Alan Parry Only Fools And Horses

Alright, mate, buckle up! We're diving into the world of Only Fools and Horses, that classic British sitcom that's been making us chuckle since the '80s. You know the drill - it's all about the Trotters, a loveable bunch of South London chancers trying to make a quick buck. Let's get stuck in!

Meet the Trotters

First up, we've got Del Boy, the eternal optimist and self-proclaimed 'ladykiller'. He's always got a dodgy deal on the go, from selling 'faulty' goods to trying to flog a 'miracle' watch that's 'worth a million pounds'.

Then there's his long-suffering brother, Rodney. Poor Rodney, always getting roped into Del's schemes. He's the voice of reason, but let's face it, he's usually ignored. And who could forget their granddad, Grandad, with his catchphrase 'You know it makes sense'?

Only Fools and... Catchphrases?

Speaking of catchphrases, this show's got more than a few! There's Del's 'This time next year, we'll be millionaires!' and 'You know it makes sense' from Grandad. But did you know the original catchphrase was going to be 'You lucky, lucky people'? Fancy that!

Quirky Facts

Here's a fun one for you - the Trotters' iconic three-wheeled van, Trigger, was actually called a Reliant Regal in real life. But who wants to be that boring, right?

And get this, the show's theme tune, 'The Frog Song', was originally written for a French TV commercial. Who would've thought, eh?

Why We Love It

So, why's this show still got us in stitches after all these years? Well, it's the Trotters' never-say-die attitude, their hilarious misfortunes, and the fact that, deep down, we can all relate to their dream of striking it rich.

Plus, it's just full of brilliant one-liners. Who can forget Del's 'Lovely jubbly!' or 'He's not the full shilling, you know'? Classic!

Fancy a Trotter's Treat?

Fancy a bit of Trotter's cuisine? You can whip up Del's famous 'Peckham Spring Lamb' at home. Just don't ask what's in the 'special sauce'...

And if you're feeling really adventurous, why not give the 'Time-share' sketch a go? Just remember, it's all about the timing, mate!
