James O'Brien meets Sir David Jason | LBC

[@NEONMOTORFAIRY]

James is the perfect interviewer: does his research, and intelligently and sympathetically conducts his interview.

[@bobstephenson8747]

This is an absolute joy - thank you David Jason for entertaining us for these last decades. And thank you James for this lovely interview!

[@stevenbrown8857]

When you get older, you realise there is so much more to the people you grew up watching ... and they become even greater ... Granville, Del Boy, and Frost

[@mochan8447]

Infinite love for David Jason ❤

[@mediolanumhibernicus3353]

Superb interview by James. Puts Jason totally at his ease.

[@susanb4816]

Inspector Frost in the wee hours of the morning got me through an abusive situation

[@minui8758]

Got me through the days waiting for my useless dad to wake up from his drunken mess too. Clearly helping the mums at night and the kids in the morning 😅

[@TheCameronWatson]

I had no doubts he wouldn't be, but what a beautiful man.

[@jl-xs6ud]

As soon as I heard Sir David start speaking so many great memories came flooding back. What a legend

[@01thistledoo]

Fantastic, well conducted interview. James's timely questions and occasional interjections brought out the best from David Jason, who was totally engrossing. Well done

[@mattk5020]

I would love to have heard him speak aboit his memories of John Sullivan and Nicholas Lyndhurst and other Only Fools And Horses cast.

[@pitdog75]

OFAH! still watch it from time to time.

[@callumclarke1733]

Great interview. Sir David Jason a legend and Humble and down to Earth man.

[@colmmeade1824]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@colmmeade1824]

Couldn't get into his biography but love anything this man does

[@davyburns6926]

Well done, great to see an extended interview that does justice to this great actor! Thankyou

[@paulc1553]

Sir David Jason, national treasure.

[@jl-xs6ud]

Absolutely ❤️

[@akwamarsunzal]

What a great interview! Those were the days! I remember wanting to go on a school trip, my parents could not afford it, I went out to work at the age of 13, paid for the trip and have done the same ever since! Now I work with some high profile folk, who appreciate my down to earth, this is the way it works and you follow or you dont. Presidents, first ladies, A lister Hollywood stars, makes no difference, they appreciate that "work ethic".

[@philippepalmer2968]

wonderful as Skullion in Porterhouse Blue,I would say that was one of DJ's greatest performances not surprising he won the Best Actor BAFTA for it

[@onepartyroule]

Legend is an overused word, but sometimes it's entirely appropriate. This is one of those times. I properly love David Jason.

[@danielkarmy4893]

'You do like fiddling with things---' 'Pardon?!' The art, and the craft - and a master of both...

[@Non-Doctors-Music]

What a brilliantly interesting interview. David Jason, another National Treasure. Thank you both.

[@HJJSL-bl8kk]

Now most copies are lost, but Do Not Adjust Your Set was a favourite. Not only David Jason but some of the Monty Python lot and the Bonzo Dog Band. I tore home from school the days it was on.

[@seanmmccarthy]

Strange to think now that Sir David wasn't the first choice to play Del Boy. Enn Reitel didn't fancy it and Jim Broadbent (who eventually played Slater) couldn't do it because he was doing a show in the West End.

[@TheSpookyDuke]

David Jason is a global treasure.

[@Dragonsitter]

Wonderful at business, leaning on a bar that’s NOT there‼️ Classic😘

[@amymarshall1711]

Really enjoyed this.👍

[@ELCHAPOTHEMAN]

Loveky man. You've got me through some dark times over the years Sir David with Only Fools And Horses. ❤️😁 I think i hold the record you know for watching the complete series hundreds of times. Literally. I've got the lovely dvd boxdet.

[@frankmurphyburr3598]

Theres a great line in a Genesis song, Cinema Show, "listen to the old man speak ,of all he has been through " ❤

[@johnshaw8769]

Or P.F. 'the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime'

[@gavinbuck8130]

Seconds Out is one of my all time favourite live albums. It's actually "Listen to the old one speak" but I'm being pedantic and splitting hairs, your point still stands. 😊

[@wtorules4743]

Fine interview getting to the heart of DJ and the magical audience connection we know so well.

[@faizalhakim3772]

Legend ❤

[@sleepydank8330]

True Icon. Sadly no mention of nick lyndhurst, no stories of buster merryfirld or Lenard Pearce. It would have been nice to hear behind the scenes ofah stories

[@robertjessop7433]

My hero legend, Sir David Jason, Del Boy, Granville, Jack Frost, the best shows he ever did in my opinion.

[@tadeusz1]

What a talented man. Great stuff.

[@li5bon]

Wonderful interview 👏

[@rollrunna]

Fabulous !!!! well done !

[@bumberClart1000]

The biggest cure for depression

[@thomasarnoldcoe6527]

His Great Voice Acting was Great Too. He was both Dangermouse and Count Duckula.

[@mohammedzahid1990]

What a legend

[@killbotone6210]

Count Duckula himself 😮

[@jl-xs6ud]

I've still got them all on DVD

[@KW-ro5ow]

Watched it when I got home from school. And Dangermouse. And Wind In The Willows. Happy memories 😊

[@philllawrence1580]

That was outstanding James

[@paulstocker4527]

You should of asked him why he has super injunctions on the go.

[@racewaymediaproductions8554]

I assume the vague 2 second reference to children's television is Mr O'Brien's way of dismissing Danger Mouse and Count Duckula. Two brilliantly written and performed series and both deserving of equal praise to pretty much everything else Sir David has done.

[@minui8758]

David Jason’s Mr Toad will always be my definitive Toad voice. And the entire WitW series still entertains me now as much as it did then

[@NEONMOTORFAIRY]

The fact he barely mentioned his most famous character in Del Boy suggests that isn't the case at all. I think he rather relished the challenge of conducting an interview that illuminated the lesser known aspects of his career. More getting at the heart of the man.

[@neilswan5044]

Lovely interview, but left slighly frustrated that DJ didnt have time to develop why he wanted to play Frost. He made that a standout series by the little idiosyncracies he brought to the character. Wouldve been nice to hear more on that, but overall a cracking podcast

[@therealnewmessiah]

Come on James. After his last comment about wishing to embody the character of a future cartoon character and then calling out for a dream job. How did you not finish on "This time next year"

[@maradellabianca381]

Brillant in every role.Frost screened in Italy.Superb acting.

[@keithmorel2964]

Wonderful

[@frankmurphyburr3598]

Luvlly Jubbly ❤

[@weaq84]

Amazing. I genuinely thought he had died years ago.

[@lifes-entertainment2484]

Where do i begin, i am out with my dogs for a walk, and i literally just started robbing while listening to this. We will never see the likes again. I am 38. Just about pulled my self together to type this

[@ShabumkinSpleen]

I enjoyed that. Thank you James and of course, thank you Sir David, you've always been there to make me smile.

[@robinwallace1399]

Excellent chat😉

[@mattk5020]

Fantastic!! Can you get Nicholas Lyndhurst and Tony Banks from Genesis and Mike Rutherford from Genesis and Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Thanks

[@aeonparker-white9306]

David Jason has some interesting friends, particularly those who share his love of hang gliders, he gave them the keys to his flat and is not responsible for anything that went on there, anyone who says he was aware is a conspiracy theorist for sure.

[@vladimirimp]

Danger Mouse. Count Duckula. The BFG.

[@thomasarnoldcoe6527]

You’re, right, he was the voice of the BFG. Right or Left?

[@hegzneptune7327]

Great episode

[@kennethgiles8375]

As requested by dan wotton

[@ChrisLaw84]

cant even believe avid Jason gave his time up for this fool

[@danieljohn3498]

The Wind in the Willows

[@thomasarnoldcoe6527]

That’s right David Jason was Mr Toad

[@hinah4666]

James definitely needed a small break after such heartwrenching topics, which make you feel sick as human and feel guilty ourselves of just watching these things happen

[@tug1345]

James could have made an effort with his appearance, been a bit smarter looking, I mean he is interviewing one of our most successful actors, if he can't show the respect for David Jason then he's no hope

[@IMBlakeley]

Did he speak about his flying hobby with his mates Albert Tarnow and Derek Sear?

[@steveymoon]

Or perhaps simply, David Jason?

[@clario2178]

Poor Sir David ,having to listen to that .

[@steveymoon]

Or perhaps just David?

Anyone else reading the comments about JoBs behaviour to certain of his LBC colleagues?

[@JwayT]

Can we have a version of this with everything James O'Beech says cut out? Be a massive improvement.

[@maryannemckay3606]

Oooh…a little harsh?!…☺️

Give it a rest @JwayT. 🙄

I think this interview could age badly in a few years....

An absolute legend in Sir David Jason sitting with an absolute tool in James O’Brien.

Isn't David Jason jewish? Maybe you should check that first.

whys that matter?

[@gtingaming716]

Why would that matter? He’s a national treasure.

[@KingofEverything1]

@@BrokenSpirit99 look at the news

[@danielktdoranie]

No he is not Jewish. His father is English, a fish monger and his mother is Welsh, she didn’t learn to speak English until she was an adult.
