Show Summary

EDIT

For 15 years, Brothers Derek 'Del boy' and Rodney Trotter of 'Trotters Independant Traders PLC' have entertained us both with Del's extreme optimism and scams and, quite simply, Rodney's facial expressions upon hearing those scams. Throughout the years, Grandad died and the equally funny Uncle Albert came to live with them, the brothers married and Del Boy had a son, Damien.

It's not a classic!

Never liked this show with it's contemporary portrayal of Peckham folk, the likes of Del & Boycie probably existed circa 1950s. In the present day these types would have upped sticks to the leafier confines of Kent. The characters were awful, Grandad came across as being somewhat camp, Marlene was a pantomime figure while Raquel & Cassandra would not have made do with the likes of Del & Rodney. Also the words spouted out by Del such as cushty, plonker etc. didn't endear me to this show.

The UK press overate OH&H big time, it's not a national institution & it ain't as funny as Fawlty Towers or Steptoe.moreless

Cool!

As good as comedy gets- Whereas the earlier series were good- the show matures- and so do the characterizations. By the time we get Uncle instead of granddad the show is in its full stride (It was sad loss however that brought about the cast change.) I urge all who have not seen this show to give it a chance- you will not be disappointed. The show demonstrates changing views over the last twenty years- It is amazing just how much the world has changed. Do not let the culture differences between British and American Humor worry you- whereas i am admittedly a transplanted Brit here in the States- the show has gained many a fan by my American family, friends and neighbors. In fact my American wife is about as big a fan of the show as you can get.moreless

Dead, ancient, but will always be funny.

This has to be one of the most well-written shows ever.

It's about two brothers in the "modern" merchant's world, but that's not why it's well written. Somehow, it manages to hint at something, but so subtly you wouldn't notice. That way, when something happens involving it, it is always brilliant.

My only gripe is that it requires you to watch most of the episode to enjoy it.

That aside, it really is a timeless classic. In today's world of Little Britain and Catherine Tate, it provides a welcome relief. I just wish we'd spend more time and money on proper comedies like this...moreless

Only Fools and Horses is a comedy about the lives of Derek "Del Boy" Trotter, Rodney Trotter, his younger brother, their Grandad (1981-1984) and their great-uncle, Uncle Albert (1985-1997). "Rodney, you really are a right plonker."moreless

I only started watching this a few weeks ago but now it is one of my favourite comedies ever. I think all the characters are hilarious, especially Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad and Uncle Albert. I also think Trigger is really funny because in every episode in which he appears in, you can always count on him to do something so stupid but so funny. I was quite sad when I found out that Lennard Pearce (Grandad) had died and even more sad when I watched the episode that had Grandad's funeral. Grandad is always hilarious when he sometimes makes fun of Del Boy and Rodney. I have nearly watched all 64 episodes of the series but I really wish that the had made more episodes. I think the episode where Damien Trotter, Del and Raquel's son, is introduced into the series is really funny as well as the other few times afterwards when you see Damien making, what looks to Rodney whenever he looks at Damien, an "evil look". I was thinking that perhaps John Sullivan could write and make a 30th Anniversary Christmas Special for next year to celebrate the show's 30th Anniversary, he could even write another series or two after the Christmas Special. I really hope that David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst are up for a Christmas Special and possibly one or two more series. I think it would be cool if John does do a Christmas Special for next year, then we could catch up with Del, Raquel and their son, Damien, and Rodney, Cassandra and their daughter, Joan Trotter Jr...moreless

This never gets old.

By optimist799, Jan 20, 2010

I grew up watching this show and it's absolutely hilarious.The characters are epic,storylines amazing,and humor is so good that it can't be described.I personally more liked the first episodes with granpa.Too bad his actor died.RIP Leonard Pierce.Delboy and his french make-up words are the top,and Rodney is one of the best TV show characters ever(Trigger too).Unfortunately,the show suffered from quality drop.It should end with Time on our hands.I don't like the final episode,Sleepless in Peckham,at all.I would recommend this show to everyone and if somehow you didn't watch it,you must!
