Default Only Fools and Horses - The Complete Series 7

Voted the best British sitcom of all time in a 2004 audience poll, Only Fools and Horses entered its seventh and final regular season with Rodney's hasty retreat back to Nelson Mandela House, a move that conflicts with Del's plans to persuade Raquel to relocate to Chez Trotter. Even Uncle Albert takes his chance with romance, yet through it all Trotter's Independent Traders (TIT for short) remain active as ever in their hilarious pursuit of any scheme that might bring that elusive million to the brothers Trotter.
Customer Review: Fools and Horses
I did not know what to expect with this title, leave it the british, very pleasantly surprised and besides I like the actor, who also was in Green Grocers (much younger) then, and Touch of Frost (older now) this is a must watch when you are down in the dumbs and no matter how many times I watch it, there is always something I either forgot or see it differently. The actor playing Rodney is also very good in Butterflies, another Series I would like aquire.
Customer Review: Trotter's Indepedent Fun
If not for my Britcom loving ex-pat English wife, I probably would have never discovered Only Fools and Horses. Starting with Series 1 - 3, these stateside DVD releases are met with anticipation in our household that only rivals Christmas. That being said, it was "Holiday Time" once again as Series 7 arrived at the front door. For the uninformed, Only Fools follows the exploits of brothers/"businessmen" Derrick & Rodney Trotter. Accompanied by a cast of strong supporting characters (Especially Roger Floyd-Pack as Trigger who also plays Owen in the Vicar of Dibley), Only Fools travels familiar sitcom roads albeit with a fresh, funny and character driven approach. The final episode "Three Men, A Woman and A Baby" drives this point home. Britcoms differ greatly from their American counterparts. By using a fifty minute time format, Only Fools is able to broaden the palette. Not only do you have great comedic moments, but you have interwoven areas of drama, that thanks to strong character development, provide for a stronger, more balanced show. I am not sure how well Series 7 will translate to American viewers. Although it is great television, it is not typical American fare and there are a lot of dated and transatlantic colloquialisms that I even had to ask about. However, if you are already a lover of British television and especially Only Fools, then Series 7 will be a great addition. After all, Only Fools is the only reason I took a picture of a "3-Wheel Van" while in England earlier this year! It would have been nice if the BBC would have kept up with the DVD packaging they produced for the first two Only Fools sets. The cheap plastic case Series 7 arrives in resembles something Del might pass off as "New and exquisite!" If you are new to the series, start from the beginning. If you already know the Trotter's than pick right up where you left off!
