Only Fools and Horses wide-boy Derek Trotter is returning to BBC One in a comedy drama about his teenage years.
Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Chips, set in 1960 and written by Only Fools scribe John Sullivan, will also focus on Del's "tarty" mother, Joan, and father, Reg.
Sullivan said it would give viewers an insight "into why Del and Rodney turned out they way they did".
Filming for the one-off 90-minute show, which will be shown next year, will start on location in London in August.
The Trotter brothers, Del - played by David Jason - and Rodney - played by Nicholas Lyndhurst - first hit television screens in 1981.
Dodgy Del Boy, whose catchphrases including "you plonker!" and "lovely jubbly", is one of the UK's best loved TV characters - with Only Fools and Horse consistently topping the polls for best comedy programmes.
'Ruffled feathers'
Sullivan said the new show would be "set in the real 60s, before The Beatles and Mary Quant made London the coolest place on the planet".
