Only Fools and Horses Cast Reunite for Lost Footage Special
The legendary UK sitcom Only Fools and Horses, which delighted fans with the Trotter brothers’ dodgy schemes from 1981 to 2003, is making a thrilling comeback. The iconic cast is set to return with a treasure trove of never-before-seen footage that viewers won’t want to miss.
Del Boy and Rodney Back on Screen with Hidden Gems
Sir David Jason, who famously played Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter, will reunite with fellow stars Nick Lyndhurst (Rodney), Tessa Peake-Jones (Raquel), Gwyneth Strong (Cassandra), and Sue Holderness (Marlene) for Only Fools and Horses: The Lost Archive.
The two-part special marks 45 years of the beloved show, promising exclusive behind-the-scenes access and footage “filmed but never broadcast,” according to series producer Sean Doherty.
Classic Episodes and Unseen Scenes Upgraded to HD
- Fan-favourite clips from episodes like The Jolly Boys’ Outing and Mother Nature’s Son.
- Newly restored scenes from He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Uncle and Time On Our Hands.
- An exclusive unseen nightclub opening scene featuring Del and Rodney from The Class Of ’62.
All clips have been digitally remastered from original 16mm negatives, ensuring crisp, high-definition visuals for fans to enjoy.
Cast and Crew Praise the Show’s Timeless Charm
Sir David Jason, 85, said, “The love for Only Fools and Horses has never faded. It’s incredible to see how many people still hold it close to their hearts. Revisiting these rediscovered moments reminded me just how special the show was – and still is. It’s incredible to be able to share them now.”
Producer Sean Doherty added, “Few shows enjoy the kind of enduring popularity that Only Fools and Horses does. The archive has uncovered some extraordinary material – 66 unseen clips and scenes filmed but never broadcast because they didn’t fit the timing or structure of the original episodes, plus nearly 100 assets from rushes and location filming. We’ve truly been spoilt for choice.”
