With the news that Sir David Jason is reportedly set to take part in a documentary about Only Fools and Horses, we have taken a look back at when the BBC sitcom headed to Ipswich. 

Film crews ventured to Seymour Road, near St Mary at Stoke Church in the Suffolk town, as part of an episode in November 1987.

National news reports that 83-year-old Sir David will feature in the new documentary, which is to air on Channel 5. 

Sir David played Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter and, since leaving the show behind, he regularly attends Only Fools and Horses fan conventions.

The Trotter family will reunite for the Christmas special, reflecting on the much-loved series that started in 1981.

Only Fools and Horses finished in 2003 after 64 episodes, having cemented its status as one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time.

The Channel 5 documentary will see Sir David return to TV for the first time since his hip replacement, according to a source from the Sun: "Producers were delighted when David was passed fit to appear following his surgery, so the special will be cushty for fans."

Sir David previously discussed his role on Only Fools and Horses, sharing to 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.

"As a show, it’s very important we don’t forget about it, it has a huge following, it fills in that need for an awful lot of people."
