Tossed Salads And Scrambled Eggs Callin' Again

I was excitedly reading about the reboot of the brilliant Frasier and was humming 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' while reading about who will be coming back from the original show (only Roz and Lillith) and disappointed that the star of the show for me, Niles, won't be but the silver lining to that is no Daphne and her mangled English accent (despite being English) and her awful family who really stunk up the show but in the list of new roles was one that i had to read about three times before it sank in.
Playing the role of university professor Alan Cornwall and Frasier close friend is our very own Nicholas Lyndhurst. Yep, THAT Nicholas Lyndhurst of Butterflies, The Two of Us, The Piglet Files, Goodnight Sweetheart and Only Fools and Horses fame.
Apparently Kelsey Grammer worked with Lyndhurst in the West End cast of Don Quixote musical Man of La Mancha in 2019 and thought he would be perfect for the role of the British, boozy and larger than life character he had in mind for his series.
I wouldn't have thought many Americans know Nicholas Lyndhurst, it it unlikely the excellent Goodnight Sweetheart about a time travelling TV repairman made it across the Atlantic but Lyndhurst was not one i had on my turning up in an American show Bingo Card although i am more than happy that he is.
The Frasier sequel is due to be shown in the UK October this year and sees the psychiatrist in Boston although the original Frasier was so good that i fear after 20 years away it won't live up to its previous high standards as one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.
Frasier will still be a radio psychiatrist only in Boston so we may see some old Cheers buddies drop by having moved from Seattle and Grammer promises the new show will pick up from where it left off which if memory serves, saw Martin move out and Niles and Daphne get married and Frasier on an airplane but as Fraiser is till shown on TV here, i am hoping that i catch the last series before the new one starts.
Those tossed salads and scrambled eggs are thankfully callin' again.
