Sir David Jason has revealed that he would be keen to revisit his iconic Only Fools and Horses character Del Boy, if presented with a strong enough pitch.<\/p>\n
He first portrayed the cheeky Peckham salesman for the sitcom\u2019s first episode back in 1981, being a regular face on our screens right up until the grand finale on Christmas Day 2003.<\/p>\n
Jason later reprised the role for 2014\u2019s Sport Relief in a sketch with David Beckham, while last year he shared a video to YouTube of Del Boy wishing the England squad good luck as they reached the end of their Euro 2020 run.<\/p>\n
However, the actor\u2019s latest comments\u00a0suggest that he is eyeing a more substantial return to the character, who be admits to having a particular fondness for.<\/p>
\u201cI\u2019ve always loved Del Boy, who is such a wonderful loser,\u201d he said (via The Sun<\/a>). \u201cI would love to revisit him, I need someone to write me a script.\u201d<\/p>\n Almost two decades since it went off-air, Only Fools and Horses remains hugely popular among Brits, but spin-offs The Green Green Grass and Rock & Chips never quite reached the same stratospheric heights.<\/p>\n Jason went on to say that one element of the show\u2019s success is the relatability of its core trio of characters, whose family dynamic still resonates with millions across the country.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s funny, amusing and an identity for most people who watch it, who are working class and come from where I come from, and identify with the idiots who are the Trotters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re just like the rest of us: a family who have ups and downs.\u201d<\/p>\n Only Fools and Horses is available to stream on BritBox.
