The singing legend loves watching the comedy antics of market trader brothers Derek 'Del Boy' and Rodney Trotter - who are played by Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst respectively - over and over again, and he finds the episodes "just as hilarious" no matter how many times he watches them.

He said: "I can watch every episode over and over and each one is still just as hilarious as the first time I saw it."

Tom - who was born in Pontypridd, Wales - also admitted watching episodes of 'Escape to the Country' are often his guilty pleasure, because he loves to chow down on Welsh cakes, a calorific delicacy in his home nation, at the same time.

He said: "I rather enjoy watching 'Escape to the Country'. On its own, no guilt.

"However, add in munching a few Welsh cakes while I’m viewing it ... that then becomes a guilty pleasure."

But Tom doesn't have time for Welsh cakes when he is concentrating on crime drama 'Mare of Easttown'.

He said: "Recently, the American crime drama 'Mare of Easttown' — Kate Winslet as the detective is simply outstanding."

And the star also enjoys watching 'The World at War', a mammoth 26-episode documentary series which chronicles the events of the Second World War.

When asked what series he is hooked on, he told The Times newspaper: "The World at War narrated by Laurence Olivier.

"This is the best document of the Second World War and one that I’ve watched umpteen times."
