"David Jason is to take on the role of master criminal Des once again as Diamond Geezer returns with a series. The ITV1 comedy drama, which returns for three 90-minute episodes next year, will see Des undertaking huge missions including breaking into Buckingham Palace on behalf of MI6 and stealing 12 million pounds of Russian gold. &amp;quot;We are delighted that Diamond Geezer is returning with a series,&amp;quot; explained David Reynolds, ITV Controller of Comedy, Drama and Drama Features. &amp;quot;The original episode proved a hit and we felt that there was a lot of scope for David Jason&amp;#039;s character, Des to develop.&amp;quot; Jason is also set to return to screens this autumn in a new A Touch of Frost special entitled Endangered Species. &amp;quot;The filming of the new episode involved working with wildlife including crocodiles and snakes,&amp;quot; Reynolds added. &amp;quot;It certainly kept the cast and crew on their toes!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
