Product Description
Del, Rodney and Boycie are in jail in France for kidnapping. The stowaway in their van whom they assumed was an illegal immigrant turned out to be an important businessman who had been trapped in the back. To add to the Trotters' problems, they about to be kicked out of Nelson Mandela House, as they still owe Inland Revenue and have no hope of paying their debt in time. Then Cassandra goes into labour, and Rodney discovers that his father is not who he thought he was.

I thought this was a rather touching end to such a long running well loved programme! People may disagree but the characters have grown up and been through so much together on screen that I thought the episode paid tribute to that!
I for one will sorely mis Only Fools and Horses now! But by buying this I will have the last part in the jigsaw!
Thank you all OFAH Characters/Writers/Producers etc for writing a great end to a great legendery programme!

Only fools has to be the longest running sitcom in the UK; 22 years in the making! After the trilogy ending with the Trotters becoming millionaires in 1996 many people though that would be the end, but due to popular demand they came back for one final outing. Many people have criticised the final three episodes, which i think is unfair. Both Buster and Kenneth past away after the millionaire episodes, so i personally think it was very brave of John Sullivan to bring it back with two main cast members missing and to take away the millions. I believe the episodes should have been shown together over one Christmas as the intended Trilogy, instead of the BBC splitting it over three Christmas years just to grab the guaranteed ratings for three years in a row. When watched together the final three episodes make a funny and poignant ending to the sitcom. I agree with many people that the episode is not a funny as previous episodes, but that wasn't really the point of the episode. The episode closed a few loose ends, rounded off the story very nicely, explained some missing parts of the story and has paved the way for the sequal stories that John Sullivan is working on.
This episode has (is) a wonderful ending for the Trotters. I would like to thank John Sullivan for the Trotters and 22 years of VERY funny moments; it has been a part of my life, from a child to a man, and always will be. As voted for this year, Only fools IS the number one Sitcom in the UK! Only fools has been a part of so many peoples lives for so long, it will be sorely missed, especially at Christmas.
My only criticism for the DVD, that why it doesn't get 5 stars, would be the usual for ALL only fools DVDs. WHERE ARE THE BONUS FEATURES?

Great end to what is undoubtably Britain's Best Sitcom and a show which is very worthy of that prostigous title it won earlier this year. We've seen Del and Rodney grow over the years from those two likely lads to mature family men married (well married and a significant other in Del's case) and now both with kids. It was quite something to learn after all these years of suggestions that Del and Rodney might have different dads it turns out that they really did. It's sad to see the Trotters go but we mustn't forget that John Sullivan has said he never says never and he's brought them back before. Who knows? Personally I'm going to hope that this is not goodbye to Del Boy and Rodders but merely... Bonjour.

I can't understand why so many people criticise this final episode so much. I know there are a few dodgy moments but overall this is a very emotional and funny episode, especially the last half hour. For me it's the perfect end to the series, all loose ends are tied up and everyone is happy, healthy and wealthy.

Brilliant as usual - recommend you buy the box set which contains the full series and Christmas Specials - it's fantastic!

It looks as though the Trotters are about to be evicted from their flat, and just as Cassandra is soon to give birth. So Del and Rodney set about various money-making schemes, such as Rodney attempting to write a new thriller. Meanwhile, Marlene goes missing (just after Boycie takes out a huge life insurance on her), and a photograph from an old 1960s trip to Margate shows more than just the series' regulars with silly haircuts. As with 'Strangers on the Shore', this is an example of the series back to its very best after the train-wreck 'If They Could See Us Now'. The combination of humour (the chopsticks scene is a classic Trigger moment)and the occasional darker moment work well and it's a fine way to round off the series.

Good, but not great, and completely unnecessary.
There's 2 big problems with this episode. First of all is it's length. It's clear that the writers didn't know what to do with the characters for 70 minutes. Read more

Fitting Ending.
The comedy series of last centuary of the last millenium, the depth and sheer scope of the characters mind boggoling, the script writing a "touch of glass" (excuse the pun). Read more
