While Sir David, who played Pop Larkin in the early 90s, enjoyed the series, he admitted it was odd watching a new version. Speaking to The Sun during a rare appearance at the Cirque Du Soleil Luzia premiere last night, he said: "I thought it was quite good, not quite as good as the original.
It felt quite deja vu, it was a strange feeling." And Sir David, 81, didn't have any tips for multi-talented Chase host Bradley, adding: "He didn't really need it." The Larkins follows the lives of a working class family as they go about their business in a small village in rural Kent.
