On top of that, Grandad's allotment has become a health hazard and he has to clear it. While clearing the allotment Del discovers several barrels of yellow liquid.

Finding themselves on a rare boys night out, they dress up as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party held for a local publican. En route, they prevent Councillor Murray from being mugged.

About this show

Britain's best-loved comedy follows the dodgy deals and money making schemes of the quarrelsome Trotter family. From their high-rise council flat in South London, two brothers - Del-Boy, a crafty, confident wheeler dealer, and the lanky, eternal 'plonker' Rodney - are forever chasing that big business deal that will allow them to escape the grim realities of Nelson Mandela House and live the life of luxury. They remain endearingly undeterred as they duck and weave through setbacks and failures, spurred on by Del-Boy's cheerful cries of 'This time next year, we'll be millionaires!'

Firstly brilliant comedy !! If I was rating purely the comedy it would be five stars, however there are 1 or 2 issues. Firstly if like to say what you get here is the dvd release with a little more (so it's closer to how it was on tv) its possibly the closest release to date. The problem is occasionally people will talk over people. A good example is in Miami twice part 2. There is someone talking over the scene, I think it was 2 scenes overlapping by mistake. Only for about 2 seconds tho

One star is not in relation to the show it is a must have comedy classic every episode is a laugh a minute in it's original form but not in this re-edited format as it is missing many crucial funny scenes including copyrighted music so the BBC edited it out so they didn't have to pay the performing rights society royalties so i will never buy the digital version or any of the box sets because of this re-editing that was done to this show series 1 to 7 are uncut the rest are not fit for purpose.

You cannot beat the antics of the trotter family and friends to make you laugh one minute and then with the next line have you close to tears. John sullivan's excellent writing larger than life characters, spot on observational humour and one liners plus David Jasons Derek Trotter will have you watching again and again.
