David Jason to return as Only Fools and Horses’ Del Boy for one-off special that promises to ‘surprise’ viewers
DAVID Jason has reprised his iconic Only Fools and Horses character for one-off special that promises to ‘surprise’ viewers
The 84-year-old filmed as Del Boy for a new series of Car SOS.
Host Tim Shaw, 49, told the Daily Star: “David was a special guest on an episode and I managed to persuade him to do Del Boy again. It’s a sketch that I think will surprise people.
"It was one of the highlights of my life. It’s something I never thought would happen. When was the last time we saw David playing Del Boy? I can’t remember. So it was absolutely surreal."
The sketch involves Del Boy getting involved with the restoration of a Datsun 240k Skyline.
Only Fools and Horses ran for seven series on BBC One from 1981 to 1991.

There were 16 Christmas specials aired until the show officially ended in 2003.
Fans of the sitcom are still obsessed with it more than 20 years on since its final episode, and were delighted to see Sir David dressed in character earlier this month.
Sir David had attended the annual two-day Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society convention in Milton Keynes.
And now the star has opened up to The Sun's TV Mag about whether the show could make a comeback.
He said: "Well, to be honest with you, we would like that to happen very much because not only did we enjoy it so much, but so did most of the British public. Because of that, we would love to do it."
