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.

ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES - SERIES 1

UK: Martin Shardlow, 1981 (Created by John Sullivan)

As part of the ongoing and evolving cultural exchange taking place between my girlfriend and I, we have decided to sit down and watch every single episode of Only Fools and Horses - officially my favourite TV sitcom ever. As I'm often to be found watching an episode of Only Fools and Horses whilst doing pretty much anything else - working, cooking, cleaning, sleeping or relaxing - it may slip my mind to organise posts on individual series but here goes.

We have finished series 1 already and what is left to say about it aside from repeating the fact that it is simply the funniest and most enjoyable sitcom ever made.

Score: 10/10
