Can Someone Please Set Up a GoFundMe...

...to send me to London to see this?!?!??!?!!?
It won six Baftas, seven British Comedy Awards and was voted Britain’s Best Sitcom in a BBC poll. It also holds the UK record for the biggest audience of a single transmission of a TV programme — 24.35 million for the 1996 Christmas special. Only Fools and Horses is probably the nation’s most cherished comedy show. It even changed the English language, popularising the likes of “cushty”, “lovely jubbly” and “you plonker”.

But none of that stopped Paul Whitehouse agreeing to both write and star in Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, his first West End production, at the age of 60. The show features 20 songs, material from the TV series and a plot centred around Rodney and his middle-class fiancée Cassandra tying the knot, with much soul-searching from Del Boy as he realises that his younger brother is about to move up in the world and away from their Peckham high-rise.
