John Challis Movies And Tv Shows

So, you're into John Challis, huh? The man's a legend, I tell ya. You know him from Only Fools and Horses, right? I mean, who doesn't? But did you know he's been in a gazillion other movies and TV shows? Let's dive in, shall we?

Before Del Boy

Before he became the nation's favorite wheeler-dealer, John was busy making a name for himself in the 70s and 80s. He popped up in all sorts of shows - Are You Being Served?, The Sweeney, even Doctor Who! Can you believe it? I mean, who knew the Doctor needed a bit of Cockney charm now and then?

And the movies? Oh, he was in those too. Remember The Bitch? No? Well, it's not exactly a feel-good flick, but it's got John in it, so it's worth a watch. If you're feeling brave, that is.

Post-Fools

After Only Fools, John was everywhere. He was in Benidorm, playing Monty Staines. Now, that's a character who knows how to enjoy himself, am I right? Sun, sea, and a bit of mischief - what's not to love?

And let's not forget Shrink. A bit of a departure for John, playing a shrink instead of a wheeler-dealer. But you know what? He nails it. Who would've thought he had it in him?

Recent Years

John's still going strong, folks. He's been in Death in Paradise, Doc Martin, even EastEnders! I mean, can you imagine Del Boy in the Queen Vic? I'd pay good money to see that.

And if you're feeling nostalgic, you can catch him in Only Fools and Horses specials. They're few and far between, but when they happen, it's like a little taste of heaven.
