I loved David Jason as an actor. He was brilliant in Only Fools And Horses and many other programmes. The Royal Bodyguard was pure shit. This made me lose respect for David Jason. He is a cunt now. Crap show. Axe it. Nobody likes it.
@MrRobertJameson Why is it not funny? I liked watching 'frost' alot, i'm in Florida, i just found out about this new comedy, what' wrong with it in your opinion? we do not have it here
This program is terrible. One of the worst. It's bad because it really has no excuse to be shit. You can tell it cost money, the production is fine, it has good actors, but the premise is so brain-hurtingly moronic that it insults everyone involved - especially the audience. Are we really supposed to believe that a 70-year-old man is going to be a bodyguard? That he can hang on to the edge of a hotel? Every joke is pathetic. This makes me think that the BBC is run by morons. Please, do better.
Even more dire than I expected. What was he thinking taking on a piece of garbage like this? He should have seen it for the manure it was the moment he read the script. I've never rated 'Frost' either, I just can't take him seriously with so many facial expressions echoing Del Boy. If this tripe gets a 2nd series it'll only be because the BBC want to keep David Jason sweet after luring him back. Even 'Rodder's' and 'Trig' would see this for the crap it is. 'Bonette de douche' it ain't, my son!
TYPICAL BBC SHITE! I have NEVER paid the nazi styled TV license! Don't encourage this waste of cash...
The BBC needs to get a grip! Whoever 'Green-lights' this PISH should be SHOT!
Delboy, remain on DAVE repeats on cable! Your sell by date has long expired! It's the Emperors new clothes!
If you feed the public shit, they will eat it, however some of us like to see quality. The futures bright because this old school nonsense will soon be overtaken by commercial TV.
please show some respect,this man is a true legend,hes really putting himself out there with this show,sir david jason has made me laugh so much throughout my life,he is a fine actor and i for one will always appreciate him.
Terrible, bad writing and bad acting, very predictable, Jason chooses his roles carefully and genuinely considers this a true comedy classic and is proud of it.
Sorry Jason, you have had it as an actor, time to hang up the pork pie hat and the cockney accent mate the public are now tired of you
the second episode was a bit better...sometimes..in parts..you have to remember that even top comedy actors dont have a hit with everything..remember the brilliant leonard rossiter, star of rising damp, after that finished he made the forgetful "trippers day"...say no more.
@spinout3 Jason has been very lucky in his roles, writers and supporting cast as Rigsby would say the whole show is a scrub out.
The writing is hackneyed and you can see the jokes coming before the actors. This series is dreadful and reminds me of when Eddie Izzard did that comedy about cows.
The problem is the BBC is plugging it to the hilt and will not allow it to die without trace which I fear is counter productive.
In the U.S they would have pulled it and saved his blushes
Please give this chance. If TV History has taught us anything I want you all to remember that Only Fools & Horses didn't reach it's great popularity until 1987-1989 period. Now look at it. The Royal Bodygaurd was very enjoyable but things can only get better. Remember David Jason is the Star of this and everything he touches turns to TV Gold. We can't have miracles and since the loss of John Sullivan this year David Jason will never reach that success again but this the right veichle for him.
Firstly I want to thank all of you who do like this Show. Maybe the Johnny English sort of Comedy is all the range now. I thought it was wonderful to see David Jason back at the BBC and doing Comedy, nothing at all wrong with this apart from not having a Studio Audiance Laughter Track. This is a Family Show and as time went on Only Fools & Horses developed that and looking back so have Open All Hours and The Darling Buiuds Of May. Now and again Frost maintained Comic Undertones. Give it chance.
@FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW It is dreadful and allowing it to live on is just embarrassing.
Only Fools and Horses, Are you Being Served and Father Ted were no instant hits, but they were funny, they simply did not have the following.
Whereas this started with a big following and lost millions. People want to like David Jason's stuff because they like him hence they do not want to see him doing anything that shows him in a bad light
We want to laugh with him as an actor not at him as an individual
I will give this series a chance but looking at the first episode the Comedy is missing. It tries to be a Naked Gun / Inspector Clouseau / Johnny English but fails.
I do agree with some of the other comments on here comedy has moved on since Del Boy
To say this is a cynical, second rate copy of Inspector Clouseau might be a little unfair but it is a tribute to the great, bumbling French detective at the very least. On second thoughts - no - it is just a copy.
terrilbe program. It made me cringe, i could'nt watch all of it. The last time david jason was funny was 1993 in the last GOOD only fools. Fatal Extraction. Although he was good in frost. Think he should knock it on the head now, its getting embarrassing
@jaggass well yes he's still acting, but hes acting in shit. He just has'nt got it anymore. I'm a massive fan of his but hes not the actor he was back in the eighties or ninties. Certainly in comedy anyway.
I thought it was good and although he wasn't the role was similar to Delboy so how the hell can people not like it, David Jason it was the best show on at Christmas and I salute you and thank you
@93DOL how on earth was it similar to Delboy you have just flushed only fools and horses down the pan with that statement and it shows what the hell you know or DONT.
@KingHotdog It's my opinion that the role he plays reminds me of the antics delboy would perhaps get up to, it's only the first episode it took fans ages to fall in love with Only Fools and Horses
lots of people are jumping on the i hate this show wagon because it is not a interlectual show well the slapsick elements were funny and overal a show for the adolts to enjoy and the children , so criticks dont put your failed lives in to a enjoable show just becuase your carrers have gone down the toilet
@freshpbluessoul stop trying to be a hero the ratings showed that people tuned in to give it a chance then hundreds of thousands changed the channel WHY because it just wasnt appealing and its nothing to do with Delboy he gets loads of viewers with a touch of frost so people need to stop using the Delboy excuse IT WAS CRAP PLAIN AND SIMPLE
Watched it last night. pretty good. he looks exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. how does he do it? without the make up and hair dye he looks his age. David Jason best actor in the world
@thundertid lets hope its not! only fools is the greatest comedy show ever! and david jason has not been in a comedy show since then. he himself agreed to the script thought it was fun etc so its got to be good
This fail of a sitcom deserves to go into the garbage.
It is one of the worst in history.
Sorry David jason, you WERE a good actor.
Cheap programme for cheap laughs.
