Fans of Sir David Jason and Jay Blades will be disappointed as their new show, Touring Toolshed, has been temporarily pulled off air to make way for football coverage.
The BBC2 series, which started last week, has been a hit with viewers. The show sees the unlikely duo travelling to help members of the public, professional makers, and enthusiasts improve their crafts.
Sadly for fans, the show will be postponed this week to make way for the Africa Cup of Nations matches. It’s believed Wednesday’s episode (January 31) will now air on Saturday, February 10.

The series premiered last Monday at 6:30pm on BBC2, with a new episode each day. Things turned rather tense in a recent episode – Jay walked off screen after Sir David made digs about his barrel-making skills.

The pair enrolled in a barrel-making course, but a professional barrel maker stepped in to help Jay, who only received a four out of ten for his creation. It’s fair to say he was disappointed.
“The two of you can do one, I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough,” Jay declared before walking off set. But Sir David told the barrel expert: “To be honest, he didn’t do too bad, did he?”

The show, which has another 14 episodes in its series has already proved popular. One said: “Loved the show. Didn’t realise DJ was such a tinkerer. Great blend of learning and comedy.” Another added: “First class viewing..loved it.”
A third fan exclaimed: “Loved it. It was brilliant. Clearly a fabulous relationship between you both.” Another added: “Loved it, you are a good double act, made me smile.” And someone else wrote: “amazing show.”
TV icon Sir David Jason, famous for playing Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses and Jack Frost in A Touch of Frost, shared his excitement about the new series: “I think it’s really great to be able to encourage people of all ages to try their hands at different skills and past times as we are hearing so much more about being mindful and having different hobbies to help with our mental health.”

He also said: “I’ve always been interested in building models and tinkering with anything mechanical. As a teenager, I started to gain some knowledge about motorbikes and so I went about saving and buying a BSA B31 vintage motorbike. On its first outing, the frame broke and so I had to learn how to fix it and my passion kind of grew from there. Over the years, I’ve restored motorbikes and penny arcade machines amongst other things.”
