Only Fools and Horses The Musical coming to Oxford next month
Based on John Sullivan's television show, the musical features Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Cassandra, Raquel, Boycie, Marlene, Trigger, Denzil, and Mickey Pearce.
The production has a script and original score written by Mr Sullivan's son, Jim Sullivan, and comedian Paul Whitehouse.
It will be at the New Theatre Oxford from Monday, March 10 to Saturday, March 15.
The musical includes contributions from Chas & Dave, with the familiar theme tune presented in a fresh way, along with new songs "full of character and cockney charm".
The production, which enjoyed a record-breaking four-year run in London's West End, brings back the best-loved rogues of British television.
Sir David Jason, who played Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in the sitcom, shared his thoughts after seeing the show for the first time.
He told the PA news agency: "It's hysterical, it's very, very good.
"What I did like about it was so much of the original script was used and they did it so well that sometimes, even it took me by surprise, and I was laughing.
'And so the whole show was a memory for me of the whole thing, the scripts, the characters.
"It was lovely to see them all and everybody was working so well together, very much like we did originally… I'm so moved.'

Model spends almost $50K on multiple BBL surgeries thanks to ‘botched' jobs: ‘I couldn't sit down'
As the saying goes, 'Beauty is pain,' and this model isn't letting it stop her. Ex-flight attendant Alanna Pow is no stranger to going under the knife — as the 22-year-old will soon spend over $50,000 on several surgeries of the same kind. Pow went under the knife for the popular BBL, Brazilian butt lift surgery, not once but twice so far — and soon will go for a third. The recovery was extremely painful because the first two surgeries weren't done properly, forcing the 22-year-old to lie on her 'front for six weeks because I couldn't sit down.' The model and ex-flight attendant is no stranger to going under the knife — but she never expected to get three of the same surgeries. Jam Press/@alannasworldx 'When I had the first one, I was still a flight attendant and I went back to work quickly, so I had to walk up and down the whole flight. During take-off, I sat on my BBL cushion and the pain was excruciating, the model said, according to Jam Press. 'I also had to wear a compression garment for six weeks underneath my uniform.' Pow flew over 6,400 miles to Turkey last year for her first BBL, which cost her $10,855.99. Then she made the trek back for her second one for the same price — where the surgeon gave her a two-for-one deal and threw in a nose job for free. The unfortunate news is that Pow has no choice but to undergo yet another butt lift surgery, yes, a third one, to correct the first two botched jobs. 'The first doctor in Turkey took way too much fat from my lower thighs and left them looking wavy. I've been insecure about them ever since,' she admitted. Pow flew to Turkey twice for the same surgery. Jam Press/@alannasworldx 'My legs are the only area he really botched, the rest of my body wasn't done badly, but I don't think he did enough lipo overall.' She learned her lesson this time around — instead of going back once again to Turkey, Pow will see an Australian surgeon. It won't come cheap, though — this third booty surgery will cost over $26,000. Pow is a surgery pro at this point and is looking at the glass half full. 'I'm so excited for my third BBL. The first two were just learning lessons for me.' Funny enough, this isn't the first BBL mishap to happen. One woman who traveled to the Caribbean to get butt implants was at the gym when she realized hers had fallen out. '…when I got back from there [the DR], I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something,' the 29-year-old explained during a sit-down interview with British TV personality Olivia Attwood for her UK show 'Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.' 'My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.'

An Acclaimed Iranian Restaurant From London Is Opening in the Arts District
is an editor of the Southern California/Southwest region, who covers the evolving landscape of LA's food scene. The British are coming to Soho Warehouse. London-based Iranian restaurant Berenjak will open in the Arts District's Soho Warehouse in late September. This is the first publicly accessible location for the restaurant in the U.S.; Berenjak also operates a location at the Dumbo House that is only available to members. The opening comes from a partnership between Soho House and JKS Restaurants, which also operates two-Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Gymkhana. Inspired by kebab houses in Tehran, Kian Samyani founded Berenjak in London in 2018. The menu draws on Samyani's family recipes, offering coal-grilled kebabs and khoresht (stews), alongside smaller plates like hummus, sangak (flatbread), and zeytoon (olives). The restaurant has received widespread acclaim, garnering a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a shout-out from Dua Lipa as one of her favorite London Restaurants. Currently, Berenjak operates two locations in London — one in SoHo and another in Borough — alongside outposts in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Spread at Berenjak with kebabs, sangak (flatbread), and dips. Berenjak The menu at Los Angeles's Berenjak has yet to be finalized, but guests can expect classics from the other locations, alongside new exclusive dishes — and of course, plenty of kebabs. The restaurant will take over Soho House's ground-floor garden, taking advantage of Los Angeles's year-round good weather. Berenjak's arrival stateside is the latest in a growing trend of London-based restaurants expanding to the U.S. Gymkhana will open at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas this fall, while London's seminal Indian restaurant Dishoom has plans to open in New York.
