David Jason describes Only Fools and Horses mistake that brought about series’ end
Sir David Jason has recalled the errant plot decision that precipitated the end of Only Fools and Horses.
The actor, 84, played cockney wheeler-dealer Del Boy across seven seasons and sixteen Christmas specials between 1981 and 2003.
Speaking at a fan convention, Jason singled out the 1996 Christmas special “Time On Our Hands” as the moment that ultimately stifled the long-running sitcom – by making Del Boy and Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) millionaires.
“There was nowhere to go after the Trotters became millionaires and it all worked out,” Jason said (per The Mirror). “It was the end of a journey and the journey was that struggle for survival, the struggle for the family, the way that they behaved, that interaction and all of that stuff that made the Trotters ceased to exist once they had become millionaires, if you like.”
After Del Boy and Rodney were given their happy ending, Only Fools and Horses nonetheless returned for three further Christmas specials.
In the 2001-2003 episodes, written by John Sullivan, the duo were sent back to their flat in Peckham after losing their fortune.
“It wasn’t that John had run out of steam so much, but he was so used to working mentally with all of the characters, the style of the cut and thrust of learning to survive on the edge of disaster, as it were,” Jason said.
In an interview earlier this year, Jason’s co-star star Sue Holderness issued a defence of a “controversial” episode of Only Fools and Horses that tackled transracial adoption.
The episode in question was the season five premiere “From Prussia with Love”, in which Del Boy attempts to sell a baby born to a pregnant German woman to Boycie (John Challis) and Marlene (Holderness).

When the couple learn that the baby is mixed race, they pull out of the adoption.
Speaking on the Only Fools and Horses Podcast, Holderness said:“It’s a very controversial episode now because everybody’s being so careful about what they say about everything. There have been many people who have said they don’t want to see that episode anymore or suggested that maybe you shouldn’t see that episode.
“But when I say many people, it’s probably about three.”
She continued: “Very little in Only Fools is offensive to anybody, I think. It’s the love of family that is so overwhelming… It’s so lovely that there is so much love out there still for the show.
“And I think that’s part of the reason for that. You know, this family, though his business dealings weren’t always absolutely as they should be, but you know, they don’t drink and drive, they don’t take drugs, they don’t swear. It’s gorgeous family entertainment. We miss it.”

Gilmore Girls star Scott Cohen ‘thought he was dead’ after collision in high-speed car chase
Gilmore Girls star Scott Cohen has spoken about the life-threatening car collision that nearly claimed his life earlier this year.
The actor, 62, was driving home in Brooklyn, New York with his wife Anastasia Traina, when their vehicle was struck by that of a suspect in a high-speed car chase.
He was asked about the crash while on the red carpet for the premiere of The Penguin, HBO Max’s new serialised spin-off of The Batman.
“We thought we were dead,” he told Page Six. “My wife’s arm is all messed up. I have a broken sternum, which is supposed to be never-healing. It’s like called a nonunion break, and it’s never going to heal.”
The driver of the vehicle that crashed into Cohen’s car was being pursued by police at the time. After the crash, the suspect’s car is reported to have burst into flames, with the suspect leaving on foot and exchanging gunfire with law enforcement.
Cohen previously shared a photo of himself in hospital for treatment, alongside a caption acknowledging “the fragility of us and how life can change in an instant”.
“With broken bones, bruised bodies, lots of drugs, and the impact of a random act of aggression that hit us we venture on,” he wrote.
“I’m very pissed my existence right now is about healing but at the same time truly grateful @afunnybunnypicture and I are both here to experience the love and incredible generosity of friends and family.”
Cohen is probably best known for playing the role of Max Medina in the hit WB series Gilmore Girls.
The Penguin sees him star opposite Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti in a dark drama set in the criminal underworld of Batman’s Gotham City.

In a three-star review for The Independent, Nick Hilton wrote: “Most people won’t be watching The Penguin as anything more than a Batman spin-off. In this sense, it’s more akin to Todd Phillips’s Joker than the rest of the caped crusader’s world.
“Farrell’s Penguin is very human: flawed but ambitious, unappealing but confident. The Oscar-nominated actor gives what I suspect is a good performance, but he’s unrecognisable, caked under layers of prosthetics and a fat suit. Farrell is a leading man, with leading man good looks. I don’t quite understand the logic of hiring and then hiding him, rather than just casting someone a better physical match for the character. It feels like he’s taking food out of the mouths of Paul Giamatti’s children.”

Keegan-Michael Key opens up on ‘tragedy’ of Jordan Peele separation
Keegan-Michael Key has addressed his separation from former creative partner Jordan Peele, describing their lack of contact as a “tragedy”.
Key, 53 and Peele, 45, first worked together on the sketch series Mad TV between 2004 and 2009, before collaborating as a double act on a run of projects, including their own acclaimed comedy show Key & Peele.
However, the pair have stopped working together in recent years, with Key increasingly focusing on acting roles and Peele establishing himself as one of the foremost filmmakers of his generation. Their most recent project was the 2022 Henry Selick animation Wendell & Wild, for which they contributed vocal parts. Before this, the pair were last seen onscreen together in the 2016 film Keanu.
Speaking to People magazine, Key reflected on first meeting Peele. “We lived together for a few months and would write and talk about comedy – who we liked and why we liked them and how that worked in the architecture of what we were trying to build comedically,” he said.
“When we were on camera, it was alchemy. It was just like, ‘Why is this working?’”
However, the Super Mario Bros Movie star noted that he and Peele “don’t see each other that often anymore… which is, to me, a tragedy.”
Exacerbating matters is the fact that Key and Peele now live in different parts of the US: Peele in Los Angeles and Key in New York.
“Your lives start to evolve and move in different directions,” he continued. “Our evolution, I think, is tied to both of what our desires are. His desire was to start exploring the horror genre, and my desire was to do more dramatic work like I had been trained in school.
“Both of us jumped to another platform [following the success of Key & Peele], but we needed that first platform.”
Peele has directed three features to date: Oscar-nominated horror satire Get Out, Us, and Nope.
Reflecting on their different roles on Key & Peele, Key said: “I was playing the clown more and doing more physical comedy in the beginning of our time together, and then I found myself evolving into playing more of the straight roles and teeing up Jordan to play the clown.”
The actor can next be seen in Transformers One, an animated prequel to the popular Transformers franchise.
