Rock 'n' Chips - Only Fools and Horses Prequel

This will be OK as long as people realise it's NOT OFAH. F**kin hell, everything post-1996 wasn't. 1996 was where it ended and that's that.
 
That was "explained" in episode 1 of OFAH.

Del: "You know my brother, don't you, Trigger?"
Trigger: "Yeah. How's it going, Dave?"

It was a throwaway line that grew into sitcom's best running joke.:D



Re earlier comments about Rodney Charlton Trotter being named after Charlton Athletic was just Del-boy having a laugh. Obviously his film-fan mum named him after Charlton Heston.:p
 
I believe that he did know Freddie the Frog but mistakenly thought that his nickname was down to "his love of all things French" when in fact it was due to the fact that he had been a frogman in the Navy.
 
I was just referring to your misuse of the noun viz.comedy in the description "comedy drama" reference to this programme.
However I'm so glad it's "working for you". :)
 
I can't really see the point of this.

The popularity of OFAH is something I could never understand. IMO, it was a slightly above average sitcom in the 80s, but went rapidly downhill in the 90s, and the final few years' episodes were just embarassingly awful.

That Green Green Grass show was pathetic and this just looks like more of the same.

Why not use the budget they've spent on this on a brand new sitcom, with new writers, performers and ideas?
Who knows, it might actually be the next 'Fawlty Towers' or 'Young Ones' or ***insert other groundbreaking series here***

In America they constantly try out new sitcoms with writers/performers who have never worked in TV before.
Admittedly, most of these shows are crap, but every so often a 'Seinfeld' or a 'Larry Sanders Show' will make it through.

Surely the BBC should take a risk occasionally.
 
Mrs T has been watching this and isnt that impressed with it, hioefully it is only a one off as she dont think it has the legs to be as sucessful
 
This is the 50s. Praps she got knocked up with Delboy and HAD to marry Reg? Praps she loved him and he changed after they married?

Divorce was pretty taboo in the 50s...like being an unmarried/single mother. Better to stay with a slob...
 
Not to wish to damage the ego's of DigitalSpy's Resident TrainSpotters' but no-one outside of London and indeed a lot of people in London won't have any idea what sort of train or what station is used nor will they care
 
Although the Virgin Media iPlayer has it without the film effect- I've rewatched it on there, and in my opinion it looks much better without it.

Does anyone know who made the decision, and why? It just seems quite unusual, especially as it led to it going out on different channels in a different format.
