24's Jack Bauer outsmarted by Only Fools and Horses' Del Boy

Only Fools and Horses' Del Boy may have seen his share of action in the streets of Peckham, but his credentials as a TV tough guy hardly match those of 24's Jack Bauer. However, it appears that the BBC comedy has seen off the US thriller by securing Shepherd's Bush Market as a location ahead of the Kiefer Sutherland series. The Sun reports that the BBC booked the market to shoot its one-off Only Fools... special on key dates that US producers wanted to film there. A source told the paper: "It was the perfect venue – and Bauer usually gets what he wants. But he's clearly never been up against Del before." Scenes of Bauer on the run from a CIA agent have already been shot in London's Aldgate – Monkey hopes he is as successful in evading the authorities as Del Boy.
