An Evening with Boycie

Come and listen to John Challis talk about his life, before he was famous John had short lived careers as an estate agent and a grocer’s assistant. He eventually decided that acting was the way to go and very quickly secured a role in the West End and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company. One of John’s biggest disappointments came when he landed a part in The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour – even getting to meet John, Paul and Ringo- before being told that he couldn’t be released from his current acting contract to take the role. John did however appear in The Sweeney, Citizen Smith and Doctor Who. And of course the role that is best known for, Boycie in Only Fools And Horses.Which lead to the show Green Green Grass. Boycie is the local second hand car dealer and for a long time was the richest man Del Boy knew.
