Only Fools And Horses - To Hull And Back (DVD)

Having not been on our screens for the four years now, finally ending in 2003, Only Fools and Horses is still a legend and will continue to attract new younger viewers on the like of UK Gold in years to come. "To Hull and Back" first screen as the Christmas special in 1985 has got to be one of the best episodes that John Sullivan has ever written.
