Rock & Chips

About This Movie

Rock & Chips is an interesting prequel to Only Fools and Horses, really dives into the 1960s atmosphere. You’ve got Joan Trotter, caught in a dull marriage with Reg, and the dynamics with their son, Derek, who's destined to become Del Boy. The pacing has that classic British charm, mixing comedy with those tender drama beats. It explores themes of aspiration and family ties, with a hint of the chaotic energy that Freddie Robdal brings back to Peckham. The performances are solid, capturing the essence of the characters we know from the original series while adding more depth to their backstories. It’s a nice piece for collectors who appreciate the evolution of these beloved characters.
