It was more a red face than a red sofa on BBC Breakfast this morning, thanks to Only Fools and Horses star Sir David Jason.
The 85-year-old sat down with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt to discuss his illustrious comedy career, during which he couldn’t help but get distracted by Naga.
Indeed, the legendary actor left a blushing Naga in fits of laughter, with the star clearly finding the TV presenter ‘lovely jubbly’.
Just as he was about to share an anecdote from his illustrious career, Sir David remarked, ‘It’s Naga, I just can’t keep my eyes off her!’
A red-faced Naga then asked the star ‘Do you always do as you’re told?’
After he refused to spill any details about his latest project, saying he was under strict orders to keep it under wraps. Smiling, David said, ‘Oh, Naga! Yes, I will, for certain people. Not you, Charlie!’
Viewers at home wasted no time sharing their reactions on social media after the interview aired.
Some commented that they found the interaction ‘creepy’ with Gary Robinson writing on X that David was ‘nothing short of creepy on @BBCBreakfast this morning – national treasure of not’.
One viewer went as far as to post ‘Poor old sod…time for a nap I think!’ with another referring to Sir David as a ‘randy old goat’, with a fourth person commenting that ‘That piece with David Jason was way too long’.
X user Ruth Green commented that ‘I enjoy David Jason’s work, but I had to switch off the interview as it was so embarrassing. Well done to Naga for being dignified.’
However, there was some praise for Sir David, 85, with one X user writing, ‘Lovely to see Sir David Jason, a great example of decency, hard work and hilarious TV for decades. A bright spot in this programme today.’
Others added that ‘Sir David Jason is a legend’ and that he was an ‘absolute delight’
The comedy star clearly only had eyes for Naga, issuing a jaunty ‘See you later!’ as she was left giggling, leaving her co-star Charlie to wrap up proceedings.
As well as entertaining with anecdotes from his 60 years in show business, he was also promoting his forthcoming tour, An Evening With Sir David Jason.
This event will see Sir David reflect on his long career, and he’ll be joined by special guests.
Sir David made quite the impression from the start on the segment, with Charlie commenting that: ‘Can I just describe for the viewers who are watching this morning, you make an entrance.
‘I was quite impressed. As you came into our studio a moment ago, you were saying hello to everyone. You know how to make an entrance, would that be fair to say?’
It was clear to see that the actor was equally impressed with his co-stars, but he only had eyes for one of the presenting duo.
