Lovely jubbly! This is one hell of a treat for fans of The Trotters.

Only Fools and Horses The Musical is a heart-warming homage to a national institution, showing so much affection for the characters that it could only have been created by those who truly loved Del Boy and Rodney.

That famous yellow Reliant Regal three-wheeler van, emblazoned with the logo of Trotters Independent Traders, has hit the road for its first UK tour and it's going down an absolute storm.

It's the first time I've seen an audience burst into spontaneous applause before the show even started and that enthusiasm didn't dwindle for a moment.

A smash hit in the West End, Only Fools and Horses takes us on a wonderful trip down memory lane to 1980s Peckham where love is in the air for Rodders and Cassandra and Del and Raquel.

Sam Lupton and Tom Major are perfectly cast as the unlikely brothers with all the right mannerisms, interesting fashion choices and catchphrases.

Written by Whitehouse with Chas Hodges of Chas and Dave fame, Where Have All The Cockneys Gone? takes a tongue in cheek look at the gentrification of Peckham.

Reeling off all the places to which Londoners have moved, he quickly segues into 'Any Old Iron' in a celebration of all things cockney.

The irony that, had they stayed on in Peckham into 2025 The Trotters probably would be millionaires by now, was not lost on the creators who used the clever moving backdrop to fly a drone over the modern day city.

Every element of the show has been carefully considered - from Del Boy's French catchphrases and cocktails to Trigger's everlasting brush - and it's nostalgic perfection. 

Demand has been extremely high for tickets with this week’s performances pretty much sold out.
