It’s always brave adapting a well-loved TV series for the stage, especially when not one of the original cast members are in a position to recreate their role due to the passage of time.
So it is with Only Fools And Horses. Will fans accept the recasting of their favourite ‘plonkers’, created by actors whose performances are now considered by many to be iconic?
In the case of Only Fools and Horses The Musical, while the cast make a good fist of it, all is not, as Del Boy might say, cushty.
At Edinburgh Playhouse until 9 November.
