Del Boy back in Only Fools and Horses prequel

Del Boy is coming back to our screens in a new show set in 1960 written by Only Fools And Horses creator John Sullivan. The one-off 90-minute BBC comedy Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Chips, will feature the much-loved sitcom character Derek Trotter as a teenager in south London. None of the original cast are expected to feature in the show but fans of Only Fools And Horses will recognise some of the settings, including the Nag's Head.

Mr Sullivan said: "Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Chips will be set in the real 60s, before The Beatles and Mary Quant made London the coolest place on the planet. "The drama will feature South London at its least glamorous, where money was scarce, the staple diet was rock salmon and chips, and the flicks offer the only hint of glamour. "And it will give us a bit of an insight into why Del and Rodney turned out they way they did."

The show will feature Del's mother Joan – 'Peckham's answer to Brigitte Bardot' – and his father Reg, with the plot focusing on the reappearance of safe-cracker Freddie Robdal after a ten-year spell in prison.

a prequel to only fools and horses is a good idea. i hope it will include a teenage version of bent copper roy slater to show how he came to hate del boy so much.
