ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES

 
   

PROGRAM DESCRIPTON
Crafty Cockney confidence trickster Del Trotter does everything he can to make a fortune by endlessly pursuing his dodgy deals and shady schemes. But each and every one of his brilliantly ill-conceived plans seems to end in comic disaster.

This long running and enormously popular, award-winning series stars David Jason as Del and Nicholas Lyndhurst as his hapless kid brother, Rodney. Del is convinced that one day his schemes will make him a millionaire. Surely it's only a question of time -- if only he could make a couple of good deals down the market that would be just the break he needs. He faces constant setbacks, serious and comic failure, but despite it all he remains heroically undeterred.

At the same time he struggles against all the odds to support Rodney and Grandad. The three of them live together in a high-rise block of flats in Peckham, South London. The flat is not so much a home as an operational headquarters for Trotter's Independent Trading Co. The most hilariously incompatible of flatmates, their domestic life consists entirely of continuous and comical squabbling.
