Only Fools and Horses - The Complete Series 6 [1989]

Amazon.co.uk Review 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 non-existent 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. On the DVD: Only Fools and Horses, Series 6 two-disc set is presented in standard TV 4:3 ratio, with no special features--unless you count the injunctions on each disc's menu to insert the other disc if you want to watch the other episodes, "... you plonker!". --Roger Thomas Product Description The entire sixth series of John Sullivan's Peckham-based comedy. In 'Yuppy Love', Del attempts to turn himself into a yuppy, while Rodney finds true love (this episode contains the famous 'falling through the bar' scene - voted one of television's top ten moments). 'Danger UXD' sees Del's newly acquired consignment of dolls not turning out to be quite what he expected, while in 'Chain Gang' the Trotters and chums are taken in by a cunning con man. 'The Unlucky Winner is...' sees Del, Cassandra and Rodney winning a holiday in the Mediterranean - the only snag being that Rodney must pretend to be fourteen years old! In 'Sickness and Wealth', Del becomes concerned that he may not have long for this world when he ends up in hospital. Finally, 'Little Problems' sees the arrangements for Rodney and Cassandra's impending marriage going awry when Del ends up in debt to the Driscoll brothers.
