From Peckham to the Pavilion: Sir David Jason is set to bring the wit, warmth, and chaos of Only Fools and Horses to Bournemouth Pavilion for two nights only in January 2026.

Sir David Jason is one of Britain’s most beloved and versatile actors, with a career spanning over six decades. Famed for his roles as Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses, Granville in Open All Hours, and Detective Inspector Frost in A Touch of Frost, he has become a household name both on-screen and in voice.

His new show, An Evening with Sir David Jason, will hit Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on 17 and 18 January 2026, with no other performances of the show scheduled nationally.

Celebrated for his comedic timing, dramatic depth, and unforgettable characters, Sir David has won numerous awards, including BAFTAs and a National Television Award, and is widely regarded as a true National Treasure of British television.

Through a mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, Sir David takes the audience on a journey from his early days in amateur dramatics to becoming one of Britain’s most treasured actors.

Hosted by BBC presenter Mike Bushell, the evening promises hilarious stories from life in the spotlight, rare clips from his extraordinary career, and behind-the-scenes secrets that have never been shared before.

He'll also reveal how a combination of chance encounters, dedication, and a touch of luck led to the creation of some of British television’s most iconic characters.

Audiences will discover how Del Boy’s character evolved beyond the writers’ vision, how Sir David crafted unforgettable performances across a diverse range of roles, and how he brought animated legends such as Danger Mouse, The BFG, Count Duckula, and Toad to life - sometimes inspired by nothing more than a single image.

Fans can also relive some of the most iconic moments in British TV history, including Only Fools and Horses’ legendary scenes - the bar fall, chandelier disaster, and Batman and Robin escapades - with Sir David revealing the secrets, techniques, and on-set magic that made them timeless.

Audiences won’t want to miss this rare chance to spend an evening filled with laughter, nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories from a true British icon.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday, 3 October, and can be purchased from bournemouthpavilion.co.uk.
