This was initiated by Steve Carrell. He revealed that he would love to become a US Del Boy Trotter and the show could be huge hit on the other side of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Carrell has already made a huge success out of a US version of UK Comedy. He played Ricky Gervais\u2019 role in the US version of \u2018The Office\u2019. They said that would never work and Carrell proved that with enough tweaking to the characters and script, it could work.<\/p><div class=\"d7386eeb5bdcd2f43c1295b58ceaf130\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ofah2-response -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5593259115\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>Could it really make sense?<\/h3>\n<p>Initially you have to say no. The depth of Sullivans writing is embedded in years of culture and history. The Cockney slang and french phrases are all part of the humor. But having said that, the same could be said for The Office. A very British humor and a cringey boss that could only ever exist in a Brtish work place.<\/p>\n<p>Carrell said: \u201cThat is my dream role. The British do sitcoms better than anybody else in the world. I think with the right scriptwriters and cast we could do \u2018Only Fools and Horses\u2019 justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>So who else would star in the remake if Only Fools goes Trans-Atlantic?<\/h3>\n<p>While Carrell would like the role of wheeler-dealer Del, he thinks Ricky would be perfect for the part The Nag\u2019s Head landlord Mike.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIf anybody wants to help me do a remake I\u2019d love it \u2013 with Ricky as Mike the barman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He would also wants Paul Rudd as Del\u2019s brother Rodney, Vince Vaughn as Boyce and Ben Stiller to play Grandad.<\/p>\n<h2>Only Fools goes Trans-Atlantic &#8211; Should it happen?<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe the Americans are changeing and begining to understand the sarcasm and subtleties that exist in British comedy.Would it really be Only Fools and Horses?
