    5 Stars Green Green Grass of Home! 01/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Marlene and Boycie play these parts so well.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing can compare to Only Fools and Horses!!!

    If you are a fan of John Sullivan's Only Fools and Horses you will love this spin-off' called Green Green Grass' also written by John Sullivan. Even if you have never seen Only Fools and Horses you will still enjoy as it is full of fun and originality. First let me introduce you to Boycie and Marlene. For those of you who know them from Only Fools and Horses they are the best duo of the sitcom. Boycie is a stubborn and snobby business man who owns a dodgy second hand car show room. He sees anyone as 'having a pound less than him as a peasant' as described by Del Boy. He has been married to ... more

    1 Star The Grass Definitely Is Not Greener On This Side 30/12/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Pointless Characters, Unfunny Plot

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I really Can't See Anything Good That Has Come From This

    I am surprised this tv show even exists, well actually by the time you have finished my review I am sure you will be able to see why. For those of you who are not familiar with this show it is a spin-off of the legendary British comedy Only Fools and Horses. The characters used for the spinoff are Boycie and Marlene and John Sullivan is also back to write the script for this show. Could it really come even close to matching the greatness of Only Fools and Horses. In one word NO!. Cast: John Challis as Boycie Sue Holderness as Marlene David Ross as Elgin Jack Doolan as Tyler Ivan Kaye as Bryan ... more
