The First Series1to 7 BoxSet is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this BoxSet is that there is no particular order you must follow.
There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes,
you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow.
This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure.
Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults.
The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television.
But the BoxSet is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

Advantages: Best comedy ever!!!! Disadvantages: Not many extras, but hey, what more could you possibly want
...THE best comedy series ever created is my honest opinion. There are very few actual laugh out loud comedy programmes however all seven series of this fabulous boxset are incredibly funny. The family consists of Delboy (the ultimate cockney geezer), his brother Rodney (the ultimate dipstick), and either grandad in earlier series or uncle Albert in later series, and of course their friends including Trigger and Boycie. As far as british comedy goes, I would go as far as saying this is unbeatable, from the moment you begin watching you will fall in love with the loveable rogues and follow their journey through the years as they try absolutely every scam in the book to make a fast buck. You could also watch these episodes over and over again which suggests how good this is. The boxset is a must have for any fan out there....

Advantages: Loads of episodes! Well priced, Very Funny Disadvantages: None
...This is classic British Comedy at it's best!!!
It follows Brothers, Del and Rodney's up hill struggle, wheeling and dealing around the South London area, in their efforts to become "millionairs", getting envolved in all sorts of trouble along the way!
They are based in Peckham with the ever so crafty Grandad, running their own, "Trotters Independant Traders" business, with no intentions of paying Income Tax or VAT!!
I grew up watching Only Fools And Horses with my Family and loved the non-stop, laughs a minute gags that were thrown all over the place!
I now own The CompleteSeries1To 7 (BoxSet) and watch it all the time with my little boys and still find it as hillarious as I did the first time I saw it!
This is a must for fans of Comedy and as well as sharing the ups and downs...
