Allen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I haven't noticed. But the name Dave (David)..as in David Croft. The writer of the most watched comedy programmes....."Allo Allo", "Hi Di Hi", "Dads Army". Could that be the reason ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the name Dave that's funny. In the context of 'Only Fools' it's the context it's used in. Nobody laughs at the 'name' Dave, it's the fact that Trigger is convinced it's actually Rodney's name, and is totally oblivious to the fact that everyone else calls him Rodders.

DUFFEMS Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I once read that the channel was called Dave because "everybody knows a Dave". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antone Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I once read that the channel was called Dave because "everybody knows a Dave".Exactly. Dave is a commonplace name. Or was. As teenagers we'd try to gatecrash parties by showing up and saying, "We're mates of Dave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
