Today at 9am another 50,000 more tickets for Only Fools and Horses the Musical have just been released. The amazing show will now extend till June 2020!
They have also just released this awesome new Only Fools and Horses the Musical trailer which is a snippet from the show. Its called ‘Where have all the Cockneys gone?’ So if you havent seen the show yet then don’t miss it as only a plonker would miss out on a trip to Cockney-land.
This is the latest video trailer from the outstanding Only Fools and Horses Musical : Where Have All The Cockneys Gone?
This trailer is another reminder of the great Chas & Dave whom have often been involved in Only fools and Horses. For example Chas & Dave contributed to the show, performing the closing credits song for the 1989 episode “The Jolly Boys’ Outing”. “Down at Margate”
The late Chas Hodges did indeed write, with various other collaborators, several of the songs in this show. One of them crops up in the middle of the first half. Grandad treats his fellow-drinkers in the Nag’s Head to a rousing rendition of “Where Have All the Cockneys Gone?”. Its like Del Boys version of “Any Old Iron”.
The Only Fools and Horses opening tune was changed after the first series, and the new one was written by John Sullivan.. Sullivan had intended Chas & Dave to sing it because they had enjoyed success with the “Rockney” style, a mixture of rock n’ roll and traditional Cockney music.
John Sullivan, the creator and writer of those programmes, was working on the current adaptation when he died of viral pneumonia in 2011. His son, Jim, took up the task, with Paul Whitehouse – who also plays Grandad rather beautifully – as co-author. The piece is aimed firmly (if not exclusively) at fans.
