Only Fools and Horses: Complete Series 4-5 Plus Specials

One of the most popular and best-selling comedy series in British history revolves around cockney trickster Del Boy Trotter, who returns in Series 4 with dopey kid brother Rodney and new-to-the-scene Uncle Albert in their unending quest to make millions! Join the family Trotter with their get-rich-quick scheming and back-of-a-lorry sales pitch. The Rothschilds of Peckham, otherwise known as Trotter's Independent Traders (TIT for short) cause untold trouble - and countless laughs - in their bid to become millionaires. Following up the highly-acclaimed Series 1-3 DVD release, this 4-disc set contains the complete series 4-5 plus the 1985-88 Christmas specials To Hull and Back, A Royal Flush, The Frog's Legacy and Dates.

Crafty Cockney confidence trickster Del Trotter does everything he can to make a fortune by endlessly pursuing his dodgy deals and shady schemes. But each and every one of his brilliantly ill-conceived plans seems to end in comic disaster.

This long running and enormously popular, award-winning series stars David Jason as Del and Nicholas Lyndhurst as his hapless kid brother, Rodney. Del is convinced that one day his schemes will make him a millionaire. Surely it's only a question of time -- if only he could make a couple of good deals down the market that would be just the break he needs. He faces constant setbacks, serious and comic failure, but despite it all he remains heroically undeterred.

At the same time he struggles against all the odds to support Rodney and Grandad. The three of them live together in a high-rise block of flats in Peckham, South London. The flat is not so much a home as an operational headquarters for Trotter's Independent Trading Co. The most hilariously incompatible of flatmates, their domestic life consists entirely of continuous and comical squabbling.

Series 4
Happy Returns - Rodney's in love with Debbie from the news agents. Could this mean the end of his dirty magazine fetish? Trouble is she's only 19 and 19 ½ years ago Del was pretty friendly with her mum.

Strained Relations - After Granddad's funeral, Delboy & Rodney are surprised to find that his brother, Uncle Albert, has moved in with them - bringing his nautical nightmares.

Hole in One - The Trotters are potless so Uncle Albert comes to the rescue by having an 'accident' with the open cellar door of the Nag's Head.

It's Only Rock and Roll - Rodney is the drumless drummer in Mental Mickey's band, 'A Bunch Of Wallies'. Delboy takes on the job of manager, getting them an abortive St. Paddy's night gig at The Shamrock Club.

Sleeping Dogs Lie - Del's on to a great money making scheme - looking after Boycie and Marlene's new puppy Dukie for a steal at GBP60 a week. Then Dukie falls victim to Salmonella poisoning.

Watching the Girls Go By - Del sets Rodney up with a date, but when she gets to the do at the Nag's Head she makes Rodney wish he hadn't agreed.

As One door Closes - When Delboy's hooky 'louvry' door deal, financed with Denzil's redundancy money, falls through, the boys attempt to repay him by catching a rare butterfly.

Series 5
From Prussia with Love - When a German damsel turns up in the Nag's Head she's definitely in distress - and nine months pregnant at that. Rodney's all beer and sympathy but Del's got an idea. Could this be the answer to Boycie and Marlene's dreams of a child?

The Miracle of Peckham - Delboy gets religion (or is he just on the make?) when the Madonna at the local church is seen to shed tears. But why does she only cry when it's raining and where did that lead in Del's garage come from?

The Longest Night - A burglar makes a daring raid on the local supermarket just as Del and family are out buying their weekly French stick. What's worse, Del sold him a bum watch down the local market.

Tea for Three - Del's tampered with the sun bed controls and Rodney's seeing red - literally! His face is done to a turn. He'll hardly wow Trigger's niece, Lisa, with his handsome good looks now, which leaves the way pretty clear for Del himself.

Video Nasty - Rodney has received a £10,000 grant from the arts council to produce a video. He sets about to script the production, but Del has designs on the video gear. And Mickey knows a bird who is willing to start in his own production: Night Nurse.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire? - Delboy gets the chance to make a new start (and to become a millionaire) in Australia - fronting Jumbo Mill's used car business.

1986 Christmas Special
A Royal Flush - When Del finds out that Rodney is dating the daughter of a duke, he starts making plans for the wedding of the year. It seems that romance may be in the cards...but leave it up to Del to fix that.
