Only Fools And Horses: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

1. Season 6

Only Fools And Horses
BBC

Following the renewed investment from fans after two very successful Christmas specials, the team returned for, what they once again thought would be, a final season (until the seventh). And following the disappointing fifth season, Sullivan knew a shakeup was needed. So with a new producer at the helm and an overarching story tying everything up, BBC produced an absolute masterpiece.

Every episode has the perfect mixture of full belly-laughs and intricately woven storylines, with threads constantly coming back around to bite characters in unexpected ways in some excellent cause-and-effect comedy.

The hilarious moments are too numerous to count: Del's fall through the bar, Rodney being forced into a skateboarding competition, the reveal of the inflatable dolls, etc. And it's all balanced out with some excellent dramatic writing around Rodney and Cassandra, leading to their eventual wedding and the younger Trotter brother finally flying the nest (for as long as that lasted).

If we never saw another series of Only Fools after this, people would have been satisfied with this as the finale, because in terms of a full season, it doesn't get better than this!
