Book Subtitle | The Story Of Britain's Favourite Comedy |
Book Description | In September 1981, BBC One screened the pilot episode of a British sitcom set in a block of council flats in Peckham, south London - 9 million people tuned in. In the 30 years since viewers first visited Nelson Mandela House, 'Only Fools and Horses' is still Britain's most-watched and best-loved sitcom. |
Editorial Review | This is a thoroughly-researched, breezily-written, affectionate and yet never dewy-eyed account of how a great TV series was put together. It stands as a worthy monument to its creator - Daily Mail |
