David Jason on the lookout for another leading role

Sir David Jason insists he has no plans to retire after 50 years in showbusiness.

David Jason: 'Only Fools And Horses won't return'

Sir David Jason has suggested that Only Fools and Horses will not return.

The first of three programmes looking at the enduring affection for Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais's classic prison sitcom Porridge. Eric Idle, Keith Allen, David Walliams, Ronnie Corbett and Ian McShane join together in celebration of Ronnie Barker's iconic lag Norman Stanley Fletcher beneath a voiceover from former co-star David Jason. La Frenais and Clement dissect their own rather sterling work while original locations are visited, as is the little-known story of how the show very nearly never reached the screen.

David Jason calls for campagin to bring back Only Fools

Sir David Jason, the star of Only Fools and Horses, says if enough people tweet their support another series might be commissioned.

There's a hairdresser's shop in Balby, Doncaster, which hasn't had this much attention in 28 years. After the BBC's set dressers have done their thing, it becomes Arkwright's grocers, now the domain of Granville and his brown coat.

This documentary explores the appeal of the original Open All Hours - complete, of course, with the curmudgeonly shopkeeper of yore -and the process of making yesterday's Christmas revival without him. Interviews with David Jason, Lynda Baron and writer Roy Clarke hint at the mood on set, which must be bittersweet without Barker. Judging by the window displays, however, things have moved on for the small shopkeeper.

Still Open All Hours review

Still Open All Hours wasn't quite the car crash I anticipated but neither was it the triumphant return to form that I think Roy Clarke and David Jason imagined it to be.

David Jason - back to the shop floor

"Classic comedy is classic comedy and it will go on for years," says David Jason, with all the confidence of Del Boy giving it the big one.

Anyone remember the Christmas 2007 revival of much-loved landed gentry sitcom To the Manor Born? Or have you done your best to expunge it from your memory, viewing it as an object lesson in the dangers of going back?

We weren't allowed to see any previews of this return to the Doncaster corner shop once haunted by Ronnie Barker's Albert Arkwright and his bumbling nephew Granville - which in itself, may not be a good sign. So here's what we've managed to piece together. Arkwright is no longer with us - the shop is now run by Granville (David Jason) and his rather too handsome son Leroy (James Baxter). Granville's still on the look out for some hot loving; tonight, he'll be attempting to arrange a date with old flame Mavis without her scary sister Madge finding out. Oh, and there's rather a lot of anchovy paste to be shifted. No doubt we can expect hilarious consequences.

There's apparently the prospect of a new series next year; we can't help but wince slightly at the prospect. G-g-g-give up while the g-g-g-going's g-g-g-good, G-G-G-Granville.
