Only Fools and Horses - The Christmas Trilogy [DVD]

...value for money wise it's not a very good deal in relation to the OFAH box set (or any box set?) considering the total run time for the three specials combined is only 174 minutes?So I dropped it a star rating not for the content but for the value.

What more can be said about possibly the best British TV comedy show ever? This trilogy marked the end of truly great Britcom's and frankly, nothing out of Britain since has come close to the quality and sheer hilarity that Only Fools And Horses supplied us with. Modern offerings like the awful Gavin and Stacey make me yearn for the days when Britain turned out brilliant characters like Del Boy, Rodney, Albert, Boycie and Trigger.These three episodes provided a fitting end to the struggles of the Trotter family, and encompassed everything that made the show great. There is laughter, and loads of it (the Batman And Robin scene in 'Heroes And Villains' from start to finish is pure comedy genius, as is the scene in 'Modern Men' where Rodney unwittingly telephones Del to apply for his own job in response to an anonymous ad Del has placed in the Peckham Echo), there are tears (especially when Cassandra miscarries), and there are those poignant moments when the humanity of the characters come out and move you (Del re-visiting the flat and reminiscing). Any fan of good comedy will love these episodes, and any fan of the show will cherish them.The show really should've ended with this trilogy, rather than being revived again to see the Trotters lose their fortune. That, however, is a discussion for another day.

This Only Fools And Horses Christmas box set is great entertainment and classic comedy at its best. Well recommended for a belly full of laughs!

Bought as an xmas gift and it was gratefully received, alot of fun

Got this dvd boxset because you can never get enough of del n rodders, anyone who wants to have a bit of light hearted comedy in their collection definitely need to buy this, I have watched the whole collection so many times but no matter how much you watch them their still as funny as the 1st time. This collection has it all from the Batman and Robin episode to when they become millionaires. If you love Delboy n co buy it.

It never gets old.Excellent!

I am British although have lived overseas for the past 25 years and now live in Indonesia so I missed to watch many of the Only Fools and Horses series, I also now suffer from Alzheimer’s and watching theses DVDs has bought back many happy memories that I would recommend to any other British person who has any type of dementia..
