Classic British Commercial Vehicles (Box Set)

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: none

...Having collected the Only Fools and Horses Video's (HAHA) from a very ealy age, recently I was surprised with this fantastic boxset for my birthday. To start with not only does it contain every single episode and special of this classic series, the box itself is fabulous. Set like a book to give to Damian, (Del's Son) he writes a letter to his son on the inner cover which he intends to give him when he is older to show his son the history of his family, background and what they got up to throughout their lives. Throughout the pages of the boxset it features various pictures like a photo album that his son can treasure forever ... and also what us fans can treasure aswell. Starting from the beginning a youngish del living with his grandad and younger brother Rodney in Nelson Mandela House, the three continue to try and make a living... Read review

Advantages: Great box set of a legendary film and a good remake
Disadvantages: Could have makde more of original version

...I brought the box set as I enjoyed the new version at the cinema and my old version had worn out! Whilst mine was £15 at a well-known store a while ago, sets are now alot cheaper if you search for them. I'd reccommend getting the set as I enjoyed making comparsions between the films.

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 Complete Series 1 To 7 (Box Set) 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... Read review
