Do we like Del Boy?

A character from Only Fools and Horses (1981–2003)

Our score: 7 out of 10. A rogue with a heart of gold: his schemes are dodgy and often backfire, but he's fiercely loyal and we'd happily back him, if we kept hold of our wallets.

Del Boy is the older brother in the Trotter family in Peckham, South London. He is a market trader in a sheepskin coat and gold jewellery, and he peppers his speech with French phrases. The BBC sitcom, created by John Sullivan, follows him, his brother Rodney and their family as he tries to make his fortune and become a millionaire.

Del is a charming salesman and an eternal optimist, and his shady dealings make up much of the show's comedy. He cuts corners and sells goods of doubtful origin, and his plans rarely go as he hopes. He can also be pushy and condescending towards Rodney.

Underneath, Del has held the family together through hard times, and he puts them first when it matters. That loyalty, along with his resilience and his comic, wounded pride, is why audiences love him. He is a flawed, fun and big-hearted lead, so he gets a solid 7.
