The actor has confirmed he would like the opportunity to reprise the role of the Only Fools and Horses wheeler dealer.

The actor, who became a household name in Ronnie Barker sitcom, Open all Hours, and is also much-loved as a dedicated detective in A Touch of Frost, told The Sun: “I’ve always loved Del Boy, who is such a wonderful loser.

“I would love to revisit him; I need someone to write me a script.”

And in the words of Derek himself, he who dares – wins.

Here’s hoping.
