Rock & Chips: Five Gold Rings DVD
Catch up with the Trotters as South London’s most famous family return for a second, hilarious helping of Rock & Chips in this hour-long comedy drama from the pen of John Sullivan.
Nicholas Lyndhurst returns as Freddie Robdal (Rodney’s dad) and stars alongside Kellie Bright as Joan Trotter, James Buckley as Del Boy and Phil Daniels as Grandad.
Rock & Chips: Five Gold Rings picks up the Trotter story after the birth of baby Rodney in 1960 and follows the fortunes of the family as Del progresses to manhood. This feature length special is an essential addition for all fans of Britain’s favourite sitcom, Only Fools and Horses.
It's Christmas 1960 and the Trotters are settling into their new flat in Sir Walter Raleigh House, Peckham.
Rodney is a babe in arms, Reg is still drawing the dole and hard-working Joan is struggling to keep the family afloat after losing her jobs at the town hall and the cinema.
A 16-year-old Del has left school and is exploring employment opportunities around the docks - including a nice line in selling 45s straight off the back of a boat from America - and Freddie Robdal has been temporarily detained in Wormwood Scrubs at Her Majesty's pleasure.
Joan's fortunes start to look up when she gets her old job back as the ice-cream girl at the local cinema.
Freddie is released on bail but will a chance meeting with Joan rekindle dangerous old passions? And will Freddie be able to stay out of prison long enough to get to know baby Rodney?
Meanwhile Del, who has been advised that slipping an engagement ring on a girl's finger can open up a whole new world of lustful opportunity, has managed to get himself engaged to half of Peckham.
But will any of his engagements lead to a trip up the aisle?
