Best Of David
Some questions I am comfortable with, not because I know the answer, but because they seem answerable, but defining my favourite David Jason piece of acting? That’s got to be one of the hardest questions out there, ever! That’s just cruel, isn’t it? Once you’ve got over the initial shock, tell the world what you think by clicking the above link.
This question brought me out in a cold sweat when I first read it; I had to watch a few re-runs of Fools And Horses to get me into the right frame of mind…
If I don’t choose Del Boy, you see, one side of my brain kicks up a huge fuss, but if I do choose Del Boy, then the other side kicks off; I’ve always loved Detective Frost, how can you not? But they’re both so different–so how does one decide upon the answer?
I considered it like this: who would I prefer to go for a drink with, Del Boy or Frost, if I had a once in a life time chance. Now, without even thinking it through I found myself saying “Del Boy of course!” but wait–Del Boy never had any money on him, did he? And if he did then that money would likely be stolen, or dodgy somehow, goes without saying. But what about Frost? He might buy you a drink but he’d probably be moaning the whole time about a case he couldn’t crack, or his superior giving him jip–
But no, even though it’d probably get me arrested I’d have to go with the one and only Del Boy, I think. Because if Del Boy came along then maybe, just maybe, Granddad would come along too–and maybe even Trigger if it was a really good day!
Got to love Del Boy, what’s your thought?
