Rock & Chips – The Frog and The Pussycat – Episode 3 – BBC1 9 pm this Thursday 28th April
Yes that’s right another episode of Rock & Chips is Due to air on 24th April, on BBC1 and BBC1 HD, Make sure to tune in. There is a plot summary below taken from Wikipedia.
It is the year 1961, and Joan longs for a new life. Del also has new aspirations – to become a movie producer. If only he could find the finance. Maybe his latest squeeze might persuade her father to invest… that would provide the answer to both of their problems.
It does sound like It’s going to be a interesting episode. I do hope they decide to carry Rock & Chips. There is many things we want to see for example, the time when Del sends Rodney out with Chicken Pots to sell Gas Conversion Kits and we learn from Rodney in Yuppy Love that the Estate was all electric, It would be amazing and hilarious to see this in a Rock & Chips episode. What I’m trying to say really is that i really want this to carry on and be successful i want to see Rodney and Del grow up and see times like when their Dad left them and their mom died. It would be really awesome also to see when Freddy sat on the detonator “WHAT A PLONKER!”. I just really want to see these moments on screen and hopefully we will!
Also like I’ve said in a previous article, I’d love a Christmas Special of Only Fools And Horses this Year. It would be great to see them all in action again in Peckham. The plot of the episode could be some sort of reunion party at the Nags Head or something?
Discuss below, would you like to see more Rock & Chips?!
Look out for the reference to Boycie’s Kings Avenue.
According to Jim Sullivan’s wiki page,he has written his own Sitcom so we may see it in the next couple of years, and he is also likely to continue with Rock & Chips!!

Yes Jim Sullivan has written at least five ‘Green green grass’episodes and for him to continue his fathers work must be the way forward. I think we can assume John must have written plot lines for the remaining episodes of rock and chips and most certainly his son would have been involved in the process. Fingers crossed!!! I am a huge ofah fan but I hated Green green grass with a passion as I did the ofah episodes after they became millionaires, Rock and Chips has been terrific and back to the true form…it must continue!!
sadly given the terrible ratings for last nights episode, i don’t think the BBC will be commissioning any more episodes. Coming third, being beaten in the ratings by both ITV and Channel 4 isn’t good at all.
BBC1 21:00- Rock and Chips: 3.37m (14.1%)
ITV1 21:00- Long Lost Family: 4.01m (16.8%)
Channel 4 21:00- Big Fat Royal Gypsy Weddings: 3.946m (16.5%)
I’d be amazed if John Sullivan hadn’t already written lots of Rock & Chips material before he sadly passed away as i heard it was always his intention to do more. There’s so many back stories that have been mentioned in OFAH that it would be a shame if we didn’t see them brought to the screen.
Such a brilliant episode its such a shame John Sullivan has passed, but this was a great final show. R.I.P John Sullivan
Sadly with John’s passing it looks like this will be the last installment of the OFAH legacy….no more Green Green Grass, no more Rock N Chips…and nothing new from the comic master….truly a sad time.
I know, It really does suck!
People have suggested other people write it and I was basically saying ‘What!?’ It wouldn’t be the same without John writing it, It wouldn’t have the same touch…
I’m dreading someone is going to attempt to get another writer and carry it on…:/
It really does make his passing all the more tragic. Rock and Chips was warming up to be every bit as loved and revered as OFAH. So let’s just sit back and enjoy this last ever piece of the OFAH Universe as we know and love it.
Please please please more Rock and Chips!!!
RIP John Sullivan

Please I really hope the Rock & Chips episode The Frog And The Pussycat is not going to be final episode because I think there are still lots more stores that need to be told about Rock & Chips in the near future.
Knowing about the very sad death of The Only Fools And Houses writer John Sullivan who died yesterday at the age of 64, If Rock & Chips was going to end because of John Sullivan’s death that would be very big shame because no one will never know about what would of happened in the story if it ended so soon.
Maybe John Sullivan’s son Jim Sullivan should take over from John Sullivan because dint he write The Green Green Grass?
If Jim Sullivan did write The Green Green Grass maybe he can be the new Rock & Chips writer and he write some more Rock & Chips episodes in the near future.
The news I’ve waited for!!! I am buzzing that there’s another installment on the way Zane. I am hoping that it’s the last one-off before the official season one of Rock and Chips hits our screens before Christmas. Wouldn’t that be lovely jubbly??
On another OFAH note, I bought two polo shirts toaday for 8euros. Black and Navy. Went to local printers, had them put ‘Nags Head Peckham’ in red lettering on them.. 6.50 each!! They are super! Even had her do it like Mikes writing on his Jumper. Wearing it as I write this!!! Cushty.. Now bring on Rock and Chips!!!!
Hey Phillip, I’d love if there would be seasons to instead of just one offs, actually having episodes every couple of weeks would be awesome. And as the seasons progress we see Del and Rodney growing up their mom dieing etc..I’d just love to see these moments on screen!
You and me both Brandon. You and me both..
