Only Fools' appeal is so broad that you can even count the Royal Family amongst its legion of fans. They weren't just casual fans either, the Queen and her family so enamoured with the antics of the Trotters that they would regularly ask a special favour of creator John Sullivan and the producers of the show.
This was revealed by Nick Lyndhurst who explained that the royals would often send Buckingham Palace Officials to ask for advance copies of the latest Only Fools episodes. The Rodney Trotter actor joked that they must have enjoyed the exclusive tapes as they never gave them back.
Here they are performing for the Queen herself at the Royal Variety performance in 1986. 🤗🇬🇧
