‘Frasier’ star teases ‘Only Fools And Horses’ reunion: “It makes sense”

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer has teased a possible Only Fools And Horses reunion in an upcoming episode of the sitcom.Last year, it was announced that Nicholas Lyndhurst, who played Rodney Trotter in Only Fools And Horses, had joined the case of the Paramount+ revival of Frasier, which originally ran on NBC from 1993 to 2004.He plays Professor Alan Cornwall, an old schoolfriend of titular character Frasier Crane from Oxford University who now teaches psychology at Harvard.After Lyndhurst’s casting was announced, many Only Fools And Horses fans suggested arranging a reunion with involvement from Sir David Jason – or Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter in the classic BBC sitcom.

And speaking to Metro, Grammer didn’t rule out the possibility altogether.“It makes sense,” he said. “Who knows? I mean, he could just walk by and say ‘Dipstick’, couldn’t he?

It might be really fun to have Alan maybe watching it, watching the old show or something?”He continued, “There’s any number of ways to maybe make that connection, because, of course it is a nostalgic show and Nick has such a huge, huge presence in the UK – with good reason!

He’s one of the best actors who ever lived. There’s no question about his abilities and he’s beloved, so we’ll mine that as much as we possibly can.“He’s remarkable.
