Only Fools and Horses- Class and Status representation



From the clip we can see instantly that the people are working class. They live in a rough part area of London in run down flats. This instantly shows that they are not wealthy as the flats are not very well kept and the rooms in the flat are very small.
From the inside of the flat you can see that there room is very basic, small living area and kitchen which have very old decor. Worn out chairs, peeling wallpaper and odds bits and bobs that Del buys and tries to sell for a higher price.

There jobs are to see stuff they they buy, and they're out on the streets every day trying to sell them. This shows that they don't have a stable job with a stable income, some days they could do well and other days they might not. This is seen as the usual with a working class family.

There are just the three men living at home, Del Rodney and Uncle Albert, Rodney works for Del and Uncle Albert doesn't have a job so this shows that they don't live off a lot of money, yet they still go down the run down pub which again is quite stereotypical of a working class family
