You would be excused for thinking we were about to see another step into the past of our favourite sitcom Only Fools and Horses. With the plotline centering around Uncle Albert.
Sadly this isn’t the case, but you will experieince a one-off black comedy drama about two World War II veterans taking a dying friend to Germany.
With the fact it stars David Jason it’s sure to be a great piece of acting from Britiains favourite actor.
The comedy drama follows the story of three World War II veterans, Harry and his friends Frank and Albert. Albert’s dying wish is to be buried on the little hill outside Hinderburg in Germany, where he watched the Russians take position in the closing stages of the Battle for Berlin.
Featuring flashbacks of when they were fighting in the war, Albert’s Memorialsees the friends coming to terms with the trauma and emotion of the war and find strength in their camaraderie.
Alberts Memorial is on Sunday 12th September on ITV1 from 9:00pm to 10:30pm
Addtionally David Jason is having quite a weekend with a chance to see his passion of flying in The Battle of Britain documentary on ITV 12th September on ITV from 7:00pm to 8:00pm
David Jason presents a landmark documentary commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. He embarks on a journey across the UK to meet the surviving veterans who risked their lives to defend Britain in the air and uncovers jaw-dropping accounts of the battle. He explores operations rooms, air-raid shelters and radar stations, and works as ground crew. To experience what life was like in the air for the RAF fighter pilots, David also takes to the skies in a Spitfire. During the course of filming, David gains a deeper insight into and respect for the incredible efforts and sacrifices made by ordinary people
I think David Jason is great in all his productions. One thing has always puzzled me -From Open all hours to Frost and all those inbetween, he always seems to be eating – is this the real David or his character – just wondering !
This a very late reply because i’m new here but not to Only Fools And Horses as i watched it growing up with my family. In fact it was probably one of the last programs we ever did watch as a family despite us all still being around. Anyway if you watch an interview with Nicholas Lyndhurst on youtube he says that David Jason was the type of dynamic performer who would always be doing something within the scene such as making and eating a sandwich or whatever it might be.
Only fools and horses, love it
