E32: Only Fools and Horses

Welcome to Long Distance, Bit Weird, a podcast from international comedy couple Sooz Kempner and Michael Balazo. One of them lives in the UK, the other in Canada. It's like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel. This week Sooz introduces Michael to the classic British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, which ran from 1981-2003 over seven series and sixteen Christmas specials. What's the show about? Why do millions of people love it? Who is Del Boy? And were all of the episodes really written by just one man i.e. show creator John Sullivan? Listen to find out the answer to these questions and more! PLUS: sign up to the Long Distance, Bit Weird Patreon for our Only Fools and Horses watch-along of the episode "Who's a Pretty Boy?"
