Editorial Review

Regularly touted as one of the best British sitcoms ever, Only Fools and Horses kicked off in 1981 when mobile phones were the size of bricks and wine bars were the ultimate places to hang out in. The formula was simple enough: Cockney wide boy Derek Trotter (brilliantly played by David Jason) dreams of better things for himself while sharing a cramped council flat in the nicely named Peckham tower block Nelson Mandela House with his unworldly brother Rodney and his sweet but doddery old granddad. Trouble is, Del's endless money-making schemes (such as his attempt to flog a consignment of one-legged turkeys, or his plan to sell bottled tap water) inevitably backfire, like the knackered old van he uses to cart around all this faulty gear. Created by John Sullivan, who also sings the very catchy theme song, Only Fools and Horses is a wonderful mix of dodgy but loveable characters (such as Del Boy's dimwit friend Trigger), knockabout slapstick (no one falls down with as much comedic grace as Jason), and brilliantly crafted dialogue. The show ran seven seasons and ended with characteristic warmth in 1991, when Del Boy became a father; but the Trotters made occasional returns to the small screens with six hugely popular one-off Christmas specials. As Del Boy himself might say: "Lovely jubbly." --Edward Lawrenson

Product Description

Here together in one collection is every episode plus the specials of Britain's best-loved comedy series! Crafty cockney con man Derek Trotter (David Jason) dreams of making a fortune, but each dodgy deal and shady scheme always seems to end in disaster. And then there's his family to look after: loveable but hapless kid brother, Rodney; doddery old Grandad; and ex-seafaring Uncle Albert. This hilarious, life-affirming series is one of the most popular on British television, and the annual Only Fools and Horses Christmas specials became as fundamental a British holiday tradition as Christmas crackers and the Queen's Address to the Commonwealth. Only Fools and Horses boasts 13 top comedy awards including two Best Comedy BAFTAs, and the series finale, "Sleepless in Peckham" was viewed by two out of three British households on Christmas Day, 2003.

Rating: - fools horses box set purchase

I bought this box set for my wife, when it was delivered I was very impressed. the packaging and presentation of the box set is out standing. Worth the money for an old classic series complimented by excellent presentation which proudly sits on our video unit and is watched regular, even by our 6yr old son!!

What a collection!! This DVD set is just fantastic, the people who have commented on editing differences are obviously HUGE fans who have previously seen all episodes, if like me you've seen a few here and there and found them utterly hilarious, you will love the box set. The episodes all look fab to me ... The case is also AWESOME!! And I just love it - FANTASTIC price too ~ won't go wrong with this buy ;) x

Rating: - "Cushty" dont be a Plonker

Thank god i didnt take notice of all the negative reviews, my son told me to get the box set so i did. I think it is a fantastic 26 disc set (with all the episodes including the christmas specials) David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst at their best. Even though ive watched all of them before (and i have uk gold)i never get bored of only fools and horses and i still always laugh.(Only one small change plays different music in one scene and their is more laughter than usual..really though no big difference at all.) The packaging is lovely to this box set as well typical del boy style leopard skin ... Great set would highly recommend buying! (Took only 2 days for this to be delivered, well done Amazon)
