Only Fools and Horses prequel, set in Peckham in 1960. The Trotters - led by put-upon cinema usherette Joan and her husband, the workshy Reg - are struggling to make ends meet, but enigmatic charmer Freddie `The Frog' Robdal offers them a way to turn their fortunes around. Meanwhile, teenager Del-Boy has made a friend down at the docks - and sets about trying to make a fast buck.
ffs give it a chance!
Only fools and horses was 'sh!t' when it first came out in 1981
My mates at school at the time said 'it's sh!t don't watch it'
years later halve the country was watching it.

is that girl playing mrs trotter, the bird that played "me julie" in ali G in da house?
Is that an older Rodney with a moustache?? This is confusing.
I'm finding it quite interesting. The Inbetweeners guy has put some effort into studying DelBoy's mannerisms IMO.
Yes it is "me julie". I remember her from T-bag and T-shirt....she could t-bag me etc
rodney#s dad is played by lyndhurst.
why was del boy saying "nice set of pins" to his mum and joiningin when they were all perving?

where does the bloke with Rodney's dad fit in?
Watching some OFAH epsisodes would help you understand the prequel imo

freddie the frog sat on a detonator and blew himself up. what a plonker
Which one is**? Lyndhurst will always be Rodney, moustache or not.
It is exactly what I expected it to be.
Lyndhurst is crap. v. odd the way del boy was perving on his mum

"have you got any toilet roll" that made me chuckle
I quite liked that. I'd like to think I could balls up a date like that!
another good line there from del boy "the gran" taking the p.ss out of boycie
Phil Daniels is starting to look like the Curious Orange.

she is beginning to look old actually, shame, cos she was very pretty in ali g in da house, i wonder how many years ago that was directed?

didn'it bother with this..is it any good? is it a one off? or series?
Are there going to be any more 'Goodnight Sweethearts' in the future ?

I'll probably get slated for this, but I hope so.
I actually found that quite humourous. A very original concept, and I loved the way he used to palm the beatles songs off as his own :)

This hasn't been all bad imo. a few funny moments

The young Delboy lad was on Soccer AM and said it's not meant to be an all-out comedy like OFAH.
Not that bad actually ,OK it's not really funny but i dont think its meant to be really.
Does anyone remember Kellie Bright from the sitcom The Upper Hand? I was only about 15 but used to fancy the mum Caroline like mad!.
My hormones were outrageous back then. Even the gran played by Honor Blackman were'nt safe :D

i think this programmes not too bad tbh. don't like watching women give birth though, hate that.
yep i do treble. think i preferred honor blackman to the mum.
I LOVED IT ,AND HEARD RECORDS IN BACKROUND THAT BROUGHT MEMORIES BACK,REALLY ENJOYED IT
Really enjoyed it. Full marks to John Sullivan.
I loved it. Very well written.
And fancied Kellie Bright like mad!

Liked it a lot. Started off a bit shakey but got into its stride. Those that switched off after half an hour missed out.
quality show, very hard to do well, think they did a good job
I thought Dels' mum looked like the alcoholic Irish bird off Waterloo Road. Wasn;t her though.
lol@ heartbeat ,yes those moorland scenes and whitby in the 60s
Heartbeat...a good comparison...not a bad watch 7/10
Only Fools and Heartbeat imo
Quite a strong cast but..Lyndhurst playing a hardman?? ffs what next Ted Bovis does King Lear?

Loads of continuity errors
Eclipse and Groom was never on display in Peckham town hall.

Not sure if Robdul was meant to be a hard man on second thoughts ... seemed to have a cultural/intelligent/sensitive side ... the link to Rodney
i said that first big guru, perhaps not on this thread
actually, I did say it on this thread, earlier on
I thought as well that Del was supposed to be about 12 when Rodney was born?
Nevermind about the errors, it was well done and at least it didn't end up like the Green green grass, which was truly awful

i didnt know that bill maynard did a heart beat spin off
green green grass , never saw that one

Have sky plussed it, will watch later..encouraged by the reviews on here!
yep thumbs up. Sullivan had to do something like this esp with all the references made in the series's of back to the 60s.
Lousy script,stuttering narrative,no humour. Apart from that its was absolute carp
Dan, ignore Dobbo, it was definitely worth watching. It wasn't written as a comedy.
the grumpy old men seething because it was OK. NOT LIKE IT WAS IN MY DAY!
After a slow start , got better so I ended up enjoying it
Thought it would have been a nice touch to show the Jolly Boys posing for the photo which,years later,made Rodders realise who his father actually was.
it failed as a drama and not funny enough for a comedy............a rather generous 2\10
The sad thing is Dels mum was the best part of the show, and we sadly, all know what happens to her...
i enjoyed it i have to say, i would have liked to see more about joan getting all the paper work fred needed to pull off his crime that was mentioned in the frog's legacy, the sub plot with the cinema manager was awful and totally unnecessary and a bit cringe worthy, but it wasn't bad, and the lad playing del was very good
i wondered if we might see a re-write of history with
dels mum doing a reggie perrin with freddie robdahl

As a prequel to the most successful sit-com ever, difficult to do i would imagine. But it was ok. Not perfect - but very enjoyable.
It's a pity something like this wasn't done years ago ,i'm currently watching OFAH at the minute and last nights offering adds a new dimension to the series .
Pity Trigger and Boycee didnt get more of a showing last night .... there could have been some funny one liners
Trigger : "There used to be a Trigger in my street".
Del Boy : "Yeah, that was you ! "
....now that was a bit lame....
Del Boy : "Yeah, that was you ! "
....now that was a bit lame....
agree with ya there leopard, the young trigger was annoying last night, and ya couldn't picture roger lyod pack saying any of those lines,
I thought it was very good, reminded me of my childhood.
could there be one more only fools and horses being discussed for production ?
guess it could happen, many of the main charcacters still with us ?

can anyone explain why del boy was perving at his mum, especially at the cinema when he was saying "nice pins" etc with his mates?
seemed very odd to me - was this common in sixties london?
