The show's writer John Sullivan died in 2011, but Only Fools has since found further success as a West End musical which launched in 2019. Many of the programme's stars are now no longer with us, including Lennard Peace who was in the show from 1981 up until his death in 1984, at the age of 69.īuster Merryfield, who was Uncle Albert, died aged 78 in 1999, while Trigger actor Roger Lloyd-Pack died at 69 in 2014 and Boycie star John Challis died at 79 in 2021. No new episodes of Only Fools have appeared on British TV screens for two decades, with the last one being a special shown on Christmas Day 2003. When Del Boy finally struck it rich after auctioning an antique watch during the 1996 Christmas special 'Time on our Hands', more than 24million people watched. The show, famous for catchphrases such as 'cushty', 'lovely jubbly' and 'plonker', starred aspiring entrepreneur Del Boy (Sir David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney ( Nicholas Lyndhurst) who lived in a flat in Peckham, South East London. It might have first appeared on TV screens four decades ago, but the BBC's Only Fools and Horses remains hugely popular among audiences both young and old.
