Today we have an article as a celebration of Buster Merryfield<\/strong> or as we also know him Uncle Albert. Of course Buster was thrown in the deep end as Lennard was sadly lost during the early filming of Series 4. Scripts have since been found to prove that Uncle Albert was quickly written into the series to make some sense of the scripts to follow. Once again, no one but John Sullivan could of done it so well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buster Merryfield, joins Only Fools and Horses – not an easy start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He had a very difficult start to his Only Fools and Horses career. If you aren’t aware of the reason he joined Only Fools and Horses then don’t miss the scoop of the decade. Perry called it the Holy Grail, the most staggering thing he had come across for years. I can now share with you what Perry was stunned to come across back in 2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buster Merryfield had been selected as the new character, most of the scenes for the episode had to be re-shot. It is widely believed that the original scenes with Lennard Pearce have been destroyed. The only scene that was left alone to remain in the episode was of Mike looking up at the trotters from the seller of The Nag\u2019s Head. All other scenes were re-shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
