Reviews

lovefilm-57992 Only Fools & Horses makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and then every now and again, it makes me do both at the same time.

Termingamer2-JD Only Fools is regarded as the changer of UK sitcoms. Previously, before this series, sitcoms were mainly set around middle-class families. John Sullivan decided to change this for his show (originally called 'Big Brother' which is the name of the first episode), which features a working-class family with two market traders, Del and Rodney Trotter. Although the reaction from the pubic at the time was poor - 8.9 million viewers on average for the first series, in 1996 the last episode reached to 24.3 million viewers, a record for UK television, making it also the most watched sitcom in the country. This was truly deserved. Sullivan writes beautifully, and his actors are true professionals. Due to these creations we now remember most of the main cast by their roles in Only Fools - and even the minor characters are remembered due to being part of this show. The greatest episode for me - and many others, it seems - is probably The Jolly Boys' Outing (Christmas 1989). OFAH's humour is sometimes lacking, especially with the random insults and such - but in general happens to be a masterclass, with a meaning of its own. You could be crying at one minute, and then laughing in the next. Overall an excellent comedy which somehow has been bashed by Americans, because they don't know what comedy is.Today, OFAH would have never made it - and in general comedy is nowhere near like it was, now we think explicit sex 'humour' is funny.

kikkapi20 This show deserves to be remembered as the best comedy of all time. With its hilarious characters, such as Del Boy, Rodders, Albert, Grandad and Trigger, the sheer hilarity of the situations they get themselves in, and the fact everything always seems to go wrong, it is without doubt a cult classic. Some of the funniest TV moments of all time came from this show - Del falling through the bar, the chandelier incident, the Jolly Boys Outing - all are remembered fondly, and you'll laugh every time you see an episode, not just the first time. The fact every viewer was so happy when they finally got their million in the end showed how well the actors, writers and all the crew have done to make all viewers feel such strong emotions for the characters, and this show should never be forgotten. The best British sitcom of all time? Definitely.

BritishMovieBuff Quite simply the best British TV show of all time and one of the best in the history. Written by The late great John Sullivan and featuring the talents of David Jason, Nick Lyndhurst and Buster Merryfield to mention just a few, only fools was always destined for greatness, the lovable and relatable characters, the perfect plot, sublime script it just couldn't fail to win the hearts of the viewers.It became a steady diet for the British public with almost 25 million people watching the episodes which at the time was half the population of the country, a viewing record that still stands today, it is one of the very few TV shows that could make you laugh uncontrollably one minute then cry your eyes out in the next. I could go on and on about this masterpiece, talking about my favourite episode (the unlucky winner is, series 6 episode 4), or my favourite feature length special (Heroes and Villains), but I wont, maybe the American readers haven't had the pleasure of watching only fools but please do give it a chance you won't regret it.
