For three wonderful series, actor Lennard Pearce played the dirty grandfather of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. Grandpa wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box, but his sly ways and dry humor made him silence the comedian.
Normally sitting in his armchair at Nelson Mandela House, Peckham, he helped Del and Rodney earn a living by selling knock off goods. Grandfather was also known to watch two televisions at the same time, and was notorious for his terrible skills in the kitchen.
Who can forget his undercooked turkey during the Christmas Crackers episode – or his gooey gravy for that matter! Grandpa was full of hilarious one-liners that have kept fans of the sitcom in stitches since the BBC show launched in 1981.
