Sir David Jason says he reached out to comfort Nicholas Lyndhurst after son's tragic death
The strong bond between Del Boy and Rodney Trotter that millions loved has been carried over into real life - with Sir David Jason offering support when Nicholas Lyndhurst needed it. Sir David has been there for actor Nicholas following the death of his son Archie in 2020 caused by a condition called Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukaemia.
Looking back fondly on their time on screen, which is loved by millions, he adds: "We had such a wonderful working relationship and we became quite close friends, which is not that unusual for me, but it does become a bit unusual for partnerships in general, of television or film series because sometimes you've got two personalities that were perhaps quite individual and quite dominant in their own worlds, their own career, both on separate paths.
Sir David was giving an interview to promote his new memoir and also spoke about his growing relationship with daughter Abi he didn't know existed for 52 years.
