Nicholas Lyndhurst - National Treasure

Nicholas Lyndhurst is a beloved actor who has entertained us for decades with his versatile and charming performances. Here are five reasons why we love him:

He made us laugh as the hapless Rodney Trotter in Only Fools and Horses, one of the most popular and acclaimed British sitcoms of all time.

He intrigued us with his time-travelling adventures as the bigamist Gary Sparrow in Goodnight Sweetheart, a unique and clever comedy that spanned two eras.

He impressed us with his range of roles in other shows such as New Tricks, Rock & Chips, Butterflies, and The Two of Us.

He surprised us with his comeback in the revival of the US sitcom Frasier, where he plays a British expat who becomes friends with Frasier Crane.
