Aspel & Company - David Jason Interview (1989)

[@robertBuckinghamB-uh5nx]

Love Sir David’s story about the wind up he and Nicholas did to cast and crew and all the other stories from the other guests really enjoyed this video👍👍👍♥️♥️

[@johnking5174]

David's appearance on here was also during the time Series 6 of Only Fools and Horses was airing on BBC One. It was the first series to be in the 50 minute format on a Sunday night, and it was the time the show sky rocketed in the ratings, gaining around 16 to 18 million viewers per episode in 1989, with the 1989 Christmas special getting a whopping 20 million viewers.

[@majordolbyscat]

Thanks John for offering us that bit of trivia!

@@majordolbyscat No problem, I am a huge Only Fools fan.

[@jippalippa]

Season 6 is indeed my favourite one.

When I think of my favorite period of Delboy; it's David at this age. ^_^

I was thinking the very same thing when I first watched this.

He was in his prime here Late 80s Early 90s

This man sir David Jason is my best actor if not the best actor ever Not only was he brilliant in only fools and horses but sir David Jason and Ronnie in open all hours there's no ever two comedian's that are better together than sir David Jason and Ronnie on this planet

[@johnking5174]

This Aspel and Co edition aired on the night before the episode "Chain Gang" of Only Fools aired on BBC One on Sunday 22nd January 1989, the episode where they try to buy gold chains from what turns out to be a con man.

One of the best actors ever, I love David Jason so much!! ✌☺

@@majordolbyscatlol u won’t think that when the truth comes out

[@johnking5174]

Watching Michael Aspel reminds me of a talk show host from Ireland who I feel had a similar cold style of interviewing, a man called Pat Kenny, who hosted Kenny Live 1988 to 1999 and then took over Ireland's big Late Late Show for 1999 to 2009. I just remembered Pat Kenny when I saw Michael's interviewing style.

[@SRlikethetoothpaste]

That clenched fist / pursed lips entrance at 0:24 says so much about the man. What a presence.

[@martm216]

Lovely clip - good to see David Jason and Emily Lloyd together. Emily is so lovely and cute.

[@David-h4z2s]

She looks very cute here ❤

[@michaelstamper5604]

Gooooooood grief, Penfold. It's that David Jason fellow.

[@majordolbyscat]

Kudos for Dangermouse reference

[@michaelstamper5604]

@@majordolbyscat my favourite cartoon at the time. I don't think David Jason has ever made a programme or series I didn't enjoy.

That was a brilliant watch, just felt like I was watching extra footage of delboy

[@huntercoleman460]

He was great as The BFG.

[@keithsmith8385]

Wonderful series Michael aspel brilliant presenter

[@majordolbyscat]

I totally agree. And while there is the feeling of the interviews being more scripted than say the Parkinson formula, there is no denying Michael is an enigmatic, charming and humorous host that makes his guests feel totally at ease.

[@sporkfindus4777]

Michael Aspel let his guests shine

I love wind in the willows and David Jason was outstanding as Mr toad! All the characters were good but Toad was the best

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

Yes . When it was her turn to be interviewed.

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

You obviously don't know how chat shows work then. Should be fairly obvious that during this part it is David Jason's segment of the guest spot and therefore - the main focus is him!

[@d8456]

When dies its all gonna come out about him.. another bbc sociopath

[@leon-p5z2u]

love him

[@noellekeating7039]

Do you have the complete interview ?

[@majordolbyscat]

I am not sure if you are aware but due to playing it safe, after have the channel taken away from me for a short while, I did have the Peter Howitt uploaded but because of a copyright issue with a film clip, it has been taken down. I will re-edit the clip and upload it again in the future.
