Man About The House star Sally Thomsett signs up to the pilot
Former Eggheads star CJ de Mooi is trying to raise enough money to shoot a pilot of a sitcom he’s written.
The quizzer turned actor has persuaded Man About The House star Sally Thomsett to appear in the comedy – which would be her first screen acting role in more than 40 years.
And he says that if a broadcaster picks up the series, John Challis – best known as Boycie from Only Fools And Horse – and Ewen MacIntosh, aka Keith from The Office, are lined up to star, too.

Only Fools and Horses may have aired its final episode in 2003 but that hasn’t stopped fans from re-watching the classic BBC series. In a sketch which originally aired in the 1989 episode called Danger UXD, Del Boy (played by Sir David Jason) and Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) were seen having to deal with two blow-up sex dolls. And what fans may not have realised, is the writer of the comedy, John Sullivan, was so worried about the BBC canning the footage that details of the plot were kept a secret from comedy chiefs.
