My guess is we are about to see another episode of Rock and Chips, the third to be exact. The episode The Frog and the Pussycat was made last year and looks likely to be screened around this April.
Why this conclusion?
Well it’s interesting that you can now preorder Rock And Chips – Five Gold Rings from amazon
With Paula Wilcox, Shaun Dingwall, Phil Daniels, Kellie Bright and James Buckley star in Rock & Chips
But the related order enables you to pre-order episodes Rock And Chips Vol.1-3
There is little detail on there except it is 3 disks and the DVD Release Date is: 25 April 2011
All three feature-length episodes of the prequel to the classic BBC sitcom ‘Only Fools and Horses’. James Buckley stars as the 16-year-old Del Boy. Growing up in 1960s Peckham with mum Joan (Kellie Bright), dad Reg (Shaun Dingwall) and Grandad Ted (Phil Daniels), Del Boy spends his days getting up to no good with mates Boycie (Stephen Lloyd), Trigger (Lewis Osborne) and Denzil (Ashley Gerlach) – but his life is changed forever following the appearance of ex-con bounder Freddie Robdal (Nicholas Lyndhurst).

The Frog and the Pussycat is set a little later in 1961. Del and Joan are looking to move on in life. Del tries to become a movie producer – we saw a hint of this years later in his Rhino lost in the city script and when he wants to write the next Harry potter story line. But poor Del has no finance. Maybe his latest squeeze might persuade her father to invest. Surely that would provide the answer to both of their issues.
i loved rock and chips one of the best things on TV I no john has gone RIP But plesea can they try so they can bring Rock and Chips back with all the same people in as they were all bril
I loved The Frog and the Pussycat, it was brilliant! Is their any word if an episode 4 will be made? It would be a nice tribute to Mr. Sullivan if the BBC continued his Rock and Chips. Theirs nobody that can match the comedic mind of John Sullivan! But they could give it a go, couldn’t they? Either way Mr. Sullivan is now at peace and hopefully having a pint with Michael, Grand Dad and Uncle Albert! You guys are always in our hearts!
Come on John! Move on with those episodes.
Give us some more Horses and Fools.
Don’t forget about that “accident with the detonator”. :-D ;-)
Cheers mate!
Oh yes!!!! Bring on episode 3. Now where’s that bleedin series John???
