Actor John Challis wants a Friends-style TV reunion to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Only Fools and Horses this year.
Challis, 78, who played used car salesman Boycie, accepts there can never be another episode of the hit sitcom due to the death of writer John Sullivan.
But he thinks a cast reunion with stars such as David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and Tessa Peake-Jones would work.
The much-loved star feels that if the cast were to share their favourite memories of the Trotters’ misadventures, it would be a fantastic way to mark the momentous date.
When asked if he’d be keen on televised cast reunion, he said: “Yes, and I’m sure there’s a possibility for it.“
"I suppose it could happen, it would be good. We could all have lots of Botox to make ourselves look younger, like they do in America. Not that I need, of course."
Filming for the first series of Only Fools started in May 1981 and the first episode went out in September that year.
It went on to run for seven series as well as Christmas specials and a total of 64 episodes.
John admits any reunion would be tinged with sadness though because so many people from the show would be missing.
Stars such as the late Sullivan, Roger Lloyd-Pack - who played fan favourite character Trigger - and Kenneth MacDonald, who played Nag’s Head landlord Mike Fisher have both sadly passed away.
He added: “I think it might work but there’s so many people missing, that’s the problem. Roger Lloyd-Pack who played the wonderful Trigger, and of course John Sullivan who write all the stuff, it’s just awful that those people are missing."
His documentary Boycie in Belgrade, about the popularity of Only Fools in Serbia, is out on DVD and to stream from Monday.
