From all accounts this year’s Only Fools and Horses exhibition in Margate was a great success. Well done to all those that played a part in the event.
For those of you who missed it, the Only fools and Horses appreciation society put together the ultimate event at Dreamland in Margate. It was celebrating its 30th anniversary since the legendary Jolly Boys Outing. Hard to believe that it was back in 1989 we took the outing with all our favourite characters from the Nags Head an now it’s celebrating 30 years (1989-2019). You can see the details of the event at our Jolly Boys Outing 30th anniversary page.
Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society gets some amazing props.
Event organiser Perry wanted to express his gratitude to a couple that provided some amazing items form our favourite sitcom, Perry said, “A thank you to the anonymous couple who left a box of scripts and props for me at the exhibition on Friday. I’ve not gone through them all yet, but there are some original posters from the Nags Head Pub. “
Perry continues “There are some very exciting items in there“
Boycie from Only Fools and Horses keeps us laughing
While the team of volunteers are packing away the event items, they told me this experience.
“We’ve been packing the exhibition away today and John Challis pops in for a coffee. A bit surreal running around shifting gear while Boycie sits there going over his lines!”
Do Sell-by dates mean nothing to the Trotters?
Do you want to see what John was reading. I’m sure you will recognise which episode of Only Fools and Horses script this came from and why it led to his tweet.
Take a look at John’s great tweet.
