Christmas
Day Boycie fooling around on BBC Radio Shropshire
On
a special Christmas Day show, BBC Radio Shropshire presenter Chris
Ashley will be having a laugh with actor John Challis
of BBC ONE's Only Fools and Horses.
John,
who plays Boycie in the popular television comedy, was accompanied
by his wife Carole for the one hour segment of Chris's show - which
can be heard between 4.00 and 5.00pm.
Chris
Ashley said: "It's great to have John and Carole as our special
guests - John even slipped into Boycie mode and tried to sell me
a second-hand car!
"And
Carole is nothing like John's Only Fools and Horses character wife
Marlene. Carole is very tall, elegant, and sophisticated!"
Chris
plays some of the Shropshire-based couple's favourite tracks by
The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac,
The Move, and also some traditional carols.
John
is currently in Aladdin at the Birmingham Hippodrome with Bobby
Davro, and Only Fools and Horses fans can see John on BBC ONE as
there's a "Trotter fest" over Christmas.
The
Story of Only Fools and Horses is a documentary repeated from last
year, featuring an interview with creator John Sullivan, and there's
also a brand new episode Only Fools And Horses - Strangers on the
Shore.
The
Story of Only Fools and Horses is on BBC ONE, Friday 20 December,
8.30-9.30pm.
Only
Fools And Horses - Strangers on the Shore is on BBC ONE, Christmas
Day at 9.40pm.
Chris
Ashley's Christmas Day Show is on BBC Radio Shropshire, 96FM, Christmas
Day, 2.00-5.00pm.
