GazerRise Fantastic!

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Aaron Hassard Okay, this show is alright, funny in bits, story's are abit stupid sometimes (Farm Idol? what next) but overall a decent show, but it will never match the quality of Only Fools And Horses has (To Hull And Back, Strangers On The Shore, quality episodes), but i wonder if T.G.G.G will do 60,90 minute Christmas specials O.F.A.H had in the past.I'm hoping to get Series 1 on DVD for Christmas this year and am looking forward to seeing the pilot episode (never seen it before) in which Boycie And Marline sneak of to the country away from the Driscoll Brothers!I would recommend this show to fans of OFAH or people just interested in comedy!7/10

emma_watson-lover Here we have a spin-off to a very popular show which makes this very hard to become popular. Reason being everyone will expect it to live up to OFAH. However in my eyes it does because of a few reasons firstly being that it is a completely different style with old characters and yet still works. Secondly it's funny and yet at the same ti doesn't just base around Boycie and Marlene it seems that the farm workers have become the extra's and funny extras make anything that much better. Lastly and most importantly every episode has a different storyline and is always funny plus it is stand alone it barely even makes references to OFAH. The only way it seems to be connected is with character names. This in my opinion is a stand alone funny sitcom which gives you a smile on the odd occasion it does mention an OFAH person. Absolutely great look forward to it every single week.

ShadeGrenade Whenever a hit sitcom appears, there will always be a spin-off. Sometimes more than one. Few manage to replicate the popularity of the original. Everyone has heard of 'M*A*S*H', but who remembers 'Trapper John'? Those who fondly remember 'Friends' do not feel as affectionate about 'Joey'. 'Going Straight' was funny, but no 'Porridge'. With 'The Green, Green Grass', John Sullivan tried to construct a semi-sequel to the much-loved, long running 'Only Fools & Horses'. A colossal task, whichever way you look at it.The premise is this; vicious gangsters Danny and Tony Driscoll ( Roy Marsden and Christopher Ryan ) are out of jail, and want revenge on the man whose evidence put them away - Boycie ( John Challis ). The terrified car dealer sells his business, and with wife Marlene ( sexy Sue Holderness ) and teenage son Tyler ( Jack Doolan ), abandons London, fleeing to the countryside to begin a new life. Of course being city folk they find it tough going. 'Green' is a 'fish out of water' show, a premise used before in countless shows, such as 'Two In Clover', and the U.S. shows 'The Beverly Hillbillies' and 'Green Acres'. Many 'O.F.A.H.' fans were unimpressed. The first season was patchy ( though the episode where Tyler tries to chat up a school girl only to discover she is his teacher was hilarious! ), but later ones showed signs of improvement. New writers were brought in, yet it still felt like Sullivan's baby. The supporting characters are stereotypes - the yokel farmhands, the idle housekeeper, the tight-fisted Welsh farmer - but it doesn't really matter. Sitcoms are traditionally full of stereotypes. Even new ones. Take a look at Miranda Hart's much-praised show and you'll see what I mean!Challis and Holderness are as good as ever, and David Ross hilarious as sly farmhand 'Elgin'. There was a change in format mid-way through the run as the Driscoll Brothers found Boycie ( with some help from Marlene's big mouthed sister, played by Paula Wilcox ). They forgave him, providing he stored a box of their money on his land.Whatever its faults, it did not warrant the juvenile hate-filled rants it attracted, and gave this reviewer at least one good laugh a week, which is more than most modern sitcoms can do now in a whole series. Four were made before the B.B.C. elected to close down Boycie's farm. I was sorry when this happened. The show had the potential to be special, but never quite made it.

walfordqueen This show works great as a spin off but it's not as good as Only Fools And Horses to be fair though nobody said it would be and I never expected it to be either. The dry wit is still there and it's very amusing when it comes up with the right dialogue. There's been times I've thought this just isn't working but then there's been other times where I've really laughed at what the characters have been saying. On the whole I'm glad that this spin off series was made as it's been great to see the characters involved again. Only the beeb could make a spin off to such an iconic program work and this is what they have done here. Looking forward to the Christmas special and then hopefully a new series in the new year.
