Amazon.co.uk Review
Only Fools and Horses is perhaps the last great and universally popular British sitcom. Series 4 reached 1985; Grandad has sadly passed on, to be replaced at Nelson Mandela House by Uncle Albert (Buster Merryfield). Only Fools and Horses improved with age and the fourth series was still confined to the half-hour format, is good but not vintage (that occurred during Delboy's "Yuppy" years). Episodes such as "It's Only Rock'n'Roll", in which Rodney joins a band, show all the failings sitcoms usually expose when getting to grips with such alien subject matter: the situations have yet to involve the full complement of the entire Nag's Head ensemble and there are still occasional disturbing racial references. However, Uncle Albert's introduction does bring the series up a notch, as his furtive brandy-swilling, yarn-spinning and doddery bungling swiftly get on Delboy and Rodney's wick (though he's not without some cleverly introduced pathos), while episodes such as "Watching the Girls Go By" and "As One Door Closes" build effectively up to the sort of big, laugh-out-loud final twists that would become the series' trademark.

On the DVD: full screen, no special features, sadly, except scene selection. --David Stubbs

I have series 1-3 and 5 on video and now series 4 which this DVD is. Out of the 5 series this one is one of the best. It features the classic episodes where they boys look after Boycies dog for a while and Uncle Albert gets frisky. Also the episode where they chase after a rare butterfly and Rodney has to get in the pond after it. Yep theres plenty of rib ticklers in this series and to say theres no features then someones telling you porkies Rodney. Why, well the episodes are chaptered and you can go straight to you favorite scenes. But other than that theres nowt else. So please BBC give us some out-takes etc and other stuff.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This is classic British comedy that will always make you laugh. However I am getting increasingly upset about the lack of extras included on the disc. The "Father Ted" DVD shows us that we can even have an audio commentry included in a sit-com. It must be seen as a warning to people who buy this DVD that you are only getting a video quality picture, just one thats more durable than standard VHS. Still, all in all, a great DVD due more to the basic content than any extras and still a worthy purchase for any die hard fans.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I have recently watched the episodes Mother Nature's Son and Time On Our Hands about 3 times each that I had previously bought on VHS and am still wanting to watch them. The later series are best but this DVD is brilliant value. As always, all the episodes are great but the best has to be 'Friday the 14th'. Perfectly written by John Sullivan and supurbly acted by David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst with Lennard Pearce as Grandad. Pure genius.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
