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 with the Trotters, you will also see some of the most touching scenes ever to grace a Comedy show, which is what makes this such a special collection. This is the kind of show you could sit down and watch over and over again. I also feel that the price is very fair and overall, a very good buy.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
