Rock & Chips - Latest News
Why the title change?
The prequel to Only Fools and Horses is called Rock n Chips.
Its working title was originally Sex and Drugs and Rock n Chips, so why the name change?
We asked John Sullivan OBE and he provided the following 2 reasons
1 – in this digital world on TV listings – iphone listings – sky plus etc they tend to abbreviate titles automatically – if they did this on the old title it would say
SEX, DRUGS only – not really appropriate
2 – Also there is the Ian Drury thing coming out so it’ll avoid clashing with that.
If you think back to Only Fools when that title first was used everyone said what does that mean – Rock n Chips will have the same effect
John Sullivan OBE finally gave us an even more important reason:
Also Rock n chips is all I ever eat in the 60’s
When is it aired?
Don’t forget Rock & Chips will air on BBC1, Sunday 24 January, 9pm it’s a 90-minute comedy drama which focuses on the earlier years of Peckham’s most famous family, the Trotters.
Will there be a series?
We are confident that if the show goes down well with the fans, the BBC may well have to consider such.
If you love the show then let the BBC know on 0208 743 8000 – You never know we may then get a series !
Any more behind the scene images for Rock & Chips?
Here goes
Cast from Rock n Chips
Del Boy is twice as nice
I've seen your face somewhere
Del Boy, Trigger, Boycie and Denzil and others
the atmosphere created by the director was excellent, as was the script and entire cast. it simply has 2 have a lot more episodes. the length was perfect . freddie detinator scene 1 day will be amazing. mark my words!
Not bad at all for a first show and I think that the idea of making a show with young Delboy and co is great ! It gives us a little change and it shows us how everyone in ofah was when they were younger. To my mind, Mr Sullivan should make more episodes. Anyway, No other series can beat ofah !!!
where was the prefab estate sceen filmed?
For me this was a definate success, and as a fan of ofah found it easy to put the pieces together from the clues left in the frogs legacy. I am eagerly awaiting the follow up or full season, i know i have heard mixed reviews from friends saying its not del boy etc, but i thought it captured the whole youth of the cast perfectly, so yes from me and believe this could become another legendary piece from sullivan. Well done .
i think the whole idea of the rock & chips 1 off was a gr8 idea im a massive fan of ofah & hav evry series n xmas special n generally fot it was gr8 am quite gutted though as i only saw so much of it wonder if any1 could tell me if n wen its gonna b released on dvd or tht
Sheer joy from start to finish, I have a whole new love and understanding for the Trotters now!
checked on imdb and it was up by 6% in popularity 2 days ago today its upto 167% i think people didn expect it to be so good should become a series :)
Totally Fantastic!! I think that the last Episode is missing, and NEEDS to be made in time for Xmas. By watching the FROG’S LEGACY you get to understand how it all fits in, and what could be done in the final episode. It would also give the writers more time to develop the characters, and give Del, time to develop his catch-phrases and mannerisms, and bridge the gap. I think a Series would be most unwise, you NEED Freddie Robdall in it, he is the reason Rock n Chips got made.Treat us to one more helping……PLEASE!
fantastic show we want more
fantastic enjoyable telly, especially as it was filmed in my home town and my old school. Please let us have more
I would love to see another episode or series. John Sullivan good job yet again!
FANTASTIC PLEASE MORE
didn’t think i was going to be much cop – but really enjoyed it if any thing it could have been longer but lets hope we get a follow on in time for christmas day hint hint well done all involved loved it and will buy the dvd when it comes out
amazing tele, i was over the moon with it, it was great to see the people we only heard of and not seen before, i think it would be great if they made a series or even a part 2 to see what happens after rodney was born, how freddy died and how the treasure got out to the sea, what joan says on her death bed, ect,
