Fans react to ‘Frasier’ reboot first look with Nicholas Lyndhurst
Frasier reboot, some UK fans are struggling to look past the inclusion of Nicholas Lyndhurst.The actor, best known for playing Rodney Trotter in the sitcom Only Fools And Horses, plays Frasier’s (Kelsey Grammer) old college friend-turned-university professor Alan in the sequel series.He’s joined by Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frasier’s grown son Freddy, Toks Olagundoye as Alan’s colleague Olivia, Jess Salgueiro as Freddy’s roommate Eve, and Anders Keith as Frasier’s nephew David.Alongside Grammer, Bebe Neuwirth and Peri Gilpin will also reprise their roles, Lilith and Roz respectively, from the original series.After the first pictures and revamped theme were released on Tuesday (August 22), many reacted to Lyndhurst’s involvement on X (formerly known as Twitter).Comedian Nish Kumar wrote: “This is like seeing Jennifer Aniston pop up in the Brittas Empire.”“If you’re questioning the versatility of Nicholas Lyndhurst as an actor then you do not remember the ’90s adverts for WHSmiths,” another added.Carol Vorderman, meanwhile, wrote: “Rodney’s in the new Frasier…. I’m here for it.”You can check out more reactions below.This is like seeing Jennifer Aniston pop up in the Brittas Empire pic.twitter.com/IlD2XhOmAB— Nish Kumar (@MrNishKumar) August 22, 2023I don’t ask for much in life, but if Frasier could repeatedly call Nicholas Lyndhurst’s character “Dave” in this reboot, that would be great, thank you.— Jason (@NickMotown) August 23, 2023I'm joining the wave of love & appreciation for Nicholas Lyndhurst.I loved watching Frasier, but not sure I would have sought out the reboot had it not been for Lyndhurst's starring role.

Kelsey Grammer says ‘Frasier’ reboot could be “funnier than the original”
Frasier reboot “may even be funnier” than the original.Back in 2021, Grammer confirmed that the American sitcom was being revived on Paramount+, in which he is returning in the title role of psychiatrist Frasier Crane.The show originally ran for 11 seasons between 1993 and 2004 after being created as a spin-off for hit ’80s series Cheers.The reboot, however, will not feature David Hyde Pierce, who played Frasier’s brother Niles, or the late John Mahoney, who played his father Martin. New castings include Only Fools and Horses actor Nicholas Lyndhurst, and Jack Cutmore-Scott, who will play Frasier’s adult son, Frederick.Speaking about what to expect from the reboot in a new interview with The Independent, Grammer suggested that the brand new dynamics could result in a show that “may even be funnier” than the original.“An entire [US] audience is gonna suddenly know who this guy is, who hasn’t known before,” Grammer said of Lyndhurst, who he described as “arguably one of the great actors of the UK” and a “great friend” of his.“So there’s a lot of positive energy around the casting of it.”Speaking about Cutmore-Scott, Grammar recalled: “At first, you cast these people, you’ve never seen them before.
