John Sullivan

For those of you outside the UK (as nearly everyone in the UK is fully aware) the writer John Sullivan passed away this weekend at age 64 after a lengthy battle with pneumonia. John wrote some of the great comedy classics such as Only Fools And Horses, Just Good Friends, Dear John, Citizen Smith, Sitting Pretty, Roger Roger, Heartburn Hotel, The Green Green Grass. The third installment of his Only Fools And Horses prequel, Rock & Chips, will be aired Thursday night. John also wrote the opening theme songs for some of his shows and even sang the openings for Only Fools and Horses and The Green Green Grass.
