Paul Barber believes any new 'Only Fools and Horses' episode must deal with the real-life death of Roger Lloyd-Pack.
The 62-year-old actor plays Denzil in the classic sitcom and although he is excited about the rumours there could be a new instalment he believes the show can't be the same following the passing of Roger, who portrayed dimwitted cleaner Trigger, in January.
Paul insists Trigger's absence must be a key part of the plot in any comeback show.
When asked if it would be hard to bring the comedy back without Roger, Paul told BANG Showbiz: "Exactly, yeah. If they do bring it back, you're going to have to be showing Roger in flashbacks. The scenario could be that you have all the surviving cast members sitting in the Nag's Head and everybody is reminiscing about Trigger and it cuts to famous scenes.
"Personally, I think it would be hard for a lot of the actors because anybody who's worked with Roger knew how talented he was. You know, he was classically trained, he could do Shakespeare. It was always a buzz going into rehearsals knowing that Roger was in the scene. I used to love doing my scenes with Roger. Anybody who's ever worked with Roger looked forward to it because you just never knew how he was going to deliver his line."
The actor - who can be seen playing Captain Jack in the next episode of 'Death In Paradise' - is definitely up for reprising his role as Denzil again.
However, Paul insists he is always the last to know if there is going to be another 'Only Fools and Horses' and only found out that Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst had reprised their roles as Del Boy and Rodney for an upcoming Sport Relief sketch with David Beckham when he saw it on TV.
He said: "I didn't even know about the 'Sport Relief' sketch with Beckham until I saw a photo on the news. I am always the last one to know about 'Fools and Horses', whether we're going again or another special or anything else. It's just like Denzel's character, I'm always being stitched up, you know what I mean? One time I was in a taxi in London somewhere and the taxi driver said to me, 'Oh so you're going to be doing more 'Only Fools and Horses' then.' And I said, 'I don't know.' By the time I got home that day there was a message on my answering machine from my manager saying, 'Get down to Bristol we're going again.'
He jokingly added: "But you know, we've made so many comebacks we're beginning to sound like Frank Sinatra!"
'Death In Paradise' continues on Tuesday 18 February at 9pm on BBC One.

Simon Cowell has painted the skyline of London across his son's nursery.
The 54-year-old music mogul has had famous landmarks - including the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament - splashed across the walls of his first child Eric's bedroom because he's keen for the tiny tot to grow up knowing his British heritage.
Eric - who was born on Friday (14.02.14) in New York - will be spending a lot of time in the US as his mother Lauren Silverman is American, but he'll also have a home in the UK too.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Simon is a true Brit and wants to make sure Eric grows up knowing he has a home in the UK as much as the States."
The couple are considering sending Eric to a school in the UK as the 'X Factor' boss is adamant his son will speak with an English accent, rather than an American one, and they want him to be around his godmother Sinitta and grandmother Julie, who reside in England.
The source explained: "Simon has made no secret that he would like Eric to have an English accent, rather than an American one. The lad's granny, Julie, lives in England as do lots of Simon's friends, including Sinitta.
"There is also talk about sending Eric to school in the UK."
The proud parents took the newborn home from hospital on Sunday (16.02.14), but Simon is expected to return to the UK later this week for the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions.

Kelly Brook has reportedly split from her boyfriend.
The 34-year-old star has been inseparable from David McIntosh - who appeared as Tornado on the UK TV game show 'Gladiators' in 2008 - recently, but she's reportedly dumped him after just six weeks of dating because she believed he was only with her for the fame.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Kelly got tired of the relationship and David trying to hog the limelight.
"She realised he was enjoying the fame a bit too much and wasn't as serious about her as she thought. Kelly decided it was better to end things now than carry on."
The busty brunette deleted all the photographs of them together from her Instagram account last night (17.02.14) but, so far, the former Royal Marines commando has kept the loved-up snaps on his page.
Kelly and David, 27, struck up a romance last month after meeting each other at a New Year's Eve party at her bar, the Steam and Rye, in London, and the pair have since been showing off their new relationship at a number of star-studded events.
It is believed the hunky Iraq war veteran is Kelly's first boyfriend since she ended her seven-month relationship with Danny Cipriani, whom she had been in an on/off relationship with since 2008, last August after he allegedly cheated on her.

John Legend predicted his song 'All of Me' would be the biggest of his career so far.
The singer, who performed the romantic ballad at The Grammy Awards last month, said the show was a "game-changer" and it helped to make it a hit.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The song was doing pretty well, it was making its way up the chart, but it went up dramatically after The Grammys.
"It went from number 49 on the iTunes chart to number three. I always told the record label that this was going to be the biggest song from this album and I thought it would probably be the biggest song of my career to this point.
"And as of now it just reached that point on the US chart and several international charts."
John was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for his record 'Love in the Future' but missed out to Alicia Keys for her album 'Girl on Fire'.
However, he insists he's not bitter, having won nine awards at the ceremony in the past.
He said: "We were all in a good mood after The Grammys, just from the success of the night.
"All the response from my performance had been so good and it was just pretty euphoric knowing that in such a high profile way we did something that resonated with people."
The 35-year-old star is heading out on the road next month for an acoustic tour in the US, stopping at venues including including Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
He said: "I'm touring again in March and I'm preparing for that right now. It's a special tour, it's different to anything I've done before. It's an unplugged tour.
"Just me on piano and a string quartet. It'll be the first time I've done a full tour like that. I'm curious of how it's going to work and excited."
John's album 'Love in the Future' and his single 'All of Me' are out now on G.O.O.D/Columbia.

Example has been named Britain's Coolest Man 2014.
The 'Kickstarts' rapper beat a number of celebrities including David Beckham, Idris Elba and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner to the title, after fans praised his straight talking attitude and his down-to-earth personality in the annual poll conducted by Zoo magazine.
Example said: "I haven't won an award for anything, so it might as well be the best award in the country. I've been around in this game for eight years and I'm on my fifth album, and I've toured the world, and had 19 top 40s, and I've never been nominated or won f**k all. So it's just great this could be the first one."
Hot on the 31-year-old rapper's heels was Idris Elba - who received praise last year for his starring role in 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - and British snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan, placing second and third respectively.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry was knocked down to fourth place, after coming second last year, while 'Sherlock' actor Benedict Cumberbatch stole a spot in the top five.
Last year's winner, Carl Froch, failed to make the top 20.

Emma Roberts was horrified she had to buy her own toilet paper when she moved in on her own.
The 'American Horror Story' actress moved out of her parents' house when she was 18 and quickly found out some harsh realities about fending for herself.
She said: "My first reality check was when I moved into my own apartment when I was 18. I was like, 'Wait, I have to buy my own toilet paper? And I have to wash my own clothes? I miss my mom!' It's stuff like that you don't think about as a kid. Being an adult is not glamorous."
Emma, 23, is engaged to her 'American Horror Story' co-star Evan Peters, who she first met on the set of the movie 'Adult World' and she says the loves co-starring with people she is close to.
She added in an interview with America's OK! magazine: "I love jobs where you get to work with people you love and are friends with. It just makes the day go by faster."

Pete Wentz is set to become a father for the second time.
The Fall Out Boy bass player and his model girlfriend Meagan Camper announced today (17.02.14) she is pregnant, with a photo on Instagram of them kissing and Pete, 34, touching her stomach.
Beside the photo, they wrote: "We're super excited to announce we're expecting a baby!"
Pete - who has five-year-old son Bronx Mowgli with his ex-wife, Ashlee Simpson - and Meagan have been hoping to start a family for a while.
A source told People.com: "They've been planning on this for a while. And they're really excited for Bronx to have a new little buddy.
"Meagan is a big sister and has a great relationship with Bronx. She's naturally maternal so this is perfect."
Pete and Meagan started dating in September 2011 and he recently said they are also hoping to get married soon.
He said: "We talk about [marriage] a lot. I feel really lucky. It's really interesting when you're in a relationship with somebody who's truly my best friend. I talk to her about everything.
"She will tell me when I'm being not so insane, and sometimes she's like, 'You're being a little bit insane.' So, it's very helpful."
Meanwhile, Ashlee recently announced her engagement to Diana Ross' son Evan, which happened during a New Year's holiday in Hawaii.

Jennifer Lopez' ex-husband is "good friends" with her current partner, Casper Smart.
Singer Marc Anthony - who split from Jennifer in July 2011 after seven years of marriage - says he has liked Casper, 26, from the first time he met him.
Marc joked of his 44-year-old ex: "I like them young, too! I'm not one to judge."
Speaking more seriously, he then added: "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
The star - who has five-year-old twins Max and Emme with Jennifer - also said he still cares for his ex-wife a great deal, and has "respect" for Casper.
Speaking on 'The Wendy Williams Show', he added: "When you love someone and you care for someone ... Jennifer and I - I don't say it lightly - we're great friends. You know, anybody that means anything to her means something to me. That's keeping it simple. Casper's a great guy. He's been great to my children. And I have nothing but respect for him, absolutely nothing but respect."
Marc, 45, recently split from his girlfriend of a year, Chloe Green, but admits he hopes to one day wed again.
He said: "I do [want to get married]. I believe in relationships. I believe that God has blessed me in so many ways. Material things to but so far. Success goes but so far. But when your house is empty and you don't have someone to invest in, if you don't have a witness, it's almost worthless."

Victoria Beckham was happiest when she lived in the US.
The singer-turned-fashion-designer and her family moved to California when her husband David went to play for soccer team LA Galaxy in 2007 and she found it the ideal place to grow her business.
She told Allure magazine: "Living in America for six years was the happiest I think I've ever been. It was much more accepting for a woman to have a career, as well as a man. And I loved it."
Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old daughter Harper with David - says they are both supportive of each other's work and have a great home life.
She added: "David is the most wonderful man I have ever met. He's a fantastic father. He's incredibly talented, a wonderful husband. I supported him for many years, and he's proud of me. He supports me. We're very equal at home."
Victoria was a star in her own right as a member of girl group Spice Girls when she met David, and although it may have taken a long time to make the transition into fashion, after much hard work it has paid off.
She added: "I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot."

Taylor Swift lost her virginity to Jake Gyllenhaal.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' star was initially waiting until she was married to have sex, but was so smitten with the 'Brokeback Mountain' star she went to bed with him after a few months of dating.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "She thought she was going to marry Jake, that's how in love she was with him."
However, things stated to go wrong a little later when Jake, 33, didn't make the star's 21st birthday party at her family home in Nashville, Tennessee, in December 2010.
The source added: "The day before - all was set - he was coming, no issues. But the day of, she doesn't hear from him at all. No texts, no calls.
"Taylor thought maybe he was planning some sort of surprise. Nope. He didn't show up and she locked herself in the bathroom and cried the entire night."
The source says their breakup shortly after inspired her last album, 'Red', in particular the track 'The Moment I Knew', which features the lyrics: "You should've been there, Should've burst through the door ... You said you'd be here."
The insider said: "Her breakup with Jake inspired every word of 'Red'. The song that specifically references this 'event' is 'The Moment I Knew.' They lyrics are all about her birthday party and Jake not showing up."
Despite the source's assertions, Taylor has previously insisted the track 'I Knew You Were Trouble' from the same album was about another of her ex-boyfriends, Harry Styles.
The 24-year-old star is famous for penning tracks about her famous exes, with her song 'Dear John' widely believed to be about her short-lived relationship with John Mayer. She has also dated Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas.

He told RadarOnline.com: "That's my baby... He'll be taken care of."
Kim - who is believed to be four-and-a-half months pregnant - had initially declined to say who the father was when she unveiled her baby bump at New York Fashion Week on February 12 but Mr. Papers says they are an item.
He added: "We together."

'Thug Luv' star Kim, 39, has said she is "in heaven" over her pregnancy and has been getting cravings.
She said: "[I'm eating] Pizza! Everyday, pizza! A lot of vegetable pizza, because before I didn't eat vegetable pizza as much, but now I'm craving the vegetables."

Criteria listed for any potential new home for Justin includes the property must not be visible from the street and must preferably have at least five acres around it and be a minimum of 10,000 square feet inside.
The singer is said to be looking at houses listed for between $4 and $10 million and is also searching for a second home in the Los Angeles area, as well as looking at 20 acre estates in the Hidden Valley area.
Justin recently paid a visit to Atlanta where he was seen partying with P. Diddy, T.I. and Rick Ross.
While in the city he wrote on Twitter: "Back in my second home. Good to be back. Focused on building up positive energy"
Atlanta was the first place Justin - who was raised in London, Ontario - lived when he moved to the US from Canada to embark on his music career.
