Only Fools and Horses may have aired its final episode in 2003 but that hasn’t stopped fans from re-watching the classic BBC series. In a sketch which originally aired in the 1989 episode called Danger UXD, Del Boy (played by Sir David Jason) and Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) were seen having to deal with two blow-up sex dolls. And what fans may not have realised, is the writer of the comedy, John Sullivan, was so worried about the BBC canning the footage that details of the plot were kept a secret from comedy chiefs.
