The feelgood family show heads back to Peckham in 1989, where it’s all kicking off. While London’s Yuppie invasion is in full swing, love is in the air as Del Boy sets out to find his soulmate, Rodney and Cassandra prepare to say ‘I do’ and even Trigger is gearing up for a date...

Meanwhile, Boycie and Marlene give parenthood one final shot and Grandad takes stock of his life and decides the time has finally arrived to get his piles sorted.

With musical contributions from Chas & Dave, the beloved theme tune as you’ve never heard it before, and 20 new songs full of cockney charm, audiences are in for a right ol’ knees-up. As Del Boy himself would say: “Get on the blower for a ticket for a cushty night out - only a 4 carat plonker would miss it.”
