Michael says David Jason loved playing the role of Del Boy, but never made too much of his stardom. David is certainly never rude, but there is so much else to talk about in his career. It is funny because David was not first choice for the BBC to play Del. Jim Broadbent turned it down and then David got it.

Throughout this Only Fools and Horses moment, one thing is very clear. Trigger is very proud of his broom. But he's not the only one who is impressed by his tools. While talking in a café, Trigger shares with Del Boy and Rodney about his road sweeper broom that he's had for 20 years and how he received a medal for saving the council money. Talking about what it takes to keep a broom pristine, he later mentions that the broom's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles. Cue the looks of despair from the gang, and the inevitable question: "How the hell can it be the same broom then?"

It was an extraordinary gift and it was fine line between making something brilliant and nonsense - and those three episodes were genius.” Trigger finally calls him Rodney, but when it's time to nominate a new vice-chairman of the association, Trigger knows when to call him Rodney and not Dave!

I have worked with David a few times since the final show, but we never mentioned Only Fools’ great success,” he says. “Actors don’t talk about what you have done and dwell on success. I know we felt pleased when we finished as it it was well directed and the lines were brilliant. To be greeted by that amount of viewers was fantastic. I have had the pleasure of working with him on several shows and David has always been so kind to me. Even then Del’s ambition knew no bounds as he upgraded his famous line, at the end of the show telling Rodney: “This time next year we could be billionaires!”Obviously there are a lot more channels around now, but it was a show that the whole family could look forward to it, sit down and laugh together over Christmas.” John was a creative genius, and he died far too young. He was the master of turning real life into comedy. He could put ordinary people in extraordinary situations and make it very funny, but real too without being farce. This scene is an excellent example of advising viewers how not to behave in the kitchen. So much so that Rodney accidentally leaving the kettle on is the least of their worries. Keeping the kettle on the gas, the kitchen fills up with steam and leaving the kitchen with a giant hole in the wall. Condensed walls and alarms going off build up to the big moment when Grandad realises they've killed their pet canary. Arguments fly between the trio in a kitchen that's clearly seen better days. Whatever you could expect to go wrong, multiply the number of mishaps tenfold.

First episode Heroes And Villains featured the one of the most memorable TV scenes of all time with Del and Rodney, dressed as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party, thwarting muggers. A family legend has it that, when I was six or seven, I wanted to be a barmaid. Not just any barmaid, but Bet Lynch of the Rovers Return. Nearly three decades later as a fashion journalist, it’s an anecdote I’m proud of. Those spangly tops, power-shoulder skirt suits and leopard-print everything say fierce, fearless and fabulous Come to think of it, it’s very autumn/winter 2018 (note to self: pitch piece on why Coronation Street is a sartorial archive ripe to mine this season).Obviously scripts are important, but David is one of the best at delivering the punchlines and big one liners. We recommend anyone in Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight, Shetlands, Scottish Highlands/off the coast of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands use Priority Delivery unless you require an urgent timed delivery through UPS courier which is at an additional cost. Please see below for postage prices. I have the feeling that Nicholas was not really into fame. After shooting he used to wear a floppy cloth cap and nobody used to bother or recognize him. He never really does interviews or looks to be in the limelight. One of the co-stars from that epic show opened up last year about up about the “magic” of stars David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
