YMMV / Only Fools And Horses S 6 E 05 Sickness And Wealth

• Fair for Its Day: While Del's homophobia is very much a product of its time and obviously hasn't aged well, the show displays a surprising degree of AIDS awareness. Although the disease is not mentioned by name, it's made clear that even Del understands that it's something that heterosexual men can contract, contrary to widespread popular opinion at the time (1989). Rodney is also rightfully scornful of Del believing that he could have contracted it from a male hairdresser who might be gay and that he's accusing a perfectly innocent person; he quips that he's hardly going to catch it from a comb, and when Del says that the hairdresser might have nicked his neck with a razor, Rodney retorts that 'As long as he didn't kiss it better, you're laughing!'.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The gag about Jimmy Savile during the séance is this, following the revelations about his prolific paedophilia which surfaced after his death in 2011. Since then, it's been cut when this episode has been repeated on The BBC, but the uncut version is still the one that's used on Gold.
