Steven Woodcock, who played Jevon in has shared his favourite moment from filming the comedy sitcom. The show, led by Sir David Jason as Del Boy and Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney, is renowned for its countless humorous scenes. However, one particular scene resonates with fans and Steven alike.
During a Facebook Live interview with the 57-year-old actor reminisced about his time on the iconic series. He reflected on his most memorable Only Fools moment: "It really is and has to be the moment of seeing Del fall through the bar, I actually saw it happen. It was never originally scripted, so I was doing my lines and he was working, and a lighting man was asked by his teammates, 'Can you open the barn doors on that redhead?'."
Steven clarified that 'redhead' is an industry term for a light, which the technician promptly adjusted upon his colleague's request.
He added: "And he was standing behind the bar then. It was just a rehearsal - you get one for the camera, one for the sound, one for the actors, and lighting tends to work around you on rehearsal.
"So Del and Trigger are doing their bit, and this spark was asked to open the barn doors on the lamp."
The actor reminisced about the memorable blunder on set, revealing: "So this spark came out from behind the bar from where he was observing things, lifted up the flap and walked out, and just at that moment was when Del went to lean on the bar.
"And he went straight through the bar, and we were like, 'No, you've gotta keep that'."
He shared that Roger Lloyd-Pack, who played Trigger, had a bewildered reaction in the scene that wasn't scripted, as he was unaware of David's unexpected exit.
Steven added: "Roger was just how he played it, like, 'Well, where is he?'."
Describing his effort to maintain composure, Steven said: "I'm sitting in the auditorium doing my lines and I'm thinking Steven, 'Don't laugh, don't laugh at this situation'."
Continuing, he pointed out: "Roger, who is playing Trigger, was looking around and thinking, 'Where is he?'."
Wrapping up his nostalgic reflection, the star said: "That was my funniest moment, and although it was off set, it actually created something that when I see on TV, I think I know that moment closer than most."
Concluding with a nod to spontaneity, he affirmed: "It wasn't in the script originally, actually, it was something that happened by chance and we were like, 'Yeah, we need to keep that, it's got to go in."
