Only Fools and Horses - The Complete Series 6

Product Description

Only Fools and Horses: Complete Series 6 (DVD)

Voted the best British sitcom of all time in a 2004 audience poll, Only Fools and Horses entered its sixth season with a number of changes -- a longer episode length, romance for Rodney and a new look for Del, who has recast himself wholeheartedly in the image of Gordon Gekko from the film Wall Street. Despite Rodney's move toward practicality in signing up for computer training, Trotter's Independent Traders (TIT for short) are still as active as ever in their hilarious pursuit of any scheme that might bring that elusive million to the brothers Trotter.

Amazon.com You'll need no incentive to watch Series 6 of Only Fools and Horses beyond the knowledge that the very first episode of the six herein is the one in which Del takes that legendary pratfall when leaning against a nonexistent bar counter. This is without doubt one of the greatest moments in British TV comedy. Other than that, what do we get? Well, this is the series in which Rodney first takes up with Cassandra. Gwyneth Strong's deftly underplayed, near-deadpan approach to the role of Rodney's soulmate is perhaps one of the most underrated elements in the show's entire run, even if the writers rather ran out of things to do with her almost at once. Ironically, then, despite her introduction, this isn't the strongest of Only Fools collections. Nevertheless, there are enough gems to remind you just why this show was such a success, among them the Spanish holiday episode in which Rodney has to pretend to be 14 and the propane-filled blow-up dolls episode, which really doesn't need a punchline. --Roger Thomas
