Only Fools and Horses set to return

Only Fools and Horses is set to return to TV screens for the first time in a decade.

The much-loved show, in which South Londoners Del Boy and Rodney Trotter carry out dodgy deals, is coming back with a special trailed in the spring, the Sun reports.

A new script has been written with secret locations scouted and David Jason, 73, and Nicholas Lyndhurst, 52, set to reprise their roles as the show’s lovable duo.

They are set to be joined by their old friends including Trigger, Boycie, Denzil and Mickey Pearce.

The BBC has confirmed that ‘a short Only Fools and Horses sketch’ will be featured in this year's Sport Relief from Comic Relief in March.

The show will see Del Boy Trotter, played by David Jason, celebrate his 65th birthday.

The storyline is believed to have been created by the show’s writer John Sullivan before his death in 2001, with his sons Dan and Jim taking over the script.

David Jason told the Sun last month: ‘I’ve had a good look at the treatment and it’s very good. But I’m saving the proper read-through till there are no distractions.’

A source said: ‘The truth is that he can’t wait to dust off the sheepskin and revive Del. It’ll be a fitting tribute to John.’

The insider added: ‘There will be references to the past, but the story brings Del and the family bang up to date. He’s an OAP now but the old dog has lots of new tricks.’

A BBC spokeswoman said: ‘There are plans afoot for a short Only Fools and Horses sketch for Sport Relief.

‘Further details will be announced in the build-up to the appeal night on March 21.’

The show, which ran in seven series from 1981-2003, was regularly voted Britain's best sitcom.

It was last aired in 2003 with the Christmas special, Sleepless in Peckham

I don't even think I will watch it and leave only fools and horses as it was. I didn't watch any of the year 2000 ones either.

They are making a new friends soon and I get the same feeling, just leave it be.

They'll probably make it as a tribute to RLP.

As they should do, Another older series if possible would go down well imho.
