Arthur’s acting resume is nothing short of extensive. Over the years, he has been part of several well-loved television shows, including Goodnight Sweetheart , where he appeared in 1996 alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst—who, as fans will remember, played Rodney Trotter in Only Fools and Horses . From 1995 to 2001, Arthur played Derek in London’s Burning , before moving on to guest roles in Heartbeat , Holby City , Doctors , Family Affairs , Grange Hill , and The Professionals , among many others.
His work didn’t stop with traditional television dramas. More recently, Arthur lent his voice and experience to 13 Hours That Saved Britain , a documentary exploring the historic events of the Battle of Britain. Having lived through World War II and the Blitz, he shared his firsthand experiences of what life was like in London during those perilous times.
So, while David Jason might be the household name we all instantly recognize, his brother Arthur has had a remarkable and respected career in his own right. It’s fascinating to see how these two siblings have both left their mark on British television, bringing their talents to generations of viewers.
