[Lennie]

Rock & Chips is an upcoming British comedy-drama and a prequel to the situation comedy Only Fools and Horses. It is the second spin-off from the original series, after The Green Green Grass. The sitcom story will focus on the lives of local villain Freddie Robdal, Joan and Reg Trotter and their teenage son Del Boy in the 1960s. The pilot will be ninety minutes in duration and will air on BBC One on 24 January 2010, It is being produced by both Shazam Productions and the BBC.

"Rock & Chips"Pilot (2010)
Set in the 1960s, Joan Trotter is in an unhappy marriage with the work-shy Reg, with whom she has a teenage son, Derek ("Del Boy"). However, the reappearance in Peckham of bank robber, "art connoisseur" and womaniser Freddie Robdal, recently released after a ten year prison sentence, will bring about changes in Joan's life. Rock & Chips will centre on the relationships between the glamorous Joan Trotter, Del's useless father Reg, the safe-cracker Freddie Robdal and the young Del Boy. It will also feature teenage incarnations of some of the original show's regular characters, including Boycie, Trigger, Denzil, and Jumbo Mills. The Trotter family haven't yet moved into their flat in Nelson Mandela House, but there'll be some recognisable settings such as the mean streets of Peckham and the Nag's Head circa 1960.
