Original Tune
The Original tune for the opening series one was very different
to the now well known tune currently used. Click here to here the original tune.
Interesting Fact
This original episode was amongst the names bounced around for
the comedy, others included the working title "Readies". Eventually
"Only Fools and Horses" was chosen. After the first series, the
theme tune was used to explain the expression used in the
title.
 Rumours
are ruined
We recently asked John Sullivan if it was true, that Raquel
(Tessa Peake-Jones) had appeared in the very first episode Big
Brother. The scene is pictured here, where Del walks in and a bird
in the background says Hello to Del, it does sound like Tessa but
is now confirmed as an Urban Myth with no substance.
The real world
 Nelson Mandella House as
seen for all the opening credits of Only Fools and Horses,
supposedly in Peckham, London.
Reality:
Harlech Tower, Park Road, East
Acton, London. Upto 1988 then Whitemead House Duckmore Road -
Bristol was used for Nelson Mandela House.
