Only fools and horses Trigger a broken man
Doctor Who
producers have been forced to make hasty changes to scripts after
guest-star Roger Lloyd Pack broke his leg.The actor, who played Trigger in Only Fools And Horses,
worried that his part would be recast following an accident in his
London home.
"Roger was gutted when he broke his leg. He was worried he
would not be able to take part in Doctor Who," a friend told The
Sun.
"But BBC bosses offered to put his character in a wheelchair
to get around the problem. They were massively keen for Roger to
stay in the show, so they were happy to accommodate him.
"His character is a real baddie and the wheelchair is a great
prop, which adds a bit of mystery and intrigue to the part. So it
has worked out very well."
Pack will play the Doctor's enemy John Lumic in the second
series, due to air next year.
