Jason retires from Only Fools and Horses

Veteran actor David Jason has refused to revisit his beloved Only Fools and Horses character Del Boy, after deeming himself too old to play the cockney conman.

Award-winning Jason, 65, last appeared on the small screen as cheeky Del Boy in the Christmas 2003 special Sleepless in Peckham, but has decided the episode of the long-running British TV comedy was his last.
