Often touted as the best British sitcom ever, Only Fools and
Horses tells the story of the crafty cockney huckster Derek Trotter (David
Jason), who has finally found the perfect scheme which he is convinced will make
him a millionaire within a year! Del's kid brother Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst)
and his sweet but doddery old granddad (Lennard Pearce) have seen 'em all,
however, from the one-legged turkeys to the Old English vinyl briefcases which
no one can open. Even the Trotter's car, the 3-wheeled Robin Reliant, is forever
slightly off balance. Brilliantly written and populated by a colorful cast of
characters, Only Fools and Horses boasts 13 top comedy awards including 2
British Academy Awards for Best Comedy Series, and its 2002 Christmas special
was viewed by 2 out of 3 households in the U.K. As Del-boy himself would say:
"Lovely jubbly!"
