He said: "Characters are indestructible like Superman. At least he has kryptonite. Prequel characters don’t even have that."
The age of the characters is part of their charm, he added: "I think we root for the Craiglang gang because they’re old."
"Only Fools and Horses did it and it was canned after a season."
Another fan added that the actors are too old to play the iconic characters' younger versions.
The star said: "Very true. A prequel would have to be set in the 90’s for us to be age-appropriate to play the parts…
He joked: “Jack! That’s me got tickets tae Nirvana! Ye intae it?” “Cannae wait, Victor! Hope they play Heart Shaped Boax!”
