Great to see so many of the original cast are on board for this, but I still get the feeling that watching the show is going to be a bitter sweet experience. The fact that David Jason now looks older than Ronnie Barker ever did when playing Arkwright is somewhat surreal and almost sad in a way, as it is when you see anyone that you remember as being youthful looking frail. However, the fact that so many of the original people are involved should make it feel fairly authentic and with Roy Clarke at the helm at least you're guaranteed a sympathetic story. I will be watching for sure, but I will reserve my final judgement until after it has been aired. Let's hope it's more of a celebration than a sad look back at what once was.
