At a recent fan convention for the BBC series which first aired in 1981, David spoke about why writer John Sullivan’s decision to make Del Boy and Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) millionaires left Only Fools with “nowhere to go”, according to The Mirror. The 1996 Christmas special saw the brothers achieve Del’s promise that “this time next year we’ll be millionaires”. Derek and Rodney discovered a long-lost 18th Century Harrison marine watch in Del’s garage which sold at auction for £6.

“It was the end of a journey and the journey was that struggle for survival, the struggle for the family, the way that they behaved, that interaction and all of that stuff that made the Trotters ceased to exist once they had become millionaires, if you like."
