I guess he might need the money, if not he should consider getting a new Agent.
Personally I think he should quit while he is ahead.

Well he returned to it as it was a part he played in the origina series with Ronnie Barker and it was the show creators that wrote the special.
Now some may say writing it in the style of the original was a mistake as humour and comedy have moved on, but nostalgia is a curious thing. Look at the revived Birds of a Feather has been doing really well so far and keeps the comedy and scripting exactly the way it was. Works for some shows and not others it appears.
