Every moment of Britain’s best-loved comedy series is now available in one complete collection! Crafty cockney con man Derek “Del-Boy” Trotter (Sir David Jason, A Touch of Frost) dreams of making a fortune, but each dodgy deal and shady scheme always seems to end in disaster. And then there’s his family to look after—lovable but hapless kid brother Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst, Butterflies), doddery old Granddad (Lennard Pearce, Bless Me Father) and long-winded ex-seafarer Uncle Albert (Buster Merryfield, Strangers & Brothers), all living together in a not-so-posh flat in the Nelson Mandela Houses.

Each episode of this hilarious BAFTA® Award-winning series—including the Christmas Specials—is here on 18 DVDs, along with such extras as The Peckham Concise Trotter Dictionary, The Story of Only Fools and Horses, cast bios and photo galleries.

His father-in-law, Alan, has given him an idea of how to win back Cassandra – welcome her back from Spain with a romantic evening in the bridal suite of an exclusive airport hotel. It might have worked if it were not for his brother, who unwittingly causes chaos at Gatwick when he tries to replace Boycie's stolen satellite dish.

The Chance of a Lunchtime - Del’s latest moneyspinner (he hopes) are 1,000 musical doorbells which play the National Anthem. Unfortunately 'Long Live Swaziland' is not likely to go down too well in Peckham – even with Rodney to help shift them in the market (the plonker has lost his job).

The number of assailants increase with every telling, as does his bravery (he was a boxing champion in the navy) – until the embarrassing truth finally emerges.

Three Men, a Woman and a Baby - Is it his sudden vegetarianism or another row with Cassandra that is making Rodney look so wan these days? Del despairs of his brother but has other things on his mind right now what with a job lot of syrups (men’s wigs) to sell down The Nags Head and the baby due any day now. He thinks Damien is a nice name. For Rodney, it is an omen.

1990 Christmas Special - Rodney Come Home - Rodney seems to have it all: a beautiful wife, a cushy job in his father-in-law’s printing company, and a lovely home. You’d think he’d be happy…Del, on the other hand has never been happier. Raquel has moved into Rodney’s old room, but he has high hopes of persuading her into his own room before too long.

Del organises a holiday for the Trotter clan, knowing full well that Cassandra will not be able to make it.

Rodney is concerned that Del has lost his drive. When confronted, Del tells him that the Council have approved his application to buy the flat in Nelson Mandela House, doubling the rent. On top of that, Grandad's allotment has become a health hazard. While clearing the allotment, Del discovers several barrels of yellow liquid. It looks dodgy, so he enlists Trigger and Denzil's help to dispose of it under cover of darkness. The Trotters' money problems are solved when Del comes up with a scheme to bottle tap water and sell it as Peckham Spring Water - it's only repackaging it, after all. It's a great success and both couples can finally enjoy an evening out at last - until they see a newsflash about a chemical leak in the local reservoir, caused by the discarded barrels.

Fatal Extraction - Del is determined to escape from the pipe-and-slippers atmosphere of Nelson Mandela House and put in some serious drinking time. But will Raquel let him?

Heroes and Villains - Del has bought 150 Latvian radio alarm clocks that go off whenever they like, 200 aerodynamic cycling helmets that turn out to be painted horse-riding helmets, and a box of baseball caps that even East 17 fans wouldn't wear.
To add to his woes, his application for a home improvement grant for new kitchen units has been rejected.
Rodney's fertility schedule is wearing him down. Such is Cassandra's need to have a baby; he buys her a rabbit to care for until a little one arrives. For his birthday, Del has bought him a cheap gold bracelet inscribed ‘Rooney' by a dyslexic engraver.
Meanwhile, Raquel has made contact with her parents and arranges a weekend visit with Damien. With Cassandra also away, Del convinces
Rodney to go to the publican's fancy dress ball - dressed as Batman and Robin. En route, they prevent Councillor Murray from being mugged.
They arrive at the party, to discover it's actually a wake, and that ‘fancy dress' meant ‘smart'.
The following day Del is awarded a bravery medal for tackling another mugger, and Cassandra has good news: she's pregnant.

Modern Men - Del is reading a book called ‘Modern Man'.
Despite being convinced he is the dictionary definition of debonair masculinity, the book is making him behave irrationally and rashly.
Rodney is concerned about this. Cassandra is expecting, and he wants more responsibility and a better job to provide for his family. He unwittingly replies for a job advertisement, posted by Del to alleviate Rodney's workload.
Del, meanwhile, has decided to take his manhood into his own hands and get a vasectomy. Doctor Singh is hounding him regarding dodgy paint, and the nightmare of him getting revenge on Del's crown jewels puts him off the idea.
Cassandra is rushed into hospital, suffering a miscarriage. Rodney breaks down, and it's Del who tells him he has to be strong for his wife. Del then blubs his eyes out, as Rodney supports his wife.

Time on our Hands - Rodney is bottling his emotions following the loss of his baby. Del, realising Cassandra needs his support, wants to help Rodney adjust. Raquel's estranged parents arrive for a meal, and to meet their daughter's new man. He does little to impress, and Uncle Albert mixes the coffee with the gravy by accident.
The next day, Raquel's father meets Rodney and Del as they clear their garage. Being an antiques dealer, he spots a long-lost 18th Century Harrison marine watch, which he recommends getting valued. When the watch is sold for auction at Sotherby's, the highest bid is for £6.2 million pounds.
After 16 years of poverty the Trotters finally make it rich!

If They Could See Us Know - It's been five years since Del and Rodney drove off into the sunset to the tune of £6.5 million. Now they're back and thanks to a dodgy South American investment, Trotters Independent Trading Company has been declared bankrupt and forced to move back to Nelson Mandela House. Before long their novel money-making schemes are in evidence again - Del's about to appear live on the game show ‘Goldrush' and Rodney has a plan to boost his and Cassandra's love life...

Strangers on the Shore - The end of an era as one of the most successful comedies in Britain comes to a close with the two final ever specials. Over the years, fans will have come to know the Trotters and their friends from Peckham as well as they know their own families. They have followed every up and down of their lives, including the death of Grandad, Rodney's wedding and the birth of Del's son, Damien. But the fun isn't quite over yet as there is a new addition to the Trotter family...

Sleepless in Peckham - Del, Rodney and Boycie are in jail in France for kidnapping. The stowaway in their van whom they assumed was an illegal immigrant turned out to be an important businessman who had been trapped in the back. To add to the Trotters' problems, they about to be kicked out of Nelson Mandela House, as they still owe Inland Revenue and have no hope of paying their debt in time. Then Cassandra goes into labour, and Rodney discovers that his father is not who he thought he was.
