Sir David Jason reveals which famous actors he blamed for his Hollywood film career not working out


The actor, 84, who is best known for playing Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter on Only Fools And Horses, also hoped to make an impact on the big screen.

Speaking about his big screen ambitions, David said: 'I would love to be able to declare that my collected film work on DVD would make an elegant shelf of high-class cinematic experiences to browse among an evening. In The Great Escaper, Michael played a Dunkirk war veteran who breaks out of his nursing home to attend the 70th anniversary commemorations in France. 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.
