Amazon.co.uk Review
The 80s yielded few more memorable comic characters than Derek "Del Boy" Trotter, the obstinately proud salesman of goods of dodgy quality and even dodgier legality. Humiliating his dopey brother, whining grandfather and leech-like uncle, he insisted that "this time next year we'll be millionaires". What made Only Fools and Horses so appealing was the very real affection that writer John Sullivan felt for all these characters and, with stories that were often as moving as they were hilarious, the show was both a celebration and critique of Thatcherite Britain.
Much of the first five series is on video, but for those who feel embarrassed travelling with a TV and video recorder on their lap, their scripts now exist in this more portable volume. Without visuals and vocals, they may not make many converts, but highlights abound, such as Rodney's date with a policewoman and a slasher movie send-up, and the book ends with the moving episode where Del Boy turns down a job in Australia.
Mildly let down by a rather meagre two-page Trotter to English dictionary, this is nevertheless a treat. "Pas de calais" as Del would say. --Stephen Portlock --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Don't be a plonker all you're life: buy this book now!,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Only Fools and Horses": Bible of Peckam v.3: Bible of Peckam Vol 3 (Only Fools & Horses Scripts, 3) (Hardcover)
Only Fools And Horses, the enduring comedy classic focused on the inept Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, is brought to book form with this third collection of classic scripts. Remember the moment where Del and friends accidently blow up a coach? Or the wonderful final episode, in which the Trotter brothers dreams came true when they finally became millionaires? Relive these moments and more in the third volume of "The Bible Of Peckham". As well as all of the feature length episodes between 1986 and 1996, there are also scripts for various special episodes, such as 1997's Comic Relief edition. Also included is a brilliant Nags Head quiz. This is a wonderful buy which will take you ages to finish reading. Lovely Jubbly!

This review is from: "Only Fools and Horses": "The Long Legs of the Law", "A Losing Streak", "The Yellow Peril", " No Greater Love" v.1: "The Long Legs of the Law", "A ... No Greater Love" Vol 1 (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
Four of the funniest episodes from an early series of Only Fools and Horses, starring David Jason (Del Boy), Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney) and Lennard Pearce (Grandad). These don't suffer from being transferred from TV to audio - they're just as funny, and it's possible to pick up more of the quick comments as there's nothing to look at. Grandad's contribution, sorely missed in later series is a treasure.One of the true cornerstones of British comedy - a must own set.

This review is from: "Only Fools and Horses": The Bible of Peckham v.1: The Bible of Peckham Vol 1 (Only Fools & Horses) (Hardcover)
Just as funny as the TV series and in more depth - any fan of British comedy will appreciate this.
