Rodney Come Home Only Fools And Horses
Alright, listen up you lovely jubbly people! Let's talk about a national treasure, a comedic masterpiece, a show that's as comforting as a cuppa and a custard cream: Only Fools and Horses!
But there's a burning question that's been plaguing fans for years, a question that keeps us up at night, tossing and turning in our beds like Del Boy trying to flog dodgy gear: Rodney, come home!
The Case for Rodney's Return
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. The show ended years ago. But hear me out! Imagine a mini-series, a one-off special, anything! We need a little Trotter-shaped sunshine in our lives again.
Must Read
Think about it. Where is Rodney these days? Is he still happily married to Cassandra? Did he ever truly escape the shadow of his older brother's harebrained schemes?
Perhaps he's become a surprisingly successful businessman himself, only to find that money can't buy happiness. Or maybe he's living the quiet life, teaching pottery to pensioners and secretly longing for the chaos and camaraderie of Nelson Mandela House. The possibilities are endless!
What Could a Revival Look Like?
Let's brainstorm, shall we? Picture this: Del Boy, older but (debatably) wiser, trying to navigate the world of social media and cryptocurrency. The results would be comedy gold, pure and simple.
Rodney, perhaps a little jaded but still the voice of reason, trying to keep Del from accidentally selling their Nan's dentures on eBay. I'm already giggling just thinking about it!
And imagine the supporting cast! Uncle Albert's (ghost, perhaps?) offering terrible seafaring advice. Boycie still trying to swindle everyone, only now he's running a dodgy online dating service. It practically writes itself!
We could even see Mickey Pearce attempting (and inevitably failing) to become a TikTok star. The comic potential is frankly, astronomical!
Why We Need It Now More Than Ever
Let's face it, the world can be a bit of a downer these days. We're bombarded with bad news, stressful situations, and endless online arguments. We need a reminder that life can be funny, even when things go wrong.
Only Fools and Horses wasn't just a sitcom; it was a celebration of the underdog, a testament to the power of family, and a reminder that even when you're down on your luck, there's always something to laugh about.
Who doesn't love a bit of slapstick with their heartwarming brotherly love? It is good for the soul, and with all the doom and gloom, the soul is hurting!
A revival, even a brief one, would be a much-needed dose of nostalgia, a comforting hug from a show that feels like coming home. It would be a chance to reconnect with characters we love and laugh along with their ridiculous adventures.
It would bring back the fun, the silliness, and the sheer joy of watching two brothers from Peckham try (and mostly fail) to become millionaires. A nation has waited long enough!
So, Rodney, if you're out there...
…please, come home! The fans miss you, Del Boy misses you (even if he won't admit it), and the world needs a good laugh more than ever. Let's make it happen!
Think of all the new catchphrases! All the hilarious misunderstandings! All the opportunities for Del Boy to fall through a bar! It is our duty to bring it back.
Besides, who wouldn’t want to see what kind of trouble Rodney and Del could get into with self-driving cars and drones? The possibilities are as endless as Del’s optimism!
