Synopsis:
The complete first series of one of the greatest BBC comedy series ever made. See where it all started for Del-Boy, Rodney and Grandad.

Big Brother
Del`s confident at last he`s on to a winner with Trigger`s consignment of Old English vinyl briefcases. How can his brother Rodney even think of abandoning the high flying world of trading for a real job?

Go West Young Man
Rodney`s depressed. His mate Mickey Pearce has moved in on his bird - Monica of the fat thighs - and life isn`t exactly a social whirl. Del has the solution - they`ll all be millionaires in a year - cue his smooth friend Boycie and a very dodgy deal...

Cash And Curry
Del`s swooping in on a deal of a lifetime - it could keep them in pilau rice forever. All he has to do is get hold of a poxy statue... trouble is, he hasn`t reckoned on a touch of gang warfare...

The Second Time Around
Del`s rekindled passion with an old flame Pauline, and it looks like wedding bells are in the air again. Rodney`s not so thrilled after what happened to her first two husbands.

A Slow Bus To Chingford
Del has a dream: The Trotter corporate skyscraper, rising majestically against the Peckham skyline. It`s time for the latest moneymaking scam, Trotters Ethnic Tours...

The Russians Are Coming
The threat of nuclear war looms over Peckham. What will become of the Nag`s Head if the Russians attack? One thing`s guaranteed, the Trotters will be sitting pretty in their DIY shelter.

Christmas Crackers
It`s anthracite roast potatoes and green stuff all round - Grandad`s cooking dinner! Trouble is, Rodney`s in danger of dying of boredom. Then the glittering attractions of the Monte Carlo Club beckon...

Your Opinions and Comments

5 / 10
The only fools and horses series1 is a good value for money you get over 200 mins of classic comedy.And you can find out where it all started I personly think this is the best series.It is presented in the ratio of 4:3 but it only has a mono sound track when they could have made it into a stereo.the lack of extras are another bad point because the are none exept for subtitles .I think they could have come up with some.this brings the whole package down.the pitcher is o.k for an onringlytv progam but the could have cleaded the pitcher up a bit.
