Trivia / Only Fools And Horses S 4 E 02 Strained Relations

• First Appearance: Of Uncle Albert.
• Reality Subtext: Grandad was killed off following the death of Lennard Pearce. David Jason later recalled that recording the funeral scene was an emotional experience for all involved:
  What a bleak day that was. The weather matched our moods and it fed into the scene — the drama of the dark glasses at the graveside. It was all very hard to do, with Lennard's memory so fresh. I was very emotional. It was an episode written by John [Sullivan] out of respect for Lennard. So I wanted to get it right for Lennard, and at the same time, I wanted to get it right for John. He just wouldn't let television dismiss Lennard's passing, in the way that television might have done, if television had been left to its own frequently fickle devices. It was a wonderful thing — and something that nobody had done in situation comedy.
