Paul Whitehouse has dedicated the first performance of the Only Fools And Horses musical since the pandemic closed theatres to the late John Challis.
Whitehouse, who plays Grandad in the West End stage version of the beloved sitcom, said he hoped the cast could pay a “fitting tribute” to the actor.
Challis, best-known for his portrayal of unscrupulous second-hand car dealer Boycie, died in September from cancer at the age of 79.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Whitehouse said: “It is very poignant because John Challis very sadly passed away recently. We are going to dedicate tonight’s performance to John.
