Sir David Jason, portraying Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses, expressed his view that John's decision to make the Trotters millionaires left nothing for character development. He stated, 'There was nowhere to go after the Trotters became millionaires and it all worked out.' He reflected on how the essence of their struggle and family dynamics vanished, suggesting that the series lost its charm once they achieved their financial goals.
He continued by explaining, 'It wasn't that John had run out of steam so much, but he was so used to working mentally with all of the characters.' The unique tension of survival was integral to the show's appeal, and once Del and Rodney had wealth, the dynamic shifted dramatically, leaving their survival-based antics behind.
