Sarah Duncan aka Vicky : Where are they now?<\/h2>\n

Sarah, it’s great to have you visiting the site and even making some recent comments on the blog. \u00a0Some fans spotted you in a recent game show, though sadly no mention of your starring episode at the time. We would love to hear more about the episode you starred in. <\/span><\/p>\n

The fans no doubt would love to get some memories from you from the time you filmed the great only fools and horses episode A Royal Flush<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Appearing in A Royal Flush<\/p><\/div>\n

Sarah<\/strong> – We filmed A Royal Flush around Salisbury, mostly on a big estate where the family had moved out of the big house and into the stable block. \u00a0When we arrived the front was all overgrown, but the design team cleared it up and gave it a grand gravel driveway with urns and topiary trees, just right for cars swooshing round. \u00a0At the end of the shoot someone asked Ray Butt about when were we going to film the people arriving for the party. \u00a0Never – it wasn’t in the script. \u00a0But there had been an arrival scene in the very first draft and that’s what the design team had gone on. \u00a0So when they realised it wasn’t needed, they took it all away again, right down to the last bit of the gravel.<\/p>\n

Were there scenes that never made the original airing you can recall or any little snippets would be great for the fans?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah<\/strong> – The interiors of the Opera scene were shot up in Buxton. \u00a0Again, a confusion with the script meant that there were more speaking extras needed than there originally had been, so their lines were said by the production crew off set – you can hear the different sound quality.<\/p>\n

The first scene I was in was the market scene. \u00a0It was a very cold day and I had to sit on this teeny stool for ages. \u00a0I was freezing – you can see me shaking.<\/p>\n

When I drove off in the Mercedes, I’d never driven an automatic before so was terrified i was going to get the wrong gear and go backwards into the crew. \u00a0They said, just put your foot down, so I did – we shot off at about 60mph which I don’t think anyone was expecting. \u00a0I had to come back and do it more slowly.<\/p>\n

I didn’t spend much time with David Jason as we didn’t have many scenes together but Nick Lyndhurst was lovely, so friendly and helpful. \u00a0All the crew were very friendly – it was a very happy time.<\/p>\n

Have you watched the <\/span>A Royal Flush <\/span><\/strong>episode since the filming?<\/span><\/p>
