![Only Fools and Horses - The Christmas Trilogy [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51QFC5W9MFL.jpg)
3-disc set containing all three parts of the 1996 Only Fools and Horses Christmas trilogy: Heroes and Villains, Modern Men and Time On Our Hands. Heroes and Villains No income tax, no VAT and certainly no guarantee of anything but laughs as Del and Rodders hit the high-rise world of inner-city dealing. Trotters Independent Traders Company (TITCO) remains commercially unviable. Del is stuck with 125 unpredictable Latvian radio alarms, the council have rejected his home improvement grant application and Rodders is on a sex programme that would leave Roger Rabbit knackered. But when our fancy-dressed caped crusaders turn street vigilantes, they find being on the right side of the law has its own rewards. Modern Men Little Damien is growing up fast but little else has changed in Mandela Towers as Del Boy, Rodders and Uncle Albert continue to lurch from one disaster to another. Del considers the snip (and regrets flogging Doctor Singh that dodgy paint) and, with the help of a new mans manual, is learning to give attention to Raquel if only shed stop talking while hes trying to read. Meanwhile father-to-be Rodders, "accustomed to the security of an irregular wage", is applying for a new job. Can the Trotter business empire survive without him? Time On Our Hands After 16 years of selling knock-off down the market, Britains best-loved neer-do-wells make it good in an episode that pulled in a record 24.1 million viewers. Raquels parents are coming to lunch so Del pulls out all the stops if only Uncle Albert knew the difference between coffee and gravy granules. The next morning, Rodders stock-take reveals Trotters Independent Traders Companys assets as an artificial leg, some Showaddywaddy LPs and a broken watch. But Raquels father knows a bit about antiques and spots something that will change their lives forever. Could it really be that "this time next week" theyll be millionaires?

Three Christmas specials well worth having, however...
...value for money wise it's not a very good deal in relation to the OFAH box set (or any box set?) considering the total run time for the three specials combined is only 174 minutes?So I dropped it a star rating not for the content but for the value.

Brilliant, hilarious, timeless...
What more can be said about possibly the best British TV comedy show ever? This trilogy marked the end of truly great Britcom's and frankly, nothing out of Britain since has come close to the quality and sheer hilarity that Only Fools And Horses supplied us with. Modern offerings like the awful Gavin and Stacey make me yearn for the days when Britain turned out brilliant characters like Del Boy, Rodney, Albert, Boycie and Trigger.These three episodes provided a fitting end to the struggles of the Trotter family, and encompassed everything that made the show great. There is laughter, and loads of it (the Batman And Robin scene in 'Heroes And Villains' from start to finish is pure comedy genius, as is the scene in 'Modern Men' where Rodney unwittingly telephones Del to apply for his own job in response to an anonymous ad Del has placed in the Peckham Echo), there are tears (especially when Cassandra miscarries), and there are those poignant moments when the humanity of the characters come out and move you (Del re-visiting the flat and reminiscing). Any fan of good comedy will love these episodes, and any fan of the show will cherish them.The show really should've ended with this trilogy, rather than being revived again to see the Trotters lose their fortune. That, however, is a discussion for another day.

Got this dvd boxset because you can never get enough of del n rodders, anyone who wants to have a bit of light hearted comedy in their collection definitely need to buy this, I have watched the whole collection so many times but no matter how much you watch them their still as funny as the 1st time. This collection has it all from the Batman and Robin episode to when they become millionaires. If you love Delboy n co buy it.
