John Sullivan (writer)

John Richard Thomas Sullivan OBE (23 December 1946 – 23 April 2011) was an English television scriptwriter responsible for several popular British sitcoms, including ''Only Fools and Horses'', ''Citizen Smith'' and ''Just Good Friends''.
From working-class South London, Sullivan worked in a variety of low-paid jobs for 15 years before getting his first break writing ''Citizen Smith''. However, it was for the sitcom ''Only Fools and Horses'' (1981–2003) that he is best known for. Other sitcoms include ''Dear John'', ''Just Good Friends'', ''Sitting Pretty'', ''Roger Roger'', and ''The Green Green Grass''.〔 In addition, he wrote the comedy drama serial ''Over Here'' and the drama series ''Micawber'' for ITV, and co-wrote the comedy ''Heartburn Hotel''. His work won him a number of comedy awards, including the BAFTA for best sitcom on three occasions, and he was made an OBE in 2005. His last work was ''Rock & Chips'', a comedy drama prequel to ''Only Fools and Horses''. The final episode of Sullivan's last comedy series aired five days after his death from pneumonia on 23 April 2011.〔
To remember Sullivan's work, the BBC broadcast A Touch of Glass, the episode of ''Only Fools and Horses'' in which the Trotters drop a chandelier while cleaning it for an upper-class family. They also showed "Top 40 ''Only Fools and Horses'' Moments", where it is shown the best moment in ''Only Fools and Horses''. The episode, "A Touch of Glass" was voted number 2, losing to when Del Boy (David Jason) falls through an open bar in "Yuppy Love".
==Early life==
John Richard Thomas Sullivan was from a poor working-class background,〔The ''Only Fools and Horses Story'', ibid.〕 and grew up in Balham, South London.〔(John Sullivan at Ofah )〕 His Irish father, John, Sr., was a plumber and his mother, Hilda, occasionally worked as a charwoman.〔The ''Only Fools and Horses Story'' by Steve Clark〕 It was in Balham where he observed the sort of market trader that would later appear in ''Only Fools and Horses''. He failed his eleven-plus and attended Telferscot Secondary Modern School, where he had an inspirational English teacher named Jim Trowers, who sparked an interest in reading the novels of Charles Dickens and discovered his talent for writing stories. Sullivan left the school at 15 with no qualifications. He did, however attend evening classes in German and English, and read Teach Yourself books after leaving school.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/tv-radio-obituaries/8471344/John-Sullivan.html〕 His first paid employment was as a messenger boy for Reuters, and he continued to work in a number of low-paid jobs in South London for a further 15 years.〔〔(Sullivan's early years and first job. )〕
