favourites Boycie and Marlene start a fresh life in Shropshire in John
Sullivan's new sitcom.

²ú³Ü±ô±ô…
Ìý
John Sullivan says: "When I was writing Only Fools, I often used to
wonder what Boycie and Marlene were like when they were at home together,
alone. And now I've had the chance to find out!
Ìý
"They're like lots of married couples - constantly bickering and trying
to hide their little secrets but, deep down, they love each other.
Ìý
"Inevitably, Boycie is better suited to the country as being a gentleman
farmer appeals to his ego, and he's not afraid to try anything once,
but Marlene finds the transition more difficult. Stilettos weren't made
for traipsing across fields!"
