I actually found Only Fools and Horses to be a slight bit overrated. Sometimes scenes went on too long and it was a bit talky.
Many popular sitcoms have at sometime or another acquired a spin-off, which more often than not is deemed inferior to the original. Everyone has heard of 'On The Buses' but how many people remember 'Don't Drink The Water'?
After the final three episodes of Only Fools And Horses when it was revived in 2001 gained a less than positive response from the press it was a surprise to see that the show's very talented writer John Sullivan had this spin off featuring much loved characters Boycie and Marlene up his sleeve.It ends up being a nice surprise.
Challis isnt funny... in only fools he was a support to the trotters...
This show is not the funniest British comedy but it is certainly not one of the worst around. I actually laughed and look forward to it.
Only Fools and Horses lost its way years ago - so I wasn't surprised to discover that this series was a steaming pile of horse manure. How anyone can find this amusing is beyond me.
I was very surprised and somewhat shocked when I heard that there was to be a follow-up to Only fools and horses, and the last characters that I imagined would have one was the Boyce's.I watched the first episode not expecting anything at all from it, but it wasn't that bad so I decided to give it a fair trial, and saw a few more.
Whenever a hit sitcom appears, there will always be a spin-off. Sometimes more than one.
