Product Information

Brand Spanking New From Reputable UK Company With 30 Years Experience In Retail, Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped. there’s no foul language in this scene, no racial comments, it’s a crime that scene got cut, all because a singer is on stage due to music rights. Finally, in 'The Jolly Boys' Outing' (1989) Del, Rodney, Uncle Albert, Trigger (Roger Lloyd-Pack) and Boycie embark on their annual outing to Margate, but end up stranded when their coach explodes. Wow, it’s like day and night compared to everything else that’s out there such as dvd and streaming.

The fact the BBC couldn’t pay for the rights to play the original background music within scenes is criminal, they must have made millions from the Only Fools franchise. Along with John, some additional comments from David Jason and Nick Lyndhurst would always go down well. Thoroughly enjoyed it anyways, I’ve been watching this show since I was a kid but haven’t followed it religiously, especially as far as home video is concerned with all the cuts and whatnot.

There were huge problems in the 60s when they simply wiped all the tapes of so many classic TV shows.When grandad went upstairs to hammer the bolt of the chandelier through with a hammer, he had to take a few retakes as he manged to miss the bolt with his hammer.

In 'Dates' (1988) The Trotters take a few days off because, for a change, the business is doing rather well. If they have the first generation tapes that were made before editing, that would be an improvement.The box set contains the 1985 episode To Hull And Back, 1986's A Royal Flush, 1987 special The Frog's Legacy, Dates - first seen in 1988 and The Jolly Boys' Outing, which was originally transmitted on Christmas day in 1989. So while the exteriors would kinda benefit from the resolution, you can’t do anything about the PAL video. If they could see us now had a brilliant scene with Del in an office pressing the wrong buttons on a printer. Ah well, at least it’s not Get Back levels of ****ery, that makes this look like a purely filmic delight in comparison. But things are never that simple, and the boys soon find that they have Chief Inspector Slater (Jim Broadbent) hot on their trail, making their passage to mainland Europe very difficult indeed.

I’ve heard rumors that John has already provided a commentry for many of the episodes, filling in little mishaps, reasons for certain direction, where the casting came from, and why, locations, just everything that a fools fan would dream of from the main man. It’s most definitely NOT some wax-faced disaster but it’s still had a bit too much processing applied, this mightn’t be Jonathan Wood’s work but that stigma of 16mm being too grainy still persists.
