Sir David Jason talks about his career with rare clips, joined by BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell.
Sir David Jason is coming to The Regent Theatre on Sunday 7 March 2027, for a live talk rather than a play. He'll be joined on stage by BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell, whose questioning gives the whole evening a conversational feel. Over the course of about two hours and 50 minutes, Jason walks the audience through his working life, starting from his early amateur dramatics and moving through the decades he spent at the top of British television.
Much of the night is about the craft of acting. He explains how Del Boy grew beyond the writer's original vision for the character, and how he approached the vocal demands of the animated roles he took on — Danger Mouse, The BFG, Count Duckula and Toad, sometimes working from a single reference image. Rare clips run throughout, with close-ups on Only Fools and Horses moments like the bar fall, the Jolly Boys' Outing and the Batman and Robin sequence, alongside Open All Hours, The Darling Buds of May and A Touch of Frost. It's a mix of nostalgia and a look at how he actually worked.

The talk is aimed at ages 12 and up, and it runs for nearly three hours, so it's a proper evening out rather than a quick drop-in. Tickets go from £51.48 to £172.60, and the show starts at 19:30 at The Regent Theatre, Piccadilly, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 1AP.
