The Chandelier Scene\u00a0From David\u00a0Jason’s\u00a0Perspective<\/h2>\n

Sir David Jason gave a radio interview recently and spent some time chatting to Richard Hatch about some classic episodes from Only Fools & Horses \u00a0including the story behind the classic chandelier episode.\u00a0John Sullivan’s father was the inspiration for the smashed chandelier storyline. Working as a plumber in the 1930s, he was part of a group of men who were fitting a new heating system into a stately home, and had to move some chandeliers. As with the Trotters, there was a mix up and the wrong one was undone and smashed. Sullivan found the story hilarious, although his father – who was sacked as a result of the incident – did not see the funny side. After watching the episode, however, he telephoned his son and agreed that it was funny after all.\u00a0David Jason\u00a0and Ray Butt agreed that the storyline ought to be used, meaning Sullivan had to write the script backwards, starting with just the end point and then working out how the Trotters would come to be in a mansion<\/p>
