cause he's a
wonderful player,

but he's just so-

It's unsport move.

Yes. That's not good.

It's not popular.

[Boycie] No, no, no, it's not.

Remember the great games,

in the Europe friendly-

Ah yes.

Mostly for the Europe like this.

I skipped this one because
you dislike Manchester.

No, I mean, no, I'd
say it's a big rivalry.

There's always a big,
more of a rivalry.

than there is with Tottenham,

Tottenham, our neighbors.

But I always liked Tottenham.

I just,

I've always liked
the way they played,

but Manchester United, I just-

There's a phrase in England:

anybody but Manchester United.

Who is this? Is this
a Serbian Boycie?

It's look like, yes, yes.

Come along Marlene.

Come along.

Come along Marlene.
Get your coat.

We're leaving.

So was he a player, did he play?

Yes, he played.

He's a good sportsman.

He was good.

Well that's the main thing.

And has a good mustache.

That's the main
thing, yeah, yeah.

What's his name?

Milan. Milan.

Milan.

Yes.

And how long ago was that?

[Man's Voice] Oh, it's
around fifty years ago, yeah.

Fifty years ago, oh.

Oh yes, 47 to

72.

This is other,

but yes, it's during
the seventies.

Yeah.

More than seventies,
in the beginning.

Oh, I can see he's a confident
man, he has lots of money.

He knows what to do, you know?

He maybe has good cars.

Nice cars. He sells cars.

Yes.

You can recommend him good car.

Oh fantastic.

Present, a jersey,

can you just-

Oh yeah, a shirt, no, really?

Show it, yeah,

because it's special.

It's this one here.

It's just for you, yeah.

I can-

You hold the bag.

Yeah.

Ohh.

So I have to play
center forward.

I have to score all the goals.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Can you just show the name.

Yeah.

That's the name in
Serbian, Boycie.

Boycie? Is that it?

Yeah, you like number nine?

I do, yes I-

when I did play

at one point I played the
number nine at school.

Number?

Number nine, yes.

Center forward, we called it.

Center forward

and I was supposed to
score all the goals.

And you scored?

Yes, I scored a lot of goals.

Ah, okay.

So. Oh, that's fantastic.

Thank you so much.

That's for you.

So when do I start playing?

16 February.

I'll be here.

I'll be here, right,
yeah, I'll see you.

Spell it? karii.

karii?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay. Right.

So I'll start training
when I get back to England.

Yeah. Okay.

But you must train hard.

Yes. I think I must. Yes.

Well, when I found out

that Serbia had a Royal Family

and they had a palace,

I thought that sounds
like my sort of area.

Very much Boycie's area,
that sort of thing.

I thought, well, I'd
better go and have a look,

check this out

and see what's happening.

Hi.

[Gavrilo] Good
morning Mr. Challis.

Welcome to the Royal Palace.

Thank you very much.

My name is Gavrilo.

I shall be a guide
today through-

Oh good. Good. Well,
thank you for having me.

Not at all, not at all.

This is the home of the
Royal Family of Serbia,

built by King
Alexander the first,

the grandfather

to his Royal Highness,
crown Prince Alexander,

who today is the head
of our Royal Family.

Okay.

The building was
finished in 1929.

That's when the Royal
Family moved in here

and lived here
until the breakout

of the Second World
War in our country,

which happened in
the Spring of 1941.

Ahh.

[Gavrilo] The King's main wish

was for his home to reflect
Serbian medieval tradition.

The library.

It's Italian Renaissance art.

Oh yeah.

The ceiling, the furniture,

the book cases.

Right so,

a whole team of architects,
designers deciding-

The chief architect
was a Serbian one,

Mr. Zivojin Nikolic.

However, he was
assisted very much

by some very prominent and
very good Russian architects.

But I will tell you
more about the Russians

when we go to the basement.

So there's something
good about Russians.

They- at that moment in-

Of course, I'm sorry,
I'm being frivolous.

There were two
kinds of Russians.

Yeah.

The so-called white Russians,

who were very much supported
by King Alexander the first.

He was a great patron of the
so-called white Russians,

and of course the
communist Russians.

Now this is the blue salon

with examples of yet
another artistic influence.

That would be the French
Baroque art, of course.

The furniture was modeled
on Louis the fifteenth

and Louis the sixteenth styles.

Over there, the King's office.

So, another first for me,

I got invited to
the King's room,

I've never been in
the King's room.

I've been to the King's Head,

but has nothing to
do with it, is it?

[Gavrilo] This is his majesty
King Alexander, the first

[Boycie] And is that his chair?

[Gavrilo] Exactly. And his desk.

[Boycie] And his desk-

[Gavrilo] Both
original from 1929,

when the palace was finished.

This is where he would sit
and sort everything out

and make sure everything
was working properly.

Yes, yes, yes.

The most important decisions
for the fate of the Kingdom

of Yugoslavia were brought
right here in this room.

Wow.

That is- that's an
amazing thought, isn't it?

Is the monarchy here, like
the monarchy in England,

do you think? Is there
a similarity between

the roles of the monarchy?

Not really.

No, it's very different?

Very, very different,
I would say.

First of all, we're still
very much a Republic

or at least on paper

and our current government has,

shall we say, rather
ambivalent relationship

towards the Royal Family.

On the one hand, they
kind of accepted that

the Royal Family is important in

humanitarian work and in
representing Serbia to

our foreign guests and

even some important investors.

But on the other hand,

this is still all the
confiscated property.

The government has
not returned yet,

any of the Royal
Family's property.

Oh, is that right?

Oh, I didn't know that, I see.

And the notorious decree
that was issued in 1947,

which prohibited
the Royal Family

from returning to the country

and strip them of their
citizenship and confiscated

the entire property,

is still, in one part, in force,

and that is the
issue of property.

The citizenship was restored

and the Royal Family
of course was let

to return to the country

and they were even

given their own home to use,

but officially and

legally,

none of the property
has been returned yet.

Oh, how interesting.

Yes, cause, well, you know,

in England there's,
there's discussion about it

and. of course, we had
that so-called revolution

in 1600 and Oliver
Cromwell took over

and abolished the monarchy,

but then,

some years later back
came the monarchy

and we've had it ever since,

because it's a-

I don't know something
that we need,

I suppose.

The relationship between
Serbian and British monarchy.

This is an interesting
photograph,

2012,

the Diamond Jubilee.

A rare occasion when almost

all monarchs

from all over the
world, not just Europe,

but also the middle
East and Asia

and even Africa gathered
in Windsor Castle

to celebrate the
Queen's Jubilee.

Here's our crown
Prince in the back row.

And Her majesty

is actually the godmother
to our crown Prince.

Is that right?

That's right.

She's the one who
held him in her arms

at his baptism and his
christening ceremony.

Now the dining room
is a very good example

of the eclectic impression
that the Royal Palace leaves.

This is a blend of Italian
Renaissance, French Baroque,

Neoclassical style.

View of the patio

and the Royal chapel.

Dedicated to Saint
Andrew, the First-Called.

Now,

to the basement.

To the basement.

Many people have been to the
basement and never returned.

Ha, ha.

I was terrified.

I mean,

go down to a crypt in a
Royal Palace in Serbia.

And he was never seen again.

But luckily I found myself
next to a pool table.

I thought, oh, it's
just like the Nags Head.

Ah.

Oh.

Was I right, or was I right.

You were certainly right.

Of course.

Now we come to the Russians.

Yes.

The man behind this was
Mr. Nikolay Krassnoff,

a Russian architect
who emigrated to

Belgrade after the end of
the Civil War in Russia,

just like many other
Russian intellectuals,

and who was hired,

or was commissioned by
King Alexander the first

to help finish the Royal Palace.

Mr. Krassnoff

and his team of course
were extremely nostalgic

after they lost fatherland,
the Imperial Russia,

so, they decided to apply
many elements copied

from the Russian Imperial
Palace in Kremlin, Moscow,

but in a very unique and
extremely skillful way.

They combined those elements
with, with the elements

from some Oriental arts,
like the Persian art.

Yes.

Turkish art

or even the art of
the Crimean Tatars.

The Room of Whispers.

Now the Room of Whispers comes
from this marble fountain,

which allegedly served
a special purpose.

The sound of the water

flowing down the fountain,

would muffle the sound of
any of the conversations

that the King would
have on this sofa.

So that anybody
who would pass by,

couldn't hear anything
except faint whispers.

Now, this room used to be
the King's wine cellar.

Today of course, it's changed
its purpose completely.

However, at the time of
King Alexander, the first,

this is where some of the
King's wines used to be kept.

And the paintings
are illustrations

of one the most beautiful
Serbian medieval folk poems.

There was a great submission of

oral poetry in medieval Serbia.

And of course, throughout
the poem, he has a champion,

a young man who is his

actually nephew,

who protects the
Emperor all the time,

symbolizing the people's
love for Emperor Dusan,

who was very popular.

He was our most
successful medieval ruler.

Of course the King's
private cinema,

which must have been
one of the first

private cinemas in this part
of the world at that time.

We're talking about the
era when there were still

silent movies being shown,

because of that this niche
was designed for the piano

and the piano player,

who would accompany the
projections of the silent films.

No need for the piano or
the piano player today,

of course, they Royal
Family uses a DVD projector.

But comes down here quite
often to watch films just

like they used to do when
King Alexander lived here.

Just the most fantastic cinema
I've ever seen, I think.

Very, very nice room.

Superb.

The so-called smoking salon.

Our King used to be

a chain smoker. He
was a person who would

literally light one
cigarette on another,

although

he never allowed
smoking anywhere inside
the Royal Palace,

except in this room.

Oh right.

And after the Second World War,

the communists also discovered
the purpose of the room

and used it to the same purpose.

And then yet, again,

they were very much
irritated by the symbols

of our monarchy.

So at one point they ordered
all the Royal coats of arms,

all the Royal initials,
all the crowns

to be either removed
or painted over

and here in the smoking salon,

they ordered them to be
painted over with five pointed

communist red stars.

That's one over here

and the one over there.

Oh yes.

Well, well, well.

Now the King deliberately
chose the very peak

of Dedinje Hill,

because of this unbelievable,
spectacular view.

So North of here, North
of here is Hungary?

That's right in this direction.

That way.

That's right.

And that way,

what do we see over there?

We see a lot of, we
see a lot of trees.

We see nothing.

Behind New Belgrade,

if you imagine a
hypothetical line,

you would go all
the way to Croatia,

all the way to Zagreb.

The next country over there-

That would be

Romania,

some 500 kilometers
away in that direction.

That's how our medieval
monasteries looked like.

Yes.

This is almost

as a copy of our
medieval monastery.

It has been a great pleasure
for all the employees

of the Royal Palace fund
and her Royal Highness

crown Princess
Katherine's foundation

to have Mr. Challis
visiting the Royal Palace.

We were all thrilled to have him

take a tour of the Royal Palace

and to tell him
more about the life

of our Royal Family and the
humanitarian activities of,

especially of her
Royal Highness, crown
Princess Katherine.

Even the younger generations

who were not even born

when Only Fools and Horses
was originally broadcast

in Serbia, are
very much familiar.

The show was immensely popular
in Serbia and in Belgrade.

It almost had the kind
of a cult followers

and we were all delighted
to have one of the

members of the crew visiting
Belgrade and the Royal Palace.

All my friends would be
really angry with me,

if I did not take a photograph
with him and told him-

and told them that I had
the pleasure of guiding

Mr. Challis through the
Royal Palace, so it meant

a lot to me.

He's very, very relatable

and all the characters
in Only Fools and Horses,

including of course the
character of Boycie,

played so, so brilliantly
by Mr. Challis

are very much relatable
to our mentality,

which is the reason
why the show was so,

so very much popular in,
at least in Belgrade.

Well now, as you know, a
Boycie loves his brandy.

A large cognac, please,
Michael, he was said to say

in the Nags Head on
a regular occasion.

But over here in Serbia,

of course the brandy
is entirely different

and it's made out of
something entirely different,

it's made out of plums,

which I never knew about.

And the famous plum brandy
in Serbia is called rakija.

So, somebody said, why
don't you come and see

how it's made and
what happens to it.

I thought, well, that is
an offer I can't refuse.

So here I am and is all
a bit eerie to be honest

and suddenly the door opens
and two rather large men

come down. One with a
mustache looking like

something out of the
Godfather, who immediately

kisses me three
times on the cheeks.

And then I realized
I had to kiss him

back three times on the
cheeks and then kiss

the other man, who turned out
to be his son, three times.

I'd been kissed more times than

I'd ever been kissed in my life.

Boycie! Welcome to Serbia.

Hello, hello. Three time.

One, two, three.

Welcome.

And for you too, oh.

Welcome.

Thank you so much.

It's nice to be here.
Thank you for asking me.

Great pleasure and great
honor to have you here.

An honor?

Well, it's an honor
for me to be here too.

And I'm glad to see someone
else has a mustache.

Yeah.

Serbian and the like
English are similar.

Yes.

Boycie, this is our
production in Belgrade.

I'm going to show you a
little bit of how we produce

rakija and talk a little
bit about tradition

and so you know too- I
know you are brandy fan.

Wow. That's amazing.

Thirty-five years ago in Serbia,

everybody was making
brandy and you know,

every brandy producer says,
"oh, mine is the best,

mine is the best".

Somebody just needs to bottle it

and we're gonna
earn lots of money

and everybody was talking this,

but my father was the one of
the few who actually did it,

but didn't do just the talking,

but he did do the bottling
part and started offering

a little by little to the

restaurants, to like
the premium stores,

and it became interesting.

At the beginning,

when you bring the
rakija to the restaurant

or to the store

and it costs like a
good cognac or whiskey.

And two thirds said,
"what are you doing?

I mean, you cannot sell
me rakija for the price".

Well, one third of the
people were saying,

"okay, finally somebody did it".

And that was you.

So we have you to thank.

Well, now after
thirty-five years,

nobody's asking this question,

should rakija be the, considered

the very same quality.

Fortunately, now it's
very trendy in Serbia

in best restaurants,

in best wine stores or

gift stores.

The rakija is a-

So did you, did you
know the process

instinctively or was
it an experiment?

Yeah, I learned, but I made
agreement with the professor

of the university
in the Belgrade.

He was a, like a technolog,
according the law.

He was- responsibility
for the quality

and why my wishing had

I said, for me it's only
interesting to be top.

Maximum top.

Different between
all the others.

And you're starting
small quantity, but

slowly, slowly, slowly, but

people recognize- oh,
that's something different.

Quality, yes, yes I see.

So this is kosher,
kosher brandy.

Yeah, this is a tank where
we keep kosher brandy

for our customer
in a UK actually.

So, so why is it kosher?

Well, it is, there is
special requirement that is

for the kosher certificate.

And the main thing
is about production.

The brandy cannot
be in contact with

tanks that have wine
or wine products in it.

And you need to use special
yeast for the fermentation,

that is also kosher.

Ah, I see.

That's why it is,

it is quite a strong,
strong requirement, but-

Oh, I didn't-

I always thought it just-

the word just applied
to meats and so on-

No, no, no, actually the

Jews are very big consumers of

plum brandy.

Yeah.

Plum brandy, but not grape.

No, no, grape brandy.

No, for grape brandy

you need to be produced
by the observant Jew.

It cannot be
produced by the Serb

or maybe English was not Jew.

Well, there's something
else I never knew.

Among many things.

So Boycie, you wanna go
inside to try some rakija?

Well, I've always been
interested in a large cognac,

you see, but I'm not
trying drink cognac,

I'm gonna try
brandy your instead,

is that okay?

You see, it's as good as cognac.

I hope so, yeah,
I'm sure it will be.

I don't have to drink
a bottle of each

do I?

Well, in the evening, yes.

In the morning
just a little bit.

I don't think I can do
that just today, anyway.

So what shall I choose?

Well, I suggest we
start with apricot.

This is Stara Sokolova kajsija.

You better pour it for me.

Kajsija is the Serbian
name for apricot.

So it is a hundred
percent fruit distilled,

aged for three years
in oak barrels.

Wow, yes. It smells very good.

Apricot. Is this your favorite?

Is this your favorite one?

What do you do? What's
the best way to do it?

Stir it a little
bit and then you

stick your nose inside.

Can you get your nose
inside the glass? Yes.

And then you sip.

And then you swallow.

Then you move it in your mouth.

Oh, I forgot to do that.

And in the end,

so you feel the all the aroma

and then you sip.

That is fantastic.

And this is a twelve
years old plum brandy.

Twelve years old.

This is very limited quantity.

Around 3000 bottles per year

and one that we
bottle once a year

and then usually for three,
four months, we are out of it.

We wait for the next-

The next crop of plums, yeah.

The next barrel to be open.

Okay.

Twelve years old.

Plum brandy, twelve years old.

Very much like Boycie cognac.

You just sniff it,
I mean, you know,

it's a very good
smell, isn't it?

This is an evening drink.

Oh yes, it's very
nice, isn't it?

So this here, this was,

Quince was three years old.

And Stara Sokolova twelve,
was twelve years old.

Yes, that's wonderful,
I have to say.

Which one is your favorite?

I think I've changed from
the Quince to this one.

Yeah. I dunno why,

it's just got-

So much complexity and-

Yes, yes.

It's so complex, I
don't understand it.

The more it ages,

it gets more mellow and-.

Yes, I think, that's right.

That's a good word.

I think it's more
mellow than the others.

For me, that's-

I'm just wondering about this
abandoned car, I can see.

Cause you know, I'm
a bit famous for

reselling secondhand cars,

so I'm quite interested to see

how this car actually
appears there.

It's a long story.

Part of this property is
owned by the state company

that's in the bankruptcy.

So this is the part of the-

Oh, it's a part of bankruptcy.

Mess, so you cannot
touch it until-

I love

the tree growing out
of the side of the car.

It hasn't been
moved for ten years.

Fantastic. Yeah.

Well young man,

I mean, that's a very
interesting little motor,

I think I can do a little
something with this.

So, for a consideration,

I'll take this off your hands

for a bottle of your lovely
brandy. How do you feel?

Ah, that would be a
good service to me.

Good man. Very good.
You know it makes sense.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well of course one of the
perks of my trade is that

you get to walk the streets
with an attractive blonde woman,

talking about your
life under an umbrella.

I have to say with this
particular example,

it took us about an hour
to get the streets cleared,

so we could actually
walk up and down,

because there was just
people all over the place.

Tell me,

were you surprised when Serbian
people recognized you here?

I was, yes. When
I first came, I-

particularly in the street,
I'm used to it in England,

but here I was very
surprised, yes.

A lot of people will have a look

and then look away
and shake their heads

and look back again and then

come up and apologize for not
recognizing me straight away,

you know and I think it's
okay. It's not compulsory.

So I was very surprised, yes.

Okay.

When I told my friend yesterday.

I do interview with you,

he said me, "oh my
God, that's amazing.

I think that he's the most
interesting guy in the UK".

So I should be prime minister.

Maybe.

Are you like that,
even the cameras off?

So with the cameras off?

Yeah.

Well, I suppose so.

I am one of those people who

all my life, I've tried to
find the comedy in life.

I always found life quite funny,

the things that happen
to people and so on.

So,

I tend to sort of
try and make life,

people's lives a bit happier.

Cause I believe in it, cause

basically-

I just think life works
better like that, you know,

with laughter and so on.

And there's so much
to laugh at in life.

You know, if you could just
see the funny side of it,

I think you can get through it.

The whole week was really
flooded with interviews

from all sorts of directions
and all sorts of attitudes,

including one
gentleman who came up

and said to me "what
are you doing here?"

As if I crept up under
the customs or something,

got into the country illegally.
It was a bit of a shock,

but, but no,

I'm sure he meant well anyway,

but I spent a lot of
time trying to understand

why it has such
a connection with

people, this particular show.

And in the end, I
found myself explaining

or trying to explain it as
I have to do in England,

so there's even more
of a connection that

still nobody can quite
put a finger on it.

I mean, it's a combination
of so many things,

but it was very gratifying to
find that there was that depth

of interests from all
sorts of angles for me.

Welcome John.

Thank you, father.

Welcome to Belgrade.

Welcome to the temple
of the Saint Sava.

The temple of Saint Sava,

I've always wanted
to be here, but

I'd like to know more about it.

Yes, you want to come
with me inside to see?

-I'd love to. Is that okay?
-Yes.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Inside,

the biggest temple of

in this part of the Europe.

That is amazing,

and more scaffolding than I
have ever seen in my life.

Really?

Just amazing.

Do you want to go upside,

up to see.

Oh God no. Sorry,

God it's too high for me, yes.

I am-

Okay.

You know, people
jump out of airplanes

and all sorts of things,
but not me I'm afraid.

So heights is not good
for me, I'm sorry.

Okay John, no problem.

Next time.

When did all this start?

When did the re-

Is it rebuilding

or is it completely new?

It is very good question.

Yes.

We start to build this temple

at 1935,

before the Second World War.

And when the Second
World War start,

we stopped with the building

until 1985. When we start again,

building the-

Fifty years, fifty years-

We had a problem.

We have a communist
here in Yugoslavia.

He didn't let us to start
again with the building

until 1985.

Before the Second World
War, we built about nine

to twelve meters of the
walls of the temple.

After the Second
World War, I told you,

we didn't build it,
in 1985 we start again

and we build until 1991,

when we stopped again
with the building,

because the wars in former
Yugoslavian republics.

And we start again in 2000
and we're still building.

We hope that we will
finish this or next year.

Ah, I see, but when the,
when the Russians were here,

surely there is a
Russian Orthodox church,

and you are a Serbian
Orthodox church.

So why would they stop
you building your church?

Because the communists,

don't believe in God.

They don't believe in the
powerful power of God.

They thought that the
Serbian church was the enemy

of the country at that time

and that's why they didn't
let us to start again.

But the God is powerful,

the God is big and
they can't win the God.

No, that's right. No,
no, no, that's right.

Only, they can only fifty years-

So you have started
to build three times.

Yes, three times.

And this is the third time?

And we hope the last one.

And this time you'll finish?

Yes, yes, yes.

In this temple we think that,

I told you we will
finished this year

or maybe next year.

But we hope that we will
be finished this year.

Who will pay for all this?

This, that is all-

I have a little money.

I have a euro, maybe two euros.

No, no.

Oh and

we don't in

Orthodox church we don't look
at how much money give people

for the building of the temple,

because sometimes the one euro

from the someone who don't have
the money is a bigger than a

maybe one million euro from
someone who have a lot of money.

And that's why this
temple is building,

all Serbian people,
not only one person,

all Serbian people is
building this temple.

Ah, I see, right.

And this, this is the
temple to Saint Sava.

Yes, yes.

Who was Saint Sava?

Saint Sava was the biggest-

he's the biggest Saint in
Serbian Orthodox church.

He lived at the end
of second- until the

1235 in the third century.

He was a Royal Prince,

however, but he didn't
want to be a King.

He only want to be a monk.

He-

Life give to the church and
for the Orthodox church.

Yes.

After the 14th century
with the Turkish

army came on this ground,
on Serbian ground,

we were under the Turkey
army about five centuries.

Five.

Yes, yes.

Only what was in the
mind of the Serbian man

was the name of the
Saint Sava. Saint Sava

was the guy who lead
all the Serbian people.

And that's why when
the Turkish army

saw that, they took the dead
body from the monastery militia

and bring the body of Saint
Sava here on this ground.

And they bring the Serbian
people and they burned the body.

They burned the body to see,
to show the Serbian people

how Turkish army is big,
how Turkish army is strong,

but they did the wrong.

They maybe burn the body,

but they didn't burn the
spirit of the Saint Sava.

The spirit of Saint
Sava was in the mind

and heart of the Serbian people,

of the Serbian soldiers
was more bigger.

And that's why on this place,

where they burn the
body of the Saint Sava,

we are building the
biggest Orthodox temple

who is named the Saint Sava
for all Serbian people.

That's wonderful. What a story.

I mean, but how
Serbia has suffered

under other regimes,
you know, for so long.

Yes, yes.

But as you say the
spirit survives,

and that's wonderful.

These are the mosaics.

This year, we hope
that we will finish

the mosaics in the
temple. For two years,

we finished the dome.

The dome will be the mosaics.

The mosaics are a gift
from the Russian people,

Russian president Putin and
the Russian Orthodox church

to Serbian Orthodox church

and to Serbian people and
the company of the gospel.

They finished the dome
before about two years

and we are still finishing
the mosaics in the

all walls of the temple.

We, when you came to
the center of the temple

and when you turn around
yourself, everything you'll see

with your eyes will
be all mosaics.

Everything, everything,
yes, everything

That's an extraordinary thought.

And so- it's just put
directly onto the stone

or onto boards covering
the stone or all mosaic is-

All 300

Russian artists in Moscow

and they are making
that mosaics.

And they're bringing that
mosaics here in Belgrade.

About 90 people is now
working in the temple

and they're putting that
mosaics on the walls.

Ah right.

Before a few days came 1,200
more meters, more of mosaics

for North and East galleries
and some ornamentics

for the temple.

And I tell you, we
hope that with mosaics

we will finish this year,
until the end of this year.

This time, next year, we
will be ready- finished.

That's wonderful.

That is remarkable, I
mean, looking at that,

it's just extraordinary.

So is this a,

is this a record
for scaffolding?

I've never seen
scaffolding at this height.

Yes. Over here, about 65
meters until the dome.

The all temple is about
eighty to ninety meters.

And in the temple can
stay about 10,000 people.

And that is the lifts
that'll, that would take-

It is the lift for
the workers now,

who are working upside
at the dome, yes.

When you're up, when
you get up to the dome,

you can go out and see,

go around at the dome
and you have a lookout

and you can see
the old Belgrade.

I feel nervous already.

I can feel it in
the back of my legs.

I can't do this.

We will have a lift
for the tourist

and the tourist when
came to see the temple,

they can go up with the lift.

I think it's a remarkable
story of survival and spirit,

as you say,

that this is happening.
It's wonderful.

Yes.

But this is not the all,

we have a understair
church or crypt

and it is-

And you have a smaller
church outside.

Yes. Outside, yes, outside,

but downstair, we
have a something.

Something special?

Yes. You will see that.

-I will?
-You want to come with me?

I would love to,
thank you very much.

Okay.

As long as we don't
have to go up there.

No, no, we go down.

Wow.

Well this is

magical, magical.

You have finished this?

Yes, we finished this.

We start to build
this church in 2004

and we finished that
before three years.

Father of Saint Sava, his
brothers and other Serbian.

It's the Saints in Serbia
history of the Orthodox church.

Saint Lazarus lead Serbian
troops against the Turkish army,

when the Turkish
army came on Kosovo,

Kosovo is the South
part of the Serbian,

but the Turkish army came.

They wanted to take
the Serbian land

and steal or going
upstairs in the Europe.

And they was threatened for
the all the Christianity,

people in the Europe
and Saint Lazarus

was the first war against
that Turkish army.

We didn't,

our army was much smaller
than Turkish army,

but our hearts

and our strength was much bigger

than the Turkish army.

We stopped them on the Kosovo.

They catch Saint Lazarus and

they cut his head.

You could see this,
this picture here.

How is Saint Lazarus
giving his head,

giving his life for
the Serbian country.

These are the Turks here
about to execute him?

Yes, yes.

The angel take his head, that
is why he is a Saint in our-

Everybody over the centuries
seems to want Serbian land.

Yes.

Everybody wants-

I don't know why.

Backwards, forwards, you know.

That's extraordinary.

With this picture
you can see how-

Oh yes.

The body of saint Lazarus.

So I told you upstairs,

they win this war,
they win this battle.

They came in Serbia and we
were under Turkish army about

500 years. A lot.

But in that 500 years, we
didn't forget who we are

and what we are able to do.

When we have

Saint Sava in our heart.

When we have a church
and a faith in God

and in our hearts.

This is a gift for
you. A part of mosaic.

For me?

Next time, when you
came in the temple,

the temple will be finished

and you will say,

"wow, look at the mosaics,
I have a part in my house".

Ah, but there's a bit missing.

There's a bit missing
in the temple.

This is gold, right?

Yes, this is glass with
the gold paper inside.

I'll just test
this for gold, hey.

Yes, gold, thank you very much.

I will come back and put it
in the space that is missing.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Well, when I was asked
to visit a motor museum,

I thought, bonnet de douche,

this is my area.

So in I went to meet the
man whose museum it was.

Welcome, welcome Boycie.

Thank you.

Bratislav.

My motors museum.

Ah well, thank you
very much. This is it.

This is all there is.

No, no.

Oh, there's more.

Oh, you have more cars.

Let me see. Let me see.

Yes, of course.

Where did this come from?

From United States.

It is capital of
Indiana in America.

Oh yeah.

It's a town, Albany.

So how much is it worth?

Millions?

It is maybe half a million.

Maybe this time.

And you have a parking meter.

My euro, I must find a
euro. I must find a euro-

And put my money in here.

There.

Drive me mad.

This is very old,
this very old like me.

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe not as old as me.

Yes, this is from 1902.

Is that one of the first?

One of the first Fords.

Yeah, the very first Ford.

This is, of course-

This is not the
original numberplate.

Well, I don't think I could
see it on my forecourt,

you know,

perhaps a Laura Ashley interior

and clean out the ashtray,
I might be able to-

You never know, do you.

That's fantastic.
What a collection.

This is a Charron-

Our King Peter the
first, from 1908.

1908? Wow.

That was driven by
our first chauffeur,

first Serbian who-

Do they work? Would they run?

If you took them
out on the street?

You couldn't park, of course.

But would they run?

They could still run, yeah?

Fantastic.

Well, certainly amongst this
wonderful selection of cars,

we saw some fantastic vehicles.

Not vehicles I would have
on my forecourt in Peckham,

of course.

However, there was some
fantastic stuff there,

including a collection
of president Tito's cars

and that was very evident from

particularly his Mercedes,
how he protected himself.

It's a Mercedes,
look at that, yeah.

You know, four tons.

Look at the-

Oh yeah!

The glass was three centimeters.

So this was protective glass?

Yes.

Yes. Who was in this car?

Tito.

This was Tito's car?

Yes.

So he was worried that somebody
was going to do him harm,

yeah. So he would
draw the curtains.

Yes, draw the curtains and
that the division glass also.

Yeah. So this is
bulletproof and-

Bulletproof yes.

Everything would bounce off.

Yes. Yes.

So did he use this
right till the end?

Yes.

Yeah? Wow.

That is fantastic, isn't it.

And his driver-

also glass, yes, of
course it would, yeah.

Gosh.

So Mercedes is for his
wife, Jovanka Broz.

I bought it from the
military scrapyard.

Yes.

And repaired it-

Yeah, yeah.

So did she have
thickened glass too?

No.

No.

I protect myself,
but my wife is okay.

I don't believe it.

After all I've done, all
the places I've been,

I cannot get away from
this yellow, Reliant Regal.

How does this
happen all the time?

Ahh.

Ohh.

No, no.

In Serbia.

It's a very popular-

Yes, so does it travel around?

Go to different places.

Yes, yes, yes.

But the Only Fools
and Horses is the

number one in Serbia.

Yes. It's very
popular, isn't it?

It's very surprising to me.

Maybe New York, Paris,
Peckham and Belgrade.

And Belgrade.

I think you should put Belgrade
on there, that would be-

that would be very good, yeah.

Yes.

[Boycie] But it looks in
a lot better condition

than the ones we
used in the show.

[Man's Voice] Yes, yes.

They made me drive it
once, not in the show,

but I drove round the car
park where we were filming.

And it was the
most uncomfortable-

My knees were up
here by my ears.

And the thing that does that,

because of the one wheel, yes.

Smaller taxes for three-wheeler,

for four-wheel it's higher tax.

Yes.

And is not good for people who

are trying to avoid
being run over.

Cause they forget there's
a wheel in the middle.

Yeah. No that's-

So where did you find this?

It came from England.

Oh, you bought it-

For 200 pounds.

200 pounds.

And drove it from
London to Belgrade.

And now an unexpected pleasure.

A local artist has come up with
a fantastic view of London.

A real kaleidoscope of images.

And guess what is at the top.

A yellow Reliant Regal.

You see what I mean?

Everywhere I go, even
in a piece of art,

there it is,

haunting me to this day.

Suddenly the two actors that
I'd met at the British Embassy,

they turned up with a script.

Would I be part of their
very successful show?

Mais oui, mais oui,
mangetout, mangetout.

[Director] Action!

Have you decided to buy sir?

Yes, sir.

Thank you very, very much.

Is it good?

Well,

they certainly don't make
them like this anymore.

[Director] Stop!
Perfect, thank you.

It's a great pleasure for me.

It's a great pleasure.

I couldn't express-

When I- maybe tomorrow,

because my generation
and my friends

that was the some kind of

festivity, when we look and we

discuss all the week until the

new Only Fools and Horses
come on our television.

It's a part of our life.

British people

and the British nation
is the great nation that

they can laugh on themselves.

It is,

the character of a big nation.

And then they're-

also they have a master actors.

While I was in Belgrade,

I was very lucky
to be staying at a

hotel right in the
center of Belgrade.

And there, I learnt about the
most successful businessman

in Serbia, possibly
the world, who knows.

Philip Zepter.

And it was his hotel.

He's got a whole chain of hotels

and he just started off
by selling pots and pans.

I mean this

could be Boycie and
his cars, I mean,

it could be the start
of that, I suppose.

Boycie start of it
all, but just starting

off by pots and pans and

finishing up the most successful
businessman in the countr-

This is sort of Boycie
country, isn't it?

So, I think Boycie's
probably got aspirations

to be as successful as him.

Very lucky to have lunch
with the manager of

the hotels there and he
was telling me all about

all his inventions.

The stories, maybe
Boycie is very good

example for us,

because everyone was
thinking that the founder

and the owner of
the company was not

normal when he thought that
he's going to make millions

and billions only by the pots,

so we started with
the producing of pots

thirty-five years ago.

Pots and pans for cooking?

For cooking,

and we started with that
thirty-five years ago.

Mr. Zepter was the first
one who made the fastest

first billion.

He made the first
billion in three years.

The first?

Turnover, yeah. The turnover.

And Philip went off to sell
his pots and pans in Poland,

first. Was like the
first place he went.

And everybody said you're crazy.

He said, "okay I will
make maybe ten million

turnover for the first year".

They said "oh, no,
that's impossible,

you want to be happy with one
million, if you make this-".

He said, "okay, I will try".

And in one year he made the
turnover of $100 million.

Wow.

Eventually I was shown up to
this rather nice apartment,

right at the top of the
building there, Belgrade.

Wonderful views out there.

Far too big for me though,
I mean we could get the

whole family there. I think
you can get about twenty-seven

people there staying
the night, but

an interesting thought.

This is our presidential suite,

one of the biggest in
this part of the Europe.

350 square meters.

So you can see,

this is the kitchen.

It is fully equipt so you
can use everything, coffee.

This is what I told you,

it's a water purifying system.

Oh yes, yes.

You can try our water

or we can say, cheers.

Cheers to you.

Thank you.

How do I become a president?

So I can stay in your suite.

You stay in the
suite and that's all.

So everyone will
call you president.

Ah, I could get
addicted to that,

very nice, very
nice water indeed.

So this is the-

We have also here living room.

So where you can rest
as a president or
work as a president.

Ah, so you can bring
your friends and

talk about presidential things.

Yeah. How to be a
president, how to solve

the problems in the country.

I'm blessed that

Zepter or Zepter
Hotels or Mr. Zepter

gave me opportunity
to sit with Boycie.

Boycie's visit means
to all of us in Serbia,

because all-

when we grow up,

we was watching Fools
and Horses, of course,

and everybody knows that
and everybody knows him.

But, I think, the most
important for us is that

Boycie one of the actors who
is always doing some business,

that's what we are
doing in Serbia

for the last thirty years.

We are just doing something

and it's gonna be
something at the end.

So that's why he's a perfect
guide for our country.

More or less, we
didn't have internet

and that period, but on
TV, they repeated always

the Fools and Horses,

because they didn't
have to do anything else

except this or the news about
bombing, so if you choose

Fools and Horses and
news about bombing,

we all chose Fools and Horses.

That's normal to escape and

to have a laugh a little
bit during that period.

As all of us are thinking that

next year we are gonna
be a millionaires.

That's the most
important thing for us,

so we are always thinking

and we are always acting like
we are doing some business.

So, which the- like they made

the comedy in Serbia,
not in England, so

it's the same thing like

all the actors, I mean, are
from Serbia, not from England,

so for us, that's our motto.

Well, I suppose if I was doing
something really important

I might need an
office, you know, but-

And you can maybe try
out some our models,

which is our gift to you,

to have this special glasses.

No, for me?

Yeah.

No, really?

You can try it.

Should I put them on?

Yeah.

Okay.

See how, how you look.

How do I look?

Yes. I look, I don't
know, how do I look?

I'm not sure they suit me
as well as they suit you,

you know.

You can find some other ones.

Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

So there's lots of
choices are there?

Yeah.

Okay. I have this one

also.

What do you think?

[Camera Man] I think
they're better.

You think they're better?

Can I trust him?
I suppose I can.

Yes, you made me-

Look like a professor.

So in the darker ones,
what do I look like?

An idiot?

No

Those are extraordinary,
yeah, yeah.

So it's these or those, yes?

The choice is yours.

So if you prefer

bigger glasses, then this one.

If you- smaller ones.

The smaller ones, yeah.

I think this one is perfect.

Yes. I think so. Yes, yes.

Good. Thank you very much.

Very kind.

I'll put them back in here.

Terrific, thank you.

So is there someone in here now

who all this belongs
to, or this is your,

this is where all your
stuff lives, yeah?

This is where Mr. Zepter
works at the moment.

So he's staying here and
working when he's in Belgrade.

Oh, fantastic.

Well, that's very kind,
thank you very much.

Here is also a brochure.

So you can read a
little bit more.

Yeah, sure, sure.
That would be good.

Hyper light optics. Wow.

Wait till I go home and I talk
to Specsavers about these.

Yeah.

They will not know
what I'm talking about.

Yeah.

Thank you very much.
That's very good of you.

Thank you.

It was a pleasure having lunch
and having time with you.

Yes, very good lunch. Very good.

She looks good in
them, I must say.

Well, I was asked to
go to a shopping center

in the middle of Belgrade

and I thought, well there
might be a few people there

doing a bit of
shopping, I suppose, but

that's about all.

But I was absolutely
flabbergasted that

over 500 people turned up.

The extraordinary thing was
that most of them spoke English.

And not only that English
I could understand.

Hello. Yeah. Very
well thanks and you?

All the cushty here mate

Yeah, cushty oh very cushty.

Well, it's not a word I use

my character, you know,

but that's for
the lower classes.

I'm a lower class mate.

That's brilliant.

So you're from London, are you?

No, I'm not from London.

I'm from Belgrade and Stockholm.

I'm half-Swedish, half-Serbian,

but I go in London quite often.

Next month I go.

Yeah?

What on business or?

Pleasure probably, yeah.

Punk music, concerts.

Ah, fantastic.

From Australia.

[Man's Voice] And it's
gonna be signed in Belgrade

and send back to where?

No, it's mine.

The security was
really something else.

It was really sort of-

No.

They frightened the hell
out of me, I can tell you.

[Man's Voice] To
see Boycie today?

Big stuff

here for me, you know.

I always wanted to meet someone
from Only Fools and Horses.

And now, this is the day,
you know, to meet Boycie.

[Man's Voice] And you've
brought something here for him.

What is it?

Yes, yes. This is a present.

This is a sketch from

TV show

and the Green Green Grass.

[Man's Voice] And
you drew it yourself.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm
artist, you know.

Yes, yes, this is a
special present to him.

I wanted to give it to Boycie.

Well, I'm really excited
to meet Boycie, because

he's one of my favorite actors
from Only Fools and Horses

and I watched every episode
for a couple of times, so

I'm very excited to be here.

Awaiting this,
almost forty years.

Shopping center is the biggest

and most popular shopping
center in the region.

For us like leading
the market is really

privilege to have
the star like Boycie.

We are privileged to
host fans of Boycie here.

The great man. It's
a honor to meet

a man like him.

He's so nice. He's gentle.

He is so on the ground
and he is really a star.

I was given an invitation
to meet the health minister

and off we went, this
extraordinary building.

We met the health minister and

I was interested really, because

of the NHS here. It's a great
bone of contention, you know.

What do you do with it?
How do you support it?

How do you fund it?

So, and I wondered if it was
the same there in Serbia.

Well, as far as I can remember,

Boris Johnson started
his election campaign
from a hospital,

promising that he's
gonna improve the system

and everything
else and make sure

that these things
would be better.

I'm not sure if
he's gonna succeed.

It's a really difficult task.

Yeah, remember Margaret Thatcher
also started a healthcare

reform, but hasn't
completed it fully

and has-

It's not just a question
of throwing money.

Everybody throws more money,
but it is how it is organized.

I just wondered if you,

your system works better
than ours, that's all.

The health care
is free and so on,

but you know, for certain cases,

I think you still have
to pay, which sounds like

private medicine, which
sounds very similar to us.

While we're there, we touched
on Princess Katherine,

who does some wonderful
work, charity work,

raising money to look after
people, less fortunate people.

And she goes all round
the world, raising funds

and does an absolutely
remarkable job and

the health minister
was very keen to say

how much good work she's doing,
so that was very gratifying.

I think the conclusion
that I've come to is that,

not only that comedy
unites people,

but how lucky I was to be part

of a show like Only
Fools and Horses

and being out here
brings it home to me,

really how much it
can help people.

When I think of the
bombing in Serbia

and groups of people

escaping from that reality

into the land of
Only Fools and Horses

and laughing and
hugging each other,

it really brings it home to me.

That that's important.
That's the important thing,

whatever else is going on,

but that laughter, that
enjoyment, that sort of culture,

I suppose I could say,
brings everybody together.

And if only we could
bottle that feeling,

just take a swig of it
every now and again,

perhaps all our problems in
this world would be over.

So, here we are in
the Peckham of Serbia,

mind you I'm not sure Peckham
ever looked this good, really.

A few abandoned cars
around, a Lada or two,

maybe I could put
them on my forecourt,

maybe a bit of profit
here, who knows?

So, what do we got
round the corner here.

Oh, hello.

So this is where you finished
up post-Brexit Del Boy.

I often wondered
what happened to you.

I think you could have done
better than this though,

couldn't you?

Ever been to the
Seychelles, have you?
