An Evening with Sir David Jason
Sir David Jason takes to the stage with a brand-new show, joined by presenter Mike Bushell (BBC Breakfast), for an unforgettable evening of fun, laughter, and never-before-heard stories.
From Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, The Darling Buds of May, A Touch of Frost and many more, David shares rare clips, behind-the-scenes secrets, and the moments that shaped his career.
Through hilarious anecdotes and personal reflections, he takes the audience on a journey – from his early days in amateur dramatics to becoming one of Britain’s most beloved actors. He reveals how chance encounters, hard work, and a little luck led him to create some of the most iconic TV characters in British history.
Discover how Del Boy’s character evolved beyond the writer’s original vision, how he crafted unique performances for his diverse roles, and how he brought legendary animated characters like Danger Mouse, The BFG, Count Duckula, and Toad to life—sometimes with just a single image as inspiration.
Relive some of the most unforgettable moments in British TV history, including the legendary Only Fools and Horses scenes – the Bar Fall, The Jolly Boys Outing, Batman and Robin, and more. David takes you behind the curtain, revealing the secrets, techniques, and on-set magic that made these moments so timeless.
Join Sir David Jason for an evening of nostalgia, laughter, and exclusive insights into a career that has left an indelible mark on British television. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear from a true national treasure – don’t miss it!
