Only Fools and Horses was a show by the BBC, penned by John Sullivan and starring David Jason and Nichoolas Lyndhurst.

It is about Del and Rodney Trotter - partners in their own business, Trotters' Independent Traders Co. (TITco) - usually dealing in dodgy items and barely ever make any profit.

The show happens to have the largest UK TV audience for one screening, never beaten in the UK - on 29th December 1996 - the originally-planned 'final' episode brought in 24.3 million viewers, as they said goodbye to the series that had been ongoing since 1981.

It's also the most loved UK sitcom as seen in many public polls. Americans, however, and modern children, seem to think their comedy is far better, it's not, OFAH is the greatest series ever made.

Discuss below. (I have two dvd boxsets - one has everything, one just the series. Also a few books.)

Favourite Episode: The Jolly Boys' Outing (Christmas Special 1989, 20.1 million viewers originally)

Oh I love this show....I watched it when I was really young, it came through to the 90's my mum watched it everyday. Me and my siblings sat down and watched it with her. Its a really funny show but, sadly I can't remember the names of each episode. I did enjoy watching a lot of them though.  ^-^

Thanks for the reply.

I actually came in blind (from series 2) a few years ago - watched the first series after S6 - and ended up watching every episode by the end of last year (I watched the Christmas Trilogy of 1996 on Christmas, and I hadn't watched the second episode of it until then).

People who trash on it, are idiots who haven't watched it, or don't have a proper sense of humour.
