You can get Only Fools & Horses on DVD at Play.com Just a quick tip - unfortunately the BBC have deemed it fit to cut out certain scence and re-edit a number of episodes in there latest box set. If you buy the series sepaerately or buy the box set with the older packaging then you get the original episodes as seen on TV. Don’t know why they had to mess about them…idiots.
