Sir David Jason 'almost quit' Only Fools And Horses 17 years before the show ended
The actor, 84, portrayed Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter on the beloved BBC sitcom which ran from 1981 to 1991 followed by several Christmas specials.
As the actor contemplated leaving, head writer John Sullivan wrote a potential final episode called Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Producers were reportedly contemplating making Nicholas Lyndhurst the star of a new version of the show called Hot Rod, centred around his character Rodney. At the start of the year David said he would be happy to take on the role of Del Boy again but added that a reboot would be unlikely after the main writer of the hit TV series, John Sullivan, tragically passed away in 2011.
