Customer Reviews

Read the description first!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not much to say other than classic british comedy, ignore those who are complaining about missing episodes. This is the series 1-7 nothing more, first off, white mice, xmas trees and licence to drill where never EVER released, the first 2 were Comic relief shows and the last was actually a school educational program! The rest are feature length episodes 1 hour upwards which are NOT classed as part of the series, they are go between episodeds so are not included in this set but! the Specials as they are called can be bought in a box set too.

Perfect
Suely the best BBC comedey ever for sheer development alone if nothing else. David Jason is undoubtedly Britains finest TV actor after John Thaw (and better than many UK film actors) and Lyndhurst is an excellent partner.

The best series are 5, 6 and 7 as the writers progress into much more story based scripts rather than disasters waiting to happen but there is not a single duff episode amongst them.

Don't be a plonker and not buy this!!!
Only Fools And Horses has been voted Britain's best ever comedy and rightly so. There are many classic moments to be had - too many to mention.

One of my favourite episodes is when the Trotters win a holiday overseas but Rodney has to pretend to be a 14 year old who's part of the "groovy gang" and take part in all the "fun" activities set up by the organisers. Then a young girl in the group develops a crush on our Rodders. Classic stuff!

In this box set you get to watch all 7 series but this does not include the feature length specials which are all sold seperatly.

Only Fools rarely has a bad episode although I did come across one in the first series disc (that I had never seen before even though I thought I'd seen everything there was of Only Fools) where the Trotters find a nuclear war shelter. This was a rather poor episode very low on laughs.

Also there is a distinct lack of extras... as in none whatsover! Why it was decided to add nothing extra is beyond me. Surely there are lots of interesting things hidden away in the vaults. Whatever the reason, the fact of the matter is you're left with a no-frills DVD adaptation of the best British comedy ever. It's worth buying for anyone who's a fan of comedy because Only Fools is timeless.

Go on, buy it you plonker! You know it makes sense!!!
