As a new series celebrates his incredible career, Sir David Jason tells TV Times why looking back has been bittersweet…

Selecting material for the comprehensive career retrospective David Jason: My Life on Screen, must have been terribly difficult for its producers, because there’s simply so much great work to choose from.

The three-part series on GOLD looks back on Sir David’s 50-year career, from cult ITV series Do Not Adjust Your Set in 1967 to taking the lead role in the hit revival of BBC1 sitcom Open All Hours.

Here, David, 77, tells us more…

Your glorious CV spans more than half a century and you’re still as popular as ever. How does that make you feel?

I’ve been in the entertainment business all my adult life, so the idea of still reaching people through my work is a joy to behold.

Did you enjoy making this series?

Absolutely. But the journey has been a little difficult at times because you look at yourself now and then they keep showing you pictures of you when you were younger… That’s been quite a hard pill to swallow.
