Who Died From Only Fools And Horses

So, I was down the local the other day, and I bumped into this old bloke, right? He was telling me about how he used to watch "Only Fools and Horses" with his grandkids. I mean, who didn't, am I right? It was a classic. But then he said something that made me think, "You know, I always wondered what happened to the actors after the show ended." And that got me thinking too, you know?

I mean, we all loved the Trotters, didn't we? Del Boy, Rodney, Uncle Albert, and even Trigger. But what happened to the actors who played them? Did they retire? Did they move on to other projects? Or did they, well, you know, kick the bucket? Let's dive in, shall we?

Sir David Jason - Del Boy

Let's start with the main man himself, Del Boy. Well, I've got some good news for you. Sir David Jason, the man behind the iconic catchphrase "This time next year, we'll be millionaires!", is very much alive and kicking. In fact, he's still acting! Can you believe it? He's been in "Still Open All Hours" since 2013. I mean, the man's a national treasure, isn't he?

But here's a fun fact for you. Did you know that David Jason was offered the role of another iconic character, Alan Partridge? Yes, you heard it right. But he turned it down. I mean, can you imagine Del Boy saying, "Hello, hello, hello, what do we have here?" instead of "Hello, I'm Alan Partridge"?

Nicholas Lyndhurst - Rodney

Now, let's talk about Rodney. Nicholas Lyndhurst, the man who played our favorite little brother, is also still with us. Phew, right? He's been in a few things since "Only Fools and Horses" ended, like "Goodnight Sweetheart" and "New Tricks". But here's something you might not know. Nicholas Lyndhurst is actually a bit of a racing enthusiast. Who would've thought, huh?

And get this, he once won a Formula Ford race at Silverstone. I mean, talk about a change of pace from the Trotters' three-wheeled van, right?

Buster Merryfield - Uncle Albert

Alright, let's talk about Uncle Albert. Now, this one's a bit of a sad story, I'm afraid. Buster Merryfield, the actor who played our favorite forgetful uncle, passed away in 1999. He was 78 years old. But here's something that might make you smile. He was actually knighted in 1996 for his services to drama. Not a bad legacy to leave behind, is it?

And did you know that Buster Merryfield was also a bit of a war hero? He served in the Royal Navy during World War II. I mean, talk about a life full of adventure, huh?

Roger Lloyd-Pack - Trigger

Finally, let's talk about Trigger. Roger Lloyd-Pack, the man who played our favorite road sweeper with the incredible memory, also passed away in 2014. He was 69. But here's something that might make you laugh. Roger Lloyd-Pack actually played a character called "Oz" in "The Young Ones". I mean, can you imagine Trigger saying, "You're a waste of space, you are!" instead of "You know, it's a nice day for a bananafish, Trigger."?

And here's a fun fact for you. Roger Lloyd-Pack was actually a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. I mean, who would've thought, right?

So there you have it, folks. A little trip down memory lane, and a peek into what happened to our favorite "Only Fools and Horses" actors. It's been a blast, hasn't it? Here's to hoping we'll see more of them, or at least their characters, in the future. Cheers!
