+Urbandude23 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 He worked for 15 years in low-paid jobs before getting the chance to write Citizen Smith. To remember his work on Only Fools and Horses, an episode was made in which the Trotters drop a chandelier while cleaning it. Quote
telbert Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Theres another specific link between John Sullivan and the phrase "Only Fools and Horses"before him writing the bbc series of O.F.A.H. Edited September 4, 2012 by telbert Quote
+Urbandude23 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 He failed his eleven plus and left school at 15 without any qualifications? Quote

OK, changing to another Genesis drummer, which film did Phil Collins appear in as a child? (there are two answers, I'm talking about the one where his bit wasn't cut out) Quote

OK, your turn... Edit: the other film I was referring to - apparently he was in the Railway Children, but his bit was cut out. (I feel his pain. I was edited out of a news item on East Midlands Today back in 1995. The scarring lives to this day ;-) ) Edited September 7, 2012 by Beach_hut Quote
