Malt 379 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Aye he was the perfect del boy, and they worked well together12 minutes in mate! Jason was being considered for the role of Rodney Trotter up until the point the writer of Only Fools saw him in that scene! They were originally considering Jim Broadbent for the role of Del.

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 My fave scene of all time, its fletch's face haha I'm away to YouTube just now hahaThat's it mate, Barker had everything. Great acting skill and perfect comic timing. Only other comedy great with timing anywhere near his level was Eric Morecombe imo. Different type of comedy but the same skill. David Jason is another one mind.. David Jason played Blanco Webb in "Porridge", of course, just on for the many memorable minor characters, all superbly portrayed. Lukewarm, 'Orrible Ives, Bunny Warren and McLaren....and who wouldn't be terrified of Genial Harry Grout ? (What was the name of Brian Glover's character ? The really thick fella...."I read a book once.....green, it was.") Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He started out as Fletch's cell mate in series 1 along with Evans the light bulb eating Welshman.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Blanco Webb to Fletch after his parole and Fletcher telling him not to go looking for revenge against the bloke who killed his wife: "No. I know 'im what did it. It were the wife's lover. But don't worry, I shan't go round searching for him, 'e died years ago. That I do know. It were me that killed him!". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
