ROCK & CHIPS (TV) ****

UK: Dewi Humphreys, 2010

Doing a prequel to Only Fools & Horses must have been both a temptation and a challenge for writer John Sullivan. I suspect for many it will be the subject of criticism and be viewed as a superfluous project. However, speaking as a life-long fan of OFAH I thought Rock & Chips was fine, nostalgic, entertainment with a decent period setting and further proof of Sullivan's knack for emotional drama. I would be surprised though if this one-off feature length drama was picked-up for a full-length series.
