Fans of John Sullivan's famous British TV series "Only Fools and Horses" had the opportunity to watch the premiere of the long-announced documentary "Boys in Belgrade" in the "Cineplex" cinema chain. The realization was filmed in our capital, and the main star is the actor John Challis, who in the famous comedy plays the character of the overbearing used car dealer Boise.
During his visit in January, the famous British actor used the opportunity to go to the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade and socialize with students, tour the Temple of St. Sava, football fields and the White House, a private tea party with the British ambassador, a sudden appearance in the series "State Business" , and he also met at the Ušće Shopping Center, where a "meet & greet" was organized, when journalists asked him questions, and visitors talked and took photos with him. All these activities were recorded by the camera, and that is how the documentary was made, which was shown for the first time last night.
Due to the situation with the coronary virus pandemic, Chalis himself was prevented from attending the prime minister. That is why a few days ago, he sent a special video message to his fans in the Balkans and invited them to watch the film.
The first episode of the series "Only Fools and Horses" was broadcast in 1981, but its popularity in the Balkans is so great that there is almost no person who does not know who Del Boy, Rodney, Boise, Marlin, Triger, Denzel and other Sullivan's heroes are. That information also reached Chalis, who then decided to come and find the answer to the question why everyone in Serbia adores "Only Fools and Horses" so much. During the research, as he said during his visit to "Ušće", he realized that there really was no man who did not recognize him on the streets, addressed him by the last name of his character or asked about Marlin. And what other conclusions he came to and whether he found the answer that interested him, the viewers had the opportunity to see in this interesting film.
