(John Challis) comes to the Queen’s Hall Arts Centre in Hexham
Only Fools and Boycie

Only Fools and Horses star John Challis, a household name
for his portrayal of used car dealer Boycie in the hit TV show, is coming to
Hexham with his one-man theatre show, on tour nationally this autumn.
John, who has also appeared in ITV comedy Benidorm, and
headlined the Only Fools spin-off comedy The Green Green Grass, will be
visiting more than 30 theatres between September 12 and November 11 and is
stopping off in Hexham on Tuesday 24 September.
The show draws on anecdotes and behind-the scenes secrets
from John’s colourful career which spans more than 50 years, in theatre, on
television, and in several movies.
John says: “In the show, I talk about my Only Fools and
Horses co-stars like Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, my memorable
encounter with The Beatles, and recall tales from my time in Dr Who, Coronation
Street and other TV classics. And afterwards, I stop to sign autographs and pose
for selfies. I’ve been so lucky to be
part of something like Only Fools and Horses, and I never forget that it’s the
people who turned their tellies on, who put us where we are.“
“It’s great to get the chance to go out on the road and
meet the people who have been following us for so long. Even after all this
time there is still such a huge love for the show, and it’s rarely off our TV
screens. I have also been lucky enough to
appear in Benidorm, which has turned into another cult show, and one of my
fondest TV memories was appearing alongside Tom Baker in what has become one of
the famous Doctor Who stories. So there
are no shortage of tales to tell from my career – but I also like to open up
part of the second half of the show to the audience, so they can ask me
questions.”
The show also includes a chance to meet and greet John at
the end of the performance, for autographs and pictures.
