Doctor Who star Peter Davison joins Bradley Walsh in The Darling Buds of May adaptation The Larkins as David Jason eyes cameo
The Larkins has found its Vicar.
The cast of ITV's second adaptation of H.E Bates' novel The Darling Buds of May keeps getting better and better.
Not only will The Larkins be led by Bradley Walsh as the scheming Pop Larkin and Joanna Scanlan as his equally scheming wife Ma, but Doctor Who star Peter Davison will also be joining them as the local Vicar.
In the '90s ITV adaptation, the Vicar was played by Tyler Butterworth, while Sir David Jason stepped into the shoes of the Larkin patriarch. It seems, however, that the Only Fools and Horses legend might also be interested in appearing in ITV's reboot.

Jason, who is 81, told the Daily Star: "A new version of Darling Buds? Consider me entirely in favour.
"Help yourself, Bradley. Fill your boots, son. By the way, if there’s a cameo role in need of filling..."

As well as being open to a cameo, Jason went on to say he thought the hardest part to fill would be "that of Mariette", who was played by Catherine Zeta-Jones in the original adaptation.
