    Steve Carell of the US office has said that he would like to do a US version of OFAH with himself as Del Boy,

    I think it would have to be set in somewhere like the Bronx,

    Christopher Lloyd could be the grandad/uncle albert
    Michael Cera for Rodney, (though maybe a bit young, possibly Zach Braff?)
    Jimmy Fallon for Trigger

    Suggestions???

    They have finally and completely run out of ideas.

    Suggestions?

    Could be worse.
    They could have suggested Danny DeVito for Del Boy.

    It couldn't be as bad as the specials that were made over the last few years.

    Christopher Lloyd-While I love him he'll end up playing some zany, over the top Grandad.

    Michael Cera-Will just end up playing the same awkward, weird and quiet teenager as Rodney.

    Jimmy Fallon-Just wouldn't work as Trigger.

    In fairness, no American cast could live up to the original cast. But if it was to get the go ahead they would probably do The Office on it and only base it on the original series and change the characters.

    I liked it, personally speaking. However, if you think that's bad then check out their early double act "Mash & Peas" if you haven't seen it already. *Waits for Mash & Peas love*
