Even now it remains the most-watched British sitcom of all time, holding the record for the highest UK audience for a sitcom episode for the 1996 special 'Time On Our Hands'.The Best of British Comedy - Only Fools and Horses includes:• The History: an overview of how Only Fools and Horses was born and developed• Gags and Catchphrases: a collection of classic quotes• Did You Know?: snippets of info about the show, cast, etc.• Favourite scenes: the most memorable scenes in full• An OFAH quiz'I'm depressed because of the state of my life at the moment.
