David Jason: Great Right?

[MuteBanana]

He was and still is Granville. He was Del Boy and Count Duckula and Dangermouse and Toad from Wind in The Willows. He was the classic BFG we all remember. He was Detective Jack Frost. He was Pa Larkin. And more. The Royal Bodyguard.

David Jason just leathering out stunning, varied, character performances one after another.

Not bad.

[Vodka Margarine]

I'm not massively keen on OFAH and I wouldn't touch Still Open All Hours with yours but you're right. He is, hang on.... *checks news* .... yep, is a terrific bastard of an actor.

[canadagoose]

He certainly is a great actor. Gave me a lot of laughs in OFAH alone.

[Sherringford Hovis]

A shit Rincewind though.

[MuteBanana]

Still Open All Hours has been running for 5 years now.

[Kryton]

Genuinely good actor in some genuinely good roles. I quite like him. I quite like OFAH too. Now't wrong with that eh?

[Bennett Brauer]

Not forgetting his poignant performance as the parole-refusing Blanco Webb in Porridge.

[Captain Z]

Delby from Only Fools Of Houses and Inspector Morse will be remembered forever. Legend. RIP.

Pre Death tribute. Daryl Johnson is still about

[Absorb the anus burn]

Can't stand him. Makes my skin crawl.

Two first names, the greedy cunt

[Dex Sawash]

I lived down the road from Rick Jason off COMBAT!


Edit- nm, it was Jack Hogan off COMBAT!

[Rev+]

National treasure stuff within his range, but he needs to stay the fuck away from Discworld.

[tookish]

He reminds me strongly of my late and very missed grandfather. I've been taking comfort in his performances over the last eleven months since I lost Granddad. Especially his exceptional performance as Toad.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Haven't liked him since that story came out about him burping in a make up girl's face on purpose.

[Malcy]

He nearly died while being swept out to see years and years ago. I forget when it was it the exact circumstances but the fact he is alive now is a bit of a miracle.

It's in his autobiography, pages of which hilariously ended up in the middle of the last Bridget Jones book due to a printing error!

Two first names, the greedy cunt

Didn't anyone else get told never to trust a man with a first name for a last name? This advice specified men too, so someone like Vicki Michele is totally trustworthy or whatever.

Yes and he was saved by Rod Jane and Freddy, who are lifeguards for drowning 80s celebrities.

[buzby]

Just don't mention his friends at the flying club.

Women could just get married and we'd never know whether they grew up as the owner of a first name for a last name.  The cunning little vixens.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Goodnight Javid Dason

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

I prefer his early work ( Do Not Adjust Your Set, The Secret File Of Edgar Briggs, Lucky Feller, The Film Version of "The Odd Job" ). When he fell through the bar, he fell off the radar for me.

[DistressedArea]

A star of the 4:3 era who just never looked right in 16:9.

Very sad.

[MuteBanana]

Been watching all of A Touch of Frost you see. He loves his curries don't he?

One episode he joins a gym and asks the trainer to stay late past her shift to give him some help. Because of his job and that. He stands her up twice. When he finally shows up to the gym he asks her out to dinner. She says yeah. Half his age an all. Absolute lad that Frost.

I was always taught that someone with two first names is a wrong 'un and ever to trust 'em.  The evidence in addition:

Chris Martin.
John Leslie.
Moby Dick.
Paul Nicholas.

Was him standing her up part of his plan to get her to go to dinner with him?

I reckon A Touch of Frost would go for a curry in a cheap curry house.

His standards must be low considering he cooks all his meals in the microwave. But he was living above an Indian restaurant for a bit so all his dinners were in there.

I don't think it was planned. He's very forgetful and obsessed with his job.

[Neville Chamberlain]

I preferred him in In The Thick Of It All.
