Sir David Jason has agreed to appear at a huge convention for the beloved sitcom next year.
It will see fans from all over the world meet up and celebrate the show, which ran for seven series.
Only Fools and Horses is such a TV hit it has its very own appreciation society that’s organising the event.
Posting a teaser image on social media, they said: “Sir David Jason will be at our next convention.
“Save the date. We are working on all the ticket details now.”
The event is due to take place on the 15th and 16th of March 2025 at the Double Tree by Hilton in Milton Keynes.
While other co-stars are yet to be confirmed, the event also teases Sir David will be joined “by friends”.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed how Liz Hurley had auditioned for a role in Only Fools in Horses.
The A-list actor was originally in the running to play Cassandra, but it wasn’t to be.
During a Channel 5 documentary about the sitcom, author Mike Jones explained the turn of events.
He said: “She auditioned for the role and it was felt that perhaps she was probably a little too glamorous for…how can I say it diplomatically?
“Our lanky Trotter brother.”
Away from the show, Sir David has opened up about discovering a daughter he never knew existed.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast, he told the show how a letter from his offspring came as a “tremendous shock”.
