The great Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst and the rest of the cast of Only Fools and Horses will forever be the epitome of true British comedy humour who literally made millions of people laugh in the past and will do so into the future. RIP the great John Sullivan, John Challis,Lennard Pearce, Roger Lloyd Pack,Buster Merryfield, Kenneth MacDonald who truly made this show stand the test of time.

Thank you Sir David Jason. Not only for "Only Fools and Horses", but you were also the original voice of "Dangermouse"

[@missmanxee]

Sir David Jason is one of my favorite actors for being both the voice of Danger Mouse and the BFG animated film as well as playing Blanco in Porridge, Granville in Open All Hours and Still Open Hours and as Del Trotter in Only Fools and Horses and I still laugh when I watch the scene where he is leaning on the bar and falls backwards he is a joy to watch and a national treasure 👍❤️

[@TomKeresey10]

Don't forget Jack Frost in A Touch of Frost, that's another great character that Sir David Jason brought to life.

[@missmanxee]

And Pop Larkin from the Larkins as well I forgot to mention that was another great character he made his own

Brilliant ❤ Breath of fresh air..👍

[@ElBrandenBrazil]

I had the pleasure of working on Only Fools as a supporting artist. Both David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst were absolute true gents. I remember being on location in Bristol, standing at the tea and coffee table, when suddenly this familiar booming voice comes from behind me: “Morning, sir! How are you?” It was David Jason. Such a genuine, talented, good man.

[@suffolksliderRC]

Not taking anything at all away from “arguably the funniest” episodes like Jolly Boys Outing, A Touch Of Glass and Yuppy Love, but THE BEST episode for me personally has to be Time On Our Hands !!! How John Sullivan played with everyone’s emotions in this one was truly mind blowing…it was the epitome of everything that the brothers set out to achieve after all the years of wheeler dealing to finally “make it” yet it was under their noses in the garage lockup all that time…priceless 😂🤣👍🏻👌🏻

[@lukea136]

They should start putting these back on at Christmas. Better than the tosh these days!

[@peterstoate2153]

David Jason is a legend!! Whats so amazing and unique about his acting work etc is every books and programs, episodes is a surprise!! What I mean is no matter how many times you watch and read of him! You will never get tired of any of it including the unique comedy!! Ronnie Barker, Lynda Baron etc will be so proud of him including his family and friends!! Bonjour Del Boy aka David Jason!!

Hate seeing stuff come up on my timeline about him always think it’s gonna be bad news just wanna give the man a massive hug
