Re: RIP John Sullivan
Ditto all the above.
An amazing British writing talent, the likes of which we may never see for a long time to come.

Re: RIP John Sullivan
RIP John Sullivan.
Citizen Smith, Only Fools & Horses, Just Good Friends and Dear John are probably four of the best comedies of the last 40 years.
I liked the way that he could switch from comedy to drama and back again without missing a beat. A good example is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_nMMffZ3eU . Another good example is Cassandra's miscarriage in the 1996 xmas special.

Re: RIP John Sullivan
A sad loss indeed, my mum loved Just Good Friends. Glad I bought the boxset of Only Fools and Horses

Re: RIP John Sullivan
What sad news, Britain has lost perhaps its best modern day comedy writer at the relatively young age of 64.
Among his greats were: "Dear John", "Just Good Friends" and of course "Only Fools".
RIP John you really will be missed by a grateful nation.
