STUDIO PRODUCTION: ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES (RESEARCH)


On'y Fools and Horses is a British Sitcom which was loved across the UK. The show went from 1981 right through until 2003 and is classed as one of the most classic forms of British Television. The sitcom focuses on 2 market traders Derek (Del Boy) and Rodney Trotter. Set is Peckham in South London, the show brings out funny and witty characters who also live around Peckham but follows the funny adventures of Del and Rodney. The majority of the sitcom takes place in either Del and Rodney's council flat or in their local pub 'The Nags Head'. Both of which are filmed inside studios but the show does also go out on locations if the episode needs to show the market or a new location.

The show's main characters were Del and Rodney, played by David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, and also their Granddad, played by Lennard Pearce for 3 seasons until he sadly past away in 1984, so in 1985 when season 4 was released, a new character was introduced which was Del and Rodney's Great Uncle Albert, played by Buster Merryfield. With both Granddad and Uncle Albert's different series, the show follows the highs and lows of the Trotters as they try to get rich.
