Only Fools and horses Prequel.

I see they are setting up a prequel to this showing the Trotters as kids. Hardly be as good as the orginal but might be worth a watch.

Looking forward to it. Your lad from Inbetweeners plays Del Boy

Ok the only major flaw I see with that is it is not Only Fools and Horses and it is not a comedy. Why would you want to watch it then? It might be good but you won't know until you have seen it.

I quite enjoyed the show tonight, but I'm sure there'll be loads that didn't like it. It was light on the comedy and focused on tge relationship between Joanie Trotter and Freddie 'the frog' Robdall. Del Boy was featured, but more of a back story and showed how he started his wheelings and dealings.

Good show, but the one-off story was just right. Don't think it could have carried a full series.

I enjoyed the show as well Ziggy. There were only a few funny moments, not quite what I was expecting but I thought the show was well done.

i enjoyed it too, but like ziggy said, ther will be loads who will think its a pile of dung. You would have to be a fan of Only Fools to know what it was all about. I thought it might have carried on to either Joan or Freedie, or both, died.. But other than that it fitted in well. Even showed that trigger was obviously stupid all his life

No it won't let you, your best bet is 'surf the channel' it generally has every programme on it which you can then download and watch
