Fools lead the way

While Australians often share the British sense of humour, huge success in the UK doesn't necessarily translate to high TV ratings Down Under. A case in point: Only Fools and Horses, a comedy starring David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst. The show's 2001 Christmas special has been named the most-watched show of the decade in Britain, with 21.3 million viewers, translating into a massive 74 per cent audience share. I believe OFAH has screened at various times in Australia, but you'd be hard-pressed to find 74 individuals who have seen it at all.
