Review of Complete Only Fools And Horses (Box Set) (DVD)

...of the Laurel & Hardy complete box set, this is the only other one I've watched over and over. It's great to go back to the beginning and find little snippets of information the characters say about their past that you had missed or forgotten and Del's "Mum said on her deathbed" quirks crack me up especially when Rodney after hearing this over and over say's, "Mum didn't half say a lot when she was dying". Ok, I'm laughing now just writing about ...
...really DOES have that effect. This is by far the best comedy ever to come out of Britain and as far back as it goes, the gags never become outdated. Del and Dave...er...Rodney are truly the best double act since Laurel & Hardy and it will take a lot to top them. There's nothing today that comes close on either side of the Atlantic but I don't care, I have my box set! ...

Only Fools and Horses could be one of the funniest programmes anyone, anywhere could watch. The Trotter family consists of two brothers Derek and Rodney(played by David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst) who live in their Nelson Mandela Flat are traders in peckham, struggling to make ends meet, but they always end up with dodgy deals, which makes this programme pure gold to watch. You will wet your pants if you were to watch Only Fools and Horses, because ...
...end up with. Derek is the more assertive, extrovert brother of the two brothers. He manages to always get him and his brother into trouble by buying 'Knocked Off' products such as inflatable dolls which are explosive! Rodeny is the more intelligent brother, he thinks things through, unlike his brother. I would recommend this product to any potential buyer looking for an old, classic comedy.Only Fools and Horses is worth the money. I would rate this ...

...The advantages of having the complete box set are huge, because somehow you always seem to remember incidents and episodes which you just have to see, and with the box set you can. Includes every episode including the christmas specials. As you follow the brothers journey from rags to riches, you also notice the friendship, scenarios and characters which all seem so real, maybe due to the fact that they were all based on people that creator John ...
...death of the actor who plays Grandad, Lennard Pierce, passes away in real life, is superbly written into the script and you see the highly emotional funeral, which can make you cry one second and be bellowing with laughter the next, Also the episode in which the brothers find their uncle Albert and take him in to become a possibly even more famous character than grandad. All in all a briiliant box set, which i challenge to be beaten, hours and hours ...

Review of Complete Only Fools And Horses (Box Set) (DVD)

The Complete Only Fools and Horses chronicles every single episode from the seven series', as well as each feature length and Christmas special. It is extremely well laid out, in chronological order, so that the show can be watched from start to end with no fuss. The DVDs are all top quality, the sound and pictures are excellent so viewing pleasure is not inhibited in any way. The packaging is also small enough to fit on to shelves, something not ...
...when it first came out, the price. Nearing £200 it was a lot of money for a show that doesn't run anymore, even one as revered as this. Since then, however, the price has fallen by half and so is very much the bargain for any only fools/comedy fan. In my opinion, if you're a fan of the show, a fan of comedy, or just a plain old casual viewer, get this. Apart from being iconic in its potrayal of british life, it is excellent fun. One for all the ...
