Nicholas Lyndhurst in recent times is having success in a sitcom i rate highly – After You’ve Gone playing the hard-done-by father of two : Jimmy Venables.
What a treat to see Nick in Rock & Chips as Freddie Robdal.He played the 1960′s gangster father of Rodney Trotter in the prequel to Only Fools and Horses
There are very strong requests for more Rock & Chips and it’s beleived that Nicholas Lyndhurst isn’t against the idea.
