    Oh no! He was a comedy writing genius! Only Fools, Just Good Friends, Citizen Smith, Dear John etc...

    Bonjour John. :(

    pneumonia catches a LOT of people and if it doesn't anything after that , well their immune system is far weaker.

    A real shame. He contributed a lot of good comedy over the years.

    Ha ha! Nice one Daren!

    RIP JS - Thanks for all the laughs, and with OF&H there were sooooo many of them.

    I saw the BBC news spot on this earlier whilst in the pub, very sad news indeed.

    RIP John Sullivan. :sad:

    That was unexpected, a shame as OFAH is one of my favourite comedies.
    RIP

    Shame about the timing too, with the last part of Rock & Chips (the Only Fools & Horses prequel) on this week.

    A very good writer with some quality shows, and he worked with some fantastic character actors (David Jason, Robert Lindsay). He'll be missed.
