Derek
Trotter, or Del Boy, is a loveable Cockney rogue and wheeler
dealer. He spent the 1980s and early 1990s slaving away in
the Peckham
badlands with his market stall creaking under the weight of
dodgy gear.
However
his luck changed in 1996
when an antique watch hidden in his garage made him an overnight
millionaire. He lived the high life for 5 years before losing
it all in 2001
due to a stock market crash.
David
Jason has been famous for a very long time - first lodging
himself in public consciousness in Open All Hours as
Granville in 1973. Prior to this big break Jason performed
on stage in the West End before gaining a place on the Monty
Python precursor Do Not Adjust Your Set.

Rodney, you plonker

Jason can't have slipped off anyone's radar unless they've
been living under a rock. Every year it seems he wins a most
loved TV icon award somewhere. Recent credits include playing
Inspector Frost in A Touch of Frost, and taking the
starring role in Micawber. He also, no doubt, contributed
to the phenomenal success of The Darling Buds of May
(leaving aside Catherine Zeta Jones's obvious charms).
