- TriviaIn 2011, Catherine Zeta-Jones invited David Jason to a rented house in Richmond to have Sunday lunch with her and her husband Michael Douglas. It was the first time Jason had seen Jones since she had wed Douglas; they had rented a magnificent property, and Douglas was in the pool playing with their sons. Jason considered him a great Hollywood star but Douglas was very relaxed as he came out the pool, dripping wet in Bermuda shorts and shook Jason's hand. Douglas thanked Jason for being generous with Jones and looking after her on the show. Jason was pleased he thought so.

Featured review
Perrrrfec!
If there was ever a television family that I would want to be a member of, the Larkin Clan would be it. Led by Pop Larkin (David Jason), a man of unquenchable good nature who does not believe in paying taxes but is more than generous with his money (which he seems to fall backward into), they make Kent seem like the modern day garden of eden. Half of the scenes in any particular episode involve either eating or food preparation. The family liquor cabinet resembles a shrine and plays "What do you do with a drunken sailor?" each time it is opened (a frequent event).
The luckiest character of all is the tax man who is sent to find out why Pop has never paid taxes and ends up never leaving. If you knew why, you'd probably be as jealous as I am. In the frequent words of Pop Larkin...Perrrrfec!
