Aspel & Company - David Jason Interview (1989)

David's appearance on here was also during the time Series 6 of Only Fools and Horses was airing on BBC One. It was the first series to be in the 50 minute format on a Sunday night, and it was the time the show sky rocketed in the ratings, gaining around 16 to 18 million viewers per episode in 1989, with the 1989 Christmas special getting a whopping 20 million viewers.

This Aspel and Co edition aired on the night before the episode "Chain Gang" of Only Fools aired on BBC One on Sunday 22nd January 1989, the episode where they try to buy gold chains from what turns out to be a con man.

When I think of my favorite period of Delboy; it's David at this age. ^_^

Watching Michael Aspel reminds me of a talk show host from Ireland who I feel had a similar cold style of interviewing, a man called Pat Kenny, who hosted Kenny Live 1988 to 1999 and then took over Ireland's big Late Late Show for 1999 to 2009. I just remembered Pat Kenny when I saw Michael's interviewing style.

Trig's daughter was dead fit.

Just keep thinking Michael Aspel is interviewing Del Boy! 🙈😂

That was a brilliant watch, just felt like I was watching extra footage of delboy

Nicola Pagett was so beautiful ♥️

Anyone watching in 2026, this will make sense one day.

I remember Do not adjust your set.
It was on children’s TV!

Dithers sounded like wurzel gummidge lol

When dies its all gonna come out about him.. another bbc sociopath

Also David’s story about the wind up he and Nicholas did to Buster Merryfield where they told everyone Buster was a clay-based human rather than carbon based!!!!!!!!
