At long last it’s episode 2 -Rock and Chips : 5 Gold Rings and it’s nearly upon us.
Here are some tasters of what to expect from Rock and Chips : 5 Gold Rings
Christmas Day Round The Trotters
It is Christmas, 1960, and Cupid’s little arrows are flying through the wintery skies over Peckham. Fred is in love with his new charlady; Joan is in love with her new baby, Rodney; and Del is about to get engaged three times in the same week.
Fred And Joan Meet In The Cafe
Robdal (Nicolas Lyndhurst) and Joan Trotter (Kellie Bright) have a chance meeting when Fred is released on bail. But will it re-kindle dangerous old passions? It is Christmas, 1960, and Cupid’s little arrows are flying through the wintery skies over Peckham. Fred is in love with his new charlady; Joan is in love with her new baby, Rodney; and Del is about to get engaged three times in the same week.
Alberto Gives Del Some Good Advice
It is Christmas, 1960, and Cupid’s little arrows are flying through the wintery skies over Peckham. Fred is in love with his new charlady; Joan is in love with her new baby, Rodney. Alberto gives Del some good advice on girls, which he shares with the lads. So it seems that Del is about to get engaged three times in the same week.
D.I. Thomas Questions Fred and Jelly
Fred (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and Jelly (Paul Putner) have been detained at Wormwood Scrubs by Fred’s nemesis D.I. Thomas (Mel Smith).
Said in today’s Mail-kid in Egypt saying “Lovely jubbly.Tallyho.tally ho!” to Cameron. Has the series ever been shown in Egypt?
Congratulations on your wedding. Don’t know if you ever read P.G.Wodehouse-suffice it to saty that he invented Ukridge,a character who might have been one of Delboy’s ancestors.
I really enjoyed “Rock and Chips” but was struck at John’s changing history,so to speak. I remember that reunuion featuring the class of 1962,not 1960,and that Freedy the Frog had been doing his National Service in the Navy,not serving during the war-alongside an Able Seaman Trotter,perhaps?
Iespecially liked Kelly Bright’s performance as Joan-I can see why Del felt the wyay he did about his mother.That she only married Reg because he’d put her in the club was predictable-although I can only assume that she was drunk that night!I must admit that,as a Darling Buds fan as well,I’ve always suspected that Pop Larkin was Del’s father!
I didn’t think Albert and Ada had kids-surely Stan was his nephew?
As for a return-I’ve an idea.Bring them back for the Olympics-even if they can’y get Sir David and Nick,couldn’t we have Damien following in father’s footsteps,perhaps with Tyler ?
And is there any OFAH fan fiction?Say-if Joan had lived on,as we all wish she had?
It’s looking like a great episode
According to an interview with Rock and Chips star James Buckley who plays young Del – this episode has a little more humour now the characters are settled in their rolls.
This is a must watch for all Only Fools fans
Its not a comedy as such, but you will love the subtelties John Sullivan has put in for Fools fans
Rock and Chips 9pm Wednesday 29th December
Just spent my entire December 26th (St. Stephens day here, Boxing Day there) watching Only Fools and then Rock and Chips. Brilliant doesn’t even cover it. John Sullivan (or O’Sullivan if we’re being proper Irish) you are a genius sir. I cannot wait for Wed night. Make us proud mate, do a series..

Hi Daniel
Perrys details are on https://www.ofah.net/blog/shop-contact/
all the best
I’m the biggest fan of OFAH in the world!
I love that John Sullivan is doing a prequel to OFAH!
I think that they should let David Jason guest-star in one of the prequels.
Maybe he could drive by in the yellow three-wheel van and young Boycie say to young Del Boy.
“That’s what you will be driving in the future.”
Thats a very good idea Garfield “David Jason drives by in the yellow three-wheel van and young Boycie say to young Del Boy.
“That’s what you will be driving in the future.”
Hope John Sullivan reads that for a future episode!
