Fans of the classic British sitcom Only Fools and Horses have a new way to celebrate one of the show's most beloved episodes. In Margate, a seaside town in England, tours are being launched that let fans relive the famous 'Jolly Boys' Outing. ' This episode, which first aired on Christmas Day in 1989, is remembered for its hilarious storyline and the chaos that follows the Trotter family and their friends on a coach trip from Peckham to Margate. The tour is hosted by Adrian Pegg, who was the production manager for the original episode, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the show was made.

The 'Jolly Boys' Outing' episode was a huge hit, with over 20 million viewers tuning in to watch Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert, and the regulars from the Nag's Head pub as they set off for a day at the seaside. The trip quickly turns into a disaster, with mishaps and surprises, including the unforgettable moment when the coach explodes.

The new Margate tour lets fans walk in the footsteps of their favorite characters. They can visit the same spots where Del Boy, Rodney, and Uncle Albert enjoyed their day out, including the beach and the famous Dreamland theme park. As part of the experience, visitors get to hear a special recorded message from Sir David Jason, who played Del Boy. In his message, he shares memories from filming and wishes fans a great time on the tour. Tickets are available for tours in June and July, giving Only Fools and Horses fans a unique chance to celebrate the show and its unforgettable seaside adventure.
