Sir David Jason , the beloved star of Only Fools and Horses, has confirmed he won’t be teaming up with The Repair Shop's Jay Blades for another project. The two recently co-hosted the BBC series Jay and David’s Touring Tool Shed, a 15-part show where they explored various restoration projects. However, due to recent developments involving Blades, the 84-year-old has clarified that there will be no second series.
The 54-year-old is currently facing a charge of controlling and coercive behaviour toward his estranged wife, Lisa Zbozen, and recently appeared at Worcester Crown Court, where he pleaded not guilty. When asked about his future plans, Jason responded enthusiastically to The Radio Times , saying: “I’m open to offers!” Despite his readiness for fresh projects, Jason is less thrilled about his upcoming milestone 85 th birthday. “Don’t remind me about it! I’m never a great one for celebrations like that,” he laughed.
“I always find it a bit tiring, a bit embarrassing, a bit ‘Just get on with it...
’ And the older you get, the worse that becomes!” Jason also shared a humorous memory involving Blades in his latest memoir. He recounted how Blades, a self-professed fan of Only Fools and Horses, made an unusual request in December 2021. As the festive season approached and Strictly Come Dancing was gearing up for its Christmas Day special, Jason received a call from the show’s producers.
They wanted to know if Blades could dance to the Only Fools and.
