Being Boycie – By John Challis
Paperback: 250 pages
Publisher: Wigmore Books Ltd released on 30 Sep 2011
ED: I’m really looking forward to this autobiography as John Challis is one of the actors that seems to have a great memory for details of behind the scene antics in only fools and horses. I really hope we get to learn a lot more of how the only fools team worked on each episode – can’t wait!
Last night I met John Challis at one of his ‘Being Boycie’ events, and asked him about any scenes that were particularly memorable for him but never made it to screen.
He first talked about the infamous Boycie/Mickey/Jevon scene which was featured on this site previously.
However he did talk a little about another scene which never made it to air which I don’t think has been mentioned before.
It was a scene that was recorded for an episode in series four and again featured Boycie and Marlene’s dog Duke. Boycie and Marlene attend a gypsy wedding but Marlene is upset that Duke hasn’t been invited. John said that one his lines was
‘Well it’s not often that great dane’s are invited to weddings’.
I thought this might be of interest to the fans to see if anyone could work out what episode this might of come from.
These are the sorts of questions I will be asking when I attend one of his gigs. Although, I am going to refrain from reading more about his gig’s because I want it all to be fresh!
I tweeted John Challis some time ago and asked if he or any of the actors received unedited copies of OFAH to which he replied, no!
Fuck you, BBC.
Ask him what’s happening with new Ofah / GGG

i watched the nicholas lyndhurst interview on itv player, he was very good.
I have just watched it on itv player …It was John Challis, Sue Holderness and Tessa Peake-Jones …. and it was a really great 10 minutes or so!
On the Alan Titchmarsh show today (september 19th) it featured some of the only fools and horses cast, in a 15 minute interview to celebrate its 30th anniversary, It should be on the itv player if anyone missed it….
I am looking forward to this book also, has the potential to be a great read.
Also can anybody tell me if the recently released OFAH official inside story by Steve Clark is any good? Will probably get it anyway!
