Only Fools and Horses actor Sir David Jason has spoken out about his apparent 'feud' with show co-star Nicholas Lyndhurst.
The beloved actor, 83, became an overnight sensation thanks to his depiction of 'Del Boy' in the hit BBC show which first aired in 1981.
He starred alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst who played Del Boy's hapless younger brother.
In recent years, it has been reported that there has been a rift between the pair with Sir David Jason finally speaking out about the matter.

Sir David Jason speaks out about 'feud' with Only Fools and Horses co-star Nicholas Lyndhurst
Speaking about the 'divide' between the two, Sir David Jason denied the claims, revealing that he and Nicholas Lyndhurst are actually "good friends".
According to the Mirror, he said: "You couldn’t have had a better co-partner than Nic. We liked and respected each other so much, we were genuinely good friends."
This comes as the classic programme returns to screens this month with a new 90-minute documentary called Only Fools and Horses: Greatest Christmas Moments.
The show will be broadcast on Christmas Eve with David and his on-screen wife Tess Peake-Jones (Raquel Trotter) set to appear.
Fans eager to catch a glimpse of the cast will need to tune into Channel 5 where the secrets of the award-winning show's Christmas episodes will be revealed.
In a recent interview, Sir David Jason recalled how emotional it was filming the show's last-ever scenes.
He said: "We got a standing ovation in that studio for seven minutes. They wouldn’t let us go."
He added: "I remember being in that studio and saying to the floor manager, ‘That’s it, that’s the end of Only Fools And Horses’. The whole place exploded, the audience went potty."
Only Fools and Horses: Greatest Christmas Moments will air on Channel 5 at 9pm on Christmas Eve (Sunday, December 24).
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
