    John Leguizamo has been cast as Del Boy in the ABC's US pilot of the TV series Only Fools and Horses.

    It only took them about 30 years but I am quite convinced that the yanks could make an absolutely terrible programme out of this.

    Meh, thought the American Office would be terrible but it actually turned out ok, can be very funny.

    Il give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it

    Guess they'll change 'During the war' to 'We won the war'.

    All they'd have to do is start from the point where it turned from a comedy into a feminist's wet dream

    Working.

    The US office is one of my fav shows, but the transition from UK office to US office is easier than East End "salesman" to US. There would have to be so much change that it would be unrecognisable

    As I said on the Hull board the other day - "Sullivan's dead and Jason thinks it'll be ****. No good can come of it"

    No John Sullivan = No Only Fools and Horses.

    They made a flop remake of Fawlty Towers by axing a character. Who was that character? Basil bloody Fawlty.

    The thing I liked most of all about Fools and Horses was David Jason's acting, he was just perfect.
