Rodney and Cassandra meet for a meal both thinking that the other made the first move, and without realising Del has set them up. Luckily for Rodney, Tommy finds Del Boy first, and, pretending to be Rodney, Del Boy takes the punishment for him. Initially, Del Boy, Rodney and Grandad were the only regulars, along with the occasional appearances of road sweeper Trigger ( Roger Lloyd-Pack) and pretentious used car salesman Boycie ( John Challis). The following morning, Del confesses that the bus company offered to give him a double-decker bus in exchange for Rodney becoming a night watchman. When Rodney points out that the three tons of lead are in fact a DIY fallout shelter, Del refuses to believe him until he reads the accompanying brochure.

The show regularly features in polls to find the most popular comedy series, moments and characters. In February 2019, a musical adaptation of the show, written by John Sullivan's son Jim Sullivan and Paul Whitehouse, was launched at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London. According to an interview with John Challis in 2015, the viewing figure "today would be very good but in those days wasn't considered great at all, so it was sort of put on the back burner for a bit – no particular plans for a second series". Only Fools and Horses: The Album featured songs used in the show, as well as John Sullivan performing the theme tune and Hookie Street. It is during a practice run for the Trotter counter-strike survival plan that they get stopped for speeding by the police – they never find out whether they would make it in time so decide to move the lead somewhere else.

Del and Rodney lose their riches in a bad investment in the Central American Markets, and are declared bankrupt. Unkempt and absent-minded, although sometimes displaying a high intelligence, Grandad rarely left the flat or even moved from his armchair in front of two television sets.
