Since Only Fools and Horses was first broadcast in 1981, it has won over legions of fans both in the UK and overseas and is considered by many to be Britain’s best sit-com. Written by John Sullivan, Only Fools and Horses was set in Peckham in South East London. However, the show was never filmed there, instead being filmed primarily in West London and Bristol in the West of England.
From the late 1980s and particularly the 1990s, the show was made in Bristol until it ended in 2003 and it is here in Bristol where you will be taken to scenes that have become iconic in the history of British comedy.
Your guide, who is also a fan of the show, will take you to outdoor locations around Bristol to give you a behind-the-scenes take on how the show was filmed, while sharing information about the characters, such as Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert, Trigger, Boycie and Marlene and the fantastic scripts written by John Sullivan.
