Only Fools and Horses (Series 5)
Starring David Jason whom some of you would
be more familiar with from “A Touch of Frost”, Only Fools and Horses
series 5 is a fantastic comedy that will entertain and delight the
majority of viewers. Selling goods that are of both questionable quality
and origin, Jason is Dell, a fast talking little man surrounded by
people who let him down!
There are 6 episodes on this disc that have
a running time of 175 minutes in total. For those of you who are not
fond of British Comedy, give this a wide berth as it’s full of rhyming
slang and thick accents. For the rest of us however this is one that is
highly enjoyable.
Something that is worthy of mention here is
that at the end of Series 4 and leading into this one, the show become a
bit more of an interlinked serial experience where you were compelled to
watch one show then the other. The episode that I would say that this
occurred in would most likely by “Dates”. Have a watch of Season 4, it’s
interesting to see the transition.
Every episode on this disc is filled with
some side splitting laughter but for my money the fave on this disc is
The Miracle of Peckham and the attempts that Del makes to swindle media
into paying to film a “weeping” statue of the Virgin Mary. Trust me, if
you skip all the rest (and more fool you if you do), this one is a
keeper.
I can
say with confidence that this one is worth a buy, it’s good old
fashioned humour but told in a timeless way that anyone can enjoy. Give
it a shot. |
