    It saddens me that I've been doing so many of these of late about some truly great people.

    The sitcom writer John Sullivan died today. For those unfamiliar with the name, you will probably know some of his work, including Citizen Smith, Only Fools and Horses, Just Good Friends, Dear John, Roger Roger, The Green Green Grass (1st series) and Rock & Chips. The last epsidode of the latter will be on next week - it's sad he didn't get to see it air.

    RIP John - your work will never be forgotten!

    OMG... I as just about anyone with any taste and sense, have the full OFAH dvd collections. This is such a shame :/

    However his work and genius will live on. For me OFAH is a timeless classic. Even today when I rewatch them they still make me laugh and I still feel a great connection and care for the characters.

    RIP John...
