Veteran British actor Michael Jayston joined the two comedy geniuses for the episode, the final part of writer John Sullivan’s intended farewell trilogy.

Of course, I really wanted to be Angel. Handsome, broody, chest gaping from a satin shirt with one too many buttons open. And the object of adoration for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, despite being undead and occasionally evil. However, being a self conscious teenager baring my chest was out of the question, curly hair is never going to behave in angular spikes like that of David Boreanaz – and where do you even get a satin shirt from? First episode Heroes And Villains featured the one of the most memorable TV scenes of all time with Del and Rodney, dressed as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party, thwarting muggers.

Rodney Trotter Adult Fancy Dress Costume

On that night, to suggest that Rodney Trotter was anything other than my TV style icon was to deny a clear and obvious truth. Nobody at that party said, “Who are you?” or, “Have you come as yourself?” They all said “Look! It’s Del Boy and Rodney!” While my wife ended up donating her sheepskin coat to charity shortly afterwards – denying me the surreal experience of ever stepping out with a fit David Jason again – I decided to keep hold of the parka. I ended up wearing it most days until it was threadbare. What can I say, it suited me. TJ Olivia Pope – Scandal

The trilogy was the perfect way to go out. The audience had seen The Trotters achieve their goals of becoming millionaires. He was quite successful thanks to Open All Hours and Porridge. And he was so talented that I think he would have made it regardless.” I watched it at home like everyone else. I liked it immensely. But I had no idea it would be that big.

When Del Boy meets old friend Jumbo in this Only Fools and Horses moment, he realises the fake Australian doesn't have luscious hair. In fact, he's actually bald and wears a wig to cover it! Talk about a hairy moment... Only Fools and Horseswas one of the greatest 20th-century sitcoms aired on British screens. The lovable comedy followed the Trotter brothers in London, who'll sell anything in the hopes of becoming rich. First broadcast in 1981, the sitcom ran for seven series over a decade, and was watched by millions nationwide. Now, theatregoers can reunite with Del Boy and Rodney Trotter again in Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, as the garish Reliant Robin is parked in the West End. It’s only my fondness for Blair Waldorf that made me persevere with Gossip Girl through to the last episode. Even as the teen drama had become increasingly ludicrous, Blair – the preppy queen bee of the Upper East Side – was so finely drawn, she could have been written by Jane Austen. She was ambitious, witty, loyal, self-sufficient, sometimes waspish. I fell in love with her barbed wit and then with her skater skirts. I could not access Blair’s wealth, but I could imitate her wardrobe. As a teenager, I saved pictures of her best outfits in a folder on my family’s PC: statement coats, blazers, floral prints and Francophile touches. It is hard to say what lasting impact Blair had on my personal style, but it is true that we are both never seen wearing trousers or even jeans. I drew the line at her fondness for headbands. The Batman and Robin scene from the episode was partially re-created by actors during the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony. Obviously there are a lot more channels around now, but it was a show that the whole family could look forward to it, sit down and laugh together over Christmas.”

In a 2001 poll, Heroes and Villains was voted the UK's favourite Christmas show of all time, [1] receiving 35% of the vote in a survey of 1,500 viewers. [2] David is certainly never rude, but there is so much else to talk about in his career. It is funny because David was not first choice for the BBC to play Del. Jim Broadbent turned it down and then David got it. Obviously scripts are important, but David is one of the best at delivering the punchlines and big one liners. Keeping up with the Jonzes: Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney Trotter and David Jason as Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter.
