Del Boy and Rodney back for charity special

Due to be aired in March, the special for Sport Relief will see 73-year-old David Jason — better known as happy-go-lucky cockney Del Boy — reunited with Nicholas Lyndhurst as his bumbling younger brother. “There are plans afoot for a short Only Fools and Horses sketch for Sport Relief,” a BBC spokeswoman said. “Further details will be announced in the build up the appeal night on March 21.”
“Only Fools And Horses” ran for a decade until 1991, but since then has only reappeared sporadically in the form of Christmas specials, the last of which was in 2003.
