WHEN it comes to comedy, David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst are The Dream Team. It's almost 20 years since they were first cast together as the unlikely brothers Del and Rodney Trotter.
The brilliant double act is at the heart of the best comedy British television has ever seen. Certainly, Sullivan's sensational scripts give the pair a perfect comedy platform but it's the relationship between the inspirational actors who play the benevolently battling brothers that has become our favourite source of screen laughter.
As well as having interviewed the stars themselves, Stafford Hildred and Tim Ewbank have spoken to their family and friends, and to Only Fools and Horses insiders. The result is a fascinating read that takes the reader behind the scenes of the most popular and endearing sit-com ever.
The True Story of Nicholas Lyndhurst and David Jason The Greatest TV Partnership of all Time by Stafford Hildred and Tim Ewbank is published by Blake at £16.99.
