Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras
Only Fools & Horses, based in Peckham 1981 gives us the First Complete Series to possibly the Longest Running BBC Comedy shown on British T.V screens.
An excellent show of British Comedy writing which has given British T.V viewers years of laughter covering 2 decades. Only Fools & Horses is a Comedy Series which focuses on a family from Peckham, London. This family is no ordinary family, with Grandad, an elderly grandad continually reliving his ... ...teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television.
But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as well as being a timeless programme
for many different ages to sit down and be entertained.
Many characters feature throughout the Series, all of which play a specific role to the episode but always remain ...

Advantages: comedy genius, family values, light relief from reality Disadvantages: humour is all based on taste and it may not be to everyones taste
In my opinion this series is one of the comedy classics of our time. The Trotter family trials and tribulations are a great comedy escape from your own!! It is a programme that will make you laugh really hard at some of the whacky antics that they do to create money to live! The comical catchphrases and antics of Del Boy mixed with the strong family bond are a great mix I think and they create a classic world of comedy in their series. I think that ...

Only fools and horses is the best British comedy ever made in my opinion. Based in the south London areas of Deptford and Peckham it follows the lives of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, two wheeler dealer type businessmen who run their business trotters independent traders from the back of their three wheeled reliant robin van. The pair are always shifting dodgy goods and will do almost anything to earn a few quid. The show concentrates mainly on these ... ...this DVD set.

Advantages: All come in one box Disadvantages: Not all the specials are included
Only Fools and Horses is an absolute legendary tv series and was one of the only great British comedies in the past few years.
The partnership between Del and Rodney is heartwarming and you can not help but roll over in stitches at their comedy capers!
Even though I have seen all the episodes when I purchased the box set and watched them all again I found that there was so much I missed - you definitely need to watch them all more than twice!
... ...move from your tv - only to keep topping up the refreshments.
You can never get bored of watching these timeless classic episodes of the best comedy series ever!
Trigger is my favourite character as who could honestly still have the same sweeping brush after numerous handle and head changes? Noone else could get away with being so dumb but Trigger.
Del is a great main character with his dodgy dealings down Peckham market and his side kick brother ...

...trying to impress some girls only to find the barman swings back the part of the bar in order to get out that Del Boy was leaning on and Del Boy leans back, this time falling over, drink in hand! Or the Batman and Robin sketch, turning up to that party, and then the chandeliers. Very funny and will always be so.

Only Fools and Horses can only be described as a comedy classic. It's the sort of program that you felt you had grown tired of, until it left our TV screens for the last time.
This DVD gives the chance to look back and see how sharp, quick witted and genuinly laugh out loud funny this show was.
Pick it up and enjoy. ...

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 box set 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, ... ...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 box set is a must have for any fan out there. ...

Advantages: Cheers you up when your down Disadvantages: None
Only fools & horses were on the tv back in the days when I was a spotty faced teenager, therefore my interests back then were chasing the girls and going to the pub, I never had time to sit in and watch programmes such as only fools. But that was back in the day and now im older (and supposedly wiser). I received the box set as a xmas present which I must admit sat dormant for a month or so. Then one depressing sunday when i was bored witless I decided ... ...instantly cheered up by watching only fools and horses, in my opinion the best sitcom ever made, and the thing about this sitcom is it gets better and better as it goes on. Without giving too much away, my fave moments have to be batman n robin, the blow up dolls, rodney pretending to be 15, Del-boy falling thru the bar, lol, theres so many comedy classic moments, this really is money well spent and one of the best, if not the best xmas presents ...
