This box set is pure class!

Only fools and horses is a comedy series about a cockney con man (Del Boy - David Jason) who dreams of making a fortune and becoming a millionaire. But each dodgy deal or scheme he comes up with always seems to end in disaster. Then theres his kid brother, hopeless but loveable rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) then theres Grandad (Lennard Pearce) to look after. Then later Uncle Albert (Buster Merryfield) shows up. The family lived in Nelson Mandela House - a council flat in a tower block in Peckham. Del Boy has made some famous catchphrashes such as "Lovely Jubbly" and "Bonjour". The comedy was created by John Sullivan who also sang the catchy theme tune. Only fools and horses has won 13 top comedy awards including 2 best comedy BAFTA' s.

This collection was released in October 2006. Here together in one collection (26 discs) is every episode plus the specials of Britain's best-loved comedy series! And the packaging it comes in is typical Del boy style.
