Les Dennis talks Only Fools and Horses and his love for Wordle

Les Dennis, 69, on playing Grandad in the musical, working on Extras with Ricky Gervais and why he keeps going.

You’re playing Grandad in Only Fools And Horses The Musical. Are you excited?

I was so excited to get the job. The three characters, Rodney, Del Boy and Grandad, were like the holy trinity of British comedy and such an important part of our comedy culture. It still not only stands up as a great show because of the comedy but also because of the truth of the characters and the pathos. When Del says, ‘This time next year we’ll be millionaires’, you really feel for them and when that did eventually happen, everybody was in tears.
