Sir David Jason attended the gala performance of the Only Fools and Horses The Musical in London on Wednesday evening and reminisced about his old friends. The 84-year-old, who portrayed Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter on the BBC sitcom between 1981 and 1991 along with a few Christmas specials, said the entire performance was a 'memory' for him. "It's very, very good," he said after the show. "What I did like about it was so much of the original script was used and they did it so well that sometimes it took me by surprise.
"The whole show was a memory for me of the whole thing - the script, the characters. It was lovely to see them all and everybody was working so well together, very much like we did." He sighed before adding that he was going to 'cry' as he was touched by the entire production.
He said: "I'm going to have a boo now. I'm so moved." The iconic star went on to joke that he 'missed out on it' when the audience gave the stage cast a standing ovation. The show brought back fond memories of the original, with David saying that it very "nearly bought a tear to my eye.".
Sir David also posed for pictures backstage at the Eventim Apollo, with the star posing with Sam Lupton. Sam took on the role of David's Del Boy in the stage production. David looked dapper in a checkered button up top with a red zip-up sweater. He kept warm in a brown leather jacket.
