Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There are not many good books about sit-coms that can boast an introduction by so grand a figure as Sir Anthony Hopkins, but Only Fools and Horses has always been a bit special. The wheeling-dealing Trotter family with their yellow three-wheeler, their "lovely-jubbly", and their rollercoaster emotional and commercial exploits became national treasures. "At its worst it is excellent, at its best brilliant", writes Ronnie Barker of the show, which explains why more than 24 million people watched the final episode when Rodney and Del Boy eventually did become millionaires.

Steve Clark's book gives an insight into the people who made it all possible; its writer and curator John Sullivan and the marvellous acting talents of David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst. It provides a guide to every episode and a few glimpses at some of the real-life inspirations for the characters, but mostly this book conjures the warm atmosphere of a terrific show that now only exists in repeats. No more revolting cocktails, no more bad French, no more "you plonker". But don't be too sad, this book gives all the words to "Hookey Street", so all together now, "We've got some half-priced cracked ice..."- -Nick Wroe

Synopsis
Twenty-five million viewers watched the swansong of "Only Fools and Horse"s on BBC1 over Christmas 1996, breaking the BBC's previous audience records. This work is an affectionate tribute to the much-loved show, covering all aspects of its amazing 16-year run, from casting to filming, with in-depth interviews with the stars and a complete episode guide. As well as back-stage facts and anecdotes, this book captures the spirit of survival in the face of adversity and inimitable humour which characterized the series and marked it out as a comedy classic.
