Only Fools and Horses superfan splurges £6,000 on iconic prop from the show
AN Only Fools and Horses fan yesterday splashed out £6,000 on Peckham Spring Water.
The 12in (32cm) bottle is the only one signed by Del Boy actor Sir David Jason, 82.
Del peddles tap water as the drink — earning his family a Brighton holiday — in 1992 special Mother Nature’s Son.
It later emerges Peckham Spring is toxic after a reservoir has been contaminated by barrels of yellow liquid dumped by Del and his pals.
The bottle was given to an audience member after filming the episode.
It was among 200 lots at East Bristol Auctions — including items from the estate of Boycie actor John Challis.
Mike the barman star Kenneth MacDonald’s script from the 1996 Batman and Robin episode fetched £5,000.
The label on the signed glass bottle read: “The purest Peckham spring water, drawn from an ancient natural source discovered by returning Crusaders 800 years ago.
“The spring is ideally located where prevailing winds and a protected environment together ensure a purity unique among spring waters.
“Peckham still is a crystal clear spring water, delicious on its own or mixed.
“The diet conscious will find this pure low sodium spring water irresistible.”
