When it comes to understanding what made Only Fools and Horses so special, or why did everyone loves Del Boy. Or what made John Sullivan’s writing so successful, Sir David Jason must be in the best position to answer those questions.
Thats why we have enjoyed reading the new interview on Gold web site with the man who inhabited the iconic Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter so brilliantly
Sir David Jason reveals he has heard of people in other countries who don’t speak English, say “lovely jubbly” to British tourists. People have obviously told them that if you want to get on with the English, you just have to say “lovely jubbly”! He also tells us how John Sullivan never had to resort to swearing to get a laugh. His humour was so good because he could tell you what was on his mind just by being a clever writer. He didn’t have to spell it out.
