Written by John Sullivan, the wonderfully funny sitcom Only Fools and Horses, starring David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Buster Merryfield, John Challis, Roger Lloyd Pack, Lennard Pearce, Gwyneth Strong and Tessa Peake-Jones, was set in Peckham in London, but from 1988 many of its exterior scenes were filmed in the city of Bristol. A tower block named “Whitemead House” was used to film the exterior scenes of Del Boy and Rodney’s Peckham apartment block, Nelson Mandela House.

A National Favourite

Del Boy was notorious for dodgy dealings and for saying, “This time next year we’ll be millionaires”! The series was incredibly popular, was voted Britain’s Best Sitcom in 2004, and many families made a point of watching it together. If your television aerial didn’t receive a good, clear signal to watch Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert, Cassandra and Raquel get up to their latest hilarious shenanigans, you were in big trouble.
