Only Fools and Horses to return for a one-off sketch The BBC has confirmed that the hugely popular and seemingly undying sitcom Only Fools and Horses will return to television this March in a one-off sketch for the BBC's biennial money-raising evening, Sport Relief. The sketch will see the return to the screen of dodgy dealer Del Boy, played by David Jason, and his younger brother Rodney, played by Nicholas Lyndhurst. The last Only Fools episode was a Christmas special in 2003 called Sleepless in Peckham. Further details on plotline and casting for the upcoming sketch will be released in the coming weeks. It is unlikely it will ever reel in figures to match Only Fools and Horses, however. The comedy, which first aired in 1981, has been consistently voted the most popular British sitcom of all time. In 1996 its Christmas Special, Time on our Hands, was watched by 24.3million people, the highest ever audience for a sitcom.
