Sir David Jason has revealed his "regret" when it comes to Only Fools and Horses. The legendary actor, 84, played the role of Derek Trotter - aka Del Boy - on the iconic show between 1981 and 2003. And appearing on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday , he described how the character has left him feeling followed by a "ghost".
"He's with me all the time, whether you call it haunted or not," he said. "I do say he's on my back all the time, because wherever I go people recognise me as the character and you always get people who say, 'Lovely jubbly! ' and all of that." "I’m delighted in one way that it’s reached so many people and they’ve enjoyed what I’ve done with the character, but I’ve done so many other things that everybody seems to have forgotten about. It’s like I’ve only ever played Derek Trotter."
