==Magazines==
Each DVD came with a magazine, focused primarily on the episodes in the accompanying DVD. Some features recurred across all/most of the issues:

*'''Episode Guides:''' These provided a description of the episodes included on the DVD and a section entitled ''straight from the horse's mouth'' where series writer [[John Sullivan (writer)|John Sullivan]] explained the roots of the episode.  Each guide would have a ''Del's lingo'', where one of [[Del Boy|the character]]'s foreign phrases was translated to his intended meaning; and a ''Rodders rant'' which saw a description of the episodes' events from the perspective of [[Rodney Trotter|the youngest Trotter brother]].

*'''Peckham Profiles:''' This featured a spotlight on a different character from the show each issue. This included a section called ''straight from the horse's mouth'', where John Sullivan talked about the creation of the character and how the actor who played him/her was chosen.  The final section of this feature was called ''The Secret World of...'', which listed several facts about the character in bullet points. A lot of the characters featured in two 'Peckham Profiles' over the course of the collection, with content split between their earlier and later years.

*'''Classic Clips:''' A description of one of the most memorable scenes, with episode stills and a commentary from John Sullivan.

*'''Hooky Street:''' A description of items that Del bought, owned, sold or talked about throughout the course of the show.

*'''Behind the Scenes:''' A insight into things or people associated with the production of ''Only Fools and Horses'', explaining how they became involved in the programme.

*'''The World According to:''' These articles would feature a discussion of a theme or topic that occurred in the series, from the perspective of one of the characters.
