Boycie goes on the run...

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.

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.
