Sir David Jason is understood to be developing a two-part documentary celebrating the 45th anniversary of Only Fools And Horses, according to reports.
The 85-year-old actor, who portrayed the loveable market trader Del Boy throughout the iconic BBC sitcom, will reunite with several former cast members for the Gold production.
Previously unseen footage from the series will feature in the programmes, which are scheduled to broadcast next year.
Sir David remains the sole performer to have appeared in every episode of the comedy, which continues to attract devoted viewers through repeats on UKTV.

The documentary project comes as the beloved sitcom approaches a significant milestone, with the anniversary falling in 2026.
The production team is reportedly keen to secure the involvement of Nicholas Lyndhurst, who played Del Boy's younger brother Rodney throughout the series.
However, Mr Lyndhurst has notably distanced himself from recent television tributes to the sitcom and has never attended the popular annual fan conventions, unlike his fellow cast members including Sir David.
Discussions are currently taking place behind the scenes to determine whether the actor might be willing to participate in the new documentaries.

Mr Lyndhurst has enjoyed success in the United States in recent years, taking on a role in the Frasier revival opposite Kelsey Grammer.
His potential appearance would represent a significant moment for fans who have long hoped to see the on-screen brothers reunited for a special project.
A television insider told The Sun: "David is well aware of Only Fools' huge fanbase, so appreciates how much these documentaries will be lapped up.
"He's looking forward to reminiscing about old times, as well as giving away secrets about the show.

The source suggested Sir David is eager to reflect on his experiences making the programme while also revealing previously unknown details about its production.
Securing Mr Lyndhurst's participation would clearly be viewed as a major achievement for the documentary makers, given his absence from other commemorative events in recent years.
The documentary will offer an opportunity to honour cast members who have passed away in recent years, with the sitcom's fanbase having mourned several beloved performers.
