\n7. Only one stuntman has been used for David Jason and that was in the episode Tea for Three when Del goes hang gliding. His name was Ken Barker who died in 1998 of prostate cancer.

\n8. Phillip Pope (Tony Angelino) writes and composes music for TV, Film and Rado shows.
\n9.The idea New York – Paris – Peckham came from a packet of Dunhill cigarettes except theirs say London – Paris – NewYork.
\n10. Only Fools and Horses was going to end after the Fifth Series as David Jason said he wasn’t going to do anymore. The new title was going to be Hot Rod and Rodney was going to be on his own. Del Boy was going to say yes to Jumbo Mills offer in Who Wants to be a Millionaire and go to Australia, with an option of Del Boy coming back at a later date. David Jason then changed his mind and the ending was changed, to turn down Jumbo Mills offer.<\/p>
