Only Fools and Horses is a British sitcom created and written by John Sullivan and broadcast on BBC One. Seven series were broadcast between 1981 and 1991, followed by sporadic Christmas specials until 2003. The show centres on the lives of the Trotters, a working-class family of market traders who live in Peckham, London. Headed by Del Boy, his younger brother Rodney and their elderly Grandad (and later their Uncle Albert), the series shows their highs and lows in life as they strive to become millionaires through a variety of get-rich-quick schemes. The show achieved consistently high ratings, including a record 24.3 million viewers for the 1996 episode "Time on Our Hands", and was named Britain's Best Sitcom in a 2004 BBC poll.
