The Green Green Grass is a new comedy series and is a spin-off from Only Fools And Horses.
It features the characters of Boycie and Marlene and their son, Tyler, now 15 years old. Since we last met them, Boycie's
second-hand car empire has gone from strength to strength, yet, despite his success, Boycie is becoming tired of life in Peckham
and is secretly (at least, secretly from Marlene) craving a more tranquil existence in the English countryside. His decision
to finally make the move is prompted by a chance conversation with Denzil who has some rather disturbing news. Within two
weeks Boycie, Marlene and Tyler have left London - forever.
1. Keep on Running
All is well in Peckham. Marlene is off to a health farm as Boycie rises to take the dog for a walk and their son Tyler is off to France for
a school trip. It's just another ordinary day in the Boyce household. Then Denzil arrives bringing news that the infamous
Driscoll Brothers are being released early from prison and they're on the hunt for the supergrass who helped get them banged
up. Boycie is horrified. By the time Marlene and Tyler return, he's sold the house, sold the car dealership and planned a new life in Shropshire. Reluctantly Marlene
agrees to the move and Tyler is dragged with them. Moving day comes and once north of the safe confines of the Thames, they find themselves hopelessly
lost and out of their depth. They eventually track down their new home and discover that "The Grange" comes complete with
some very strange characters.
2. A Rocky Start
Tyler is not impressed
by his new surroundings in rural Shropshier and Marlene wants to return to Peckham. However, the only fools and horses car
supremo, Boycie, warms to the idea of becoming a gentleman farmer - a role which involves doing little work and mingling with
the country set. Meanwhile, Boycie's manager. Elgin, pursuades him to retain all his staff and set about creating a working farm even if it
means forking out £18.000 on a bull.

herd of 300 claiming they were on speacial deal and Marlene has bit one thing to say "what kind of offer? Buy six, get 294
free".Meanwhile, The vet is called out when Rocky the bull fails to take notice of the females and Tyler prepares to sit a
local private schools entrance exam.
