The tiny sitcom enthusiast, CJ, who celebrates his first birthday on January 26, shows no interest in typical children’s programming.
Instead, he chuckles along to Only Fools and Horses and even perks up at the sound of other British classics like Heartbeat and the theme tune.
His mum, Sarah Moloney, 31, reveals that her son’s unique fondness for the classic show began when his dad Craig Mortimer, 29, started playing the iconic theme song.
Sarah, a stay-at-home mum from Scariff, Ireland, said: “He started dancing to it, and now he’s obsessed.
“He sits on his dad’s lap watching the episodes like he really gets it.”

CJ’s love for the sitcom began at six months when he first heard the iconic theme tune. By ten months, he was happily sitting through episodes.
Sarah added: “He’s not just drawn to the music anymore, he actually watches it now.
“He even recognises the characters.”
Sarah finds the whole situation hilarious especially since she was never a fan of the show. She continued: “People have joked that maybe I watched it while I was pregnant, but I didn’t!

“I’ve never been a fan of the show myself. This is completely CJ and his dad’s thing.”
Sarah thinks CJ might grow up to be a little Del Boy.
She concluded: “He’s a very funny baby and always makes us laugh.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if his first words were one of Del Boy’s catchphrases.”
