1: Readies or not
The original title for the show was "Readies", but after writing the first few scripts, series creator John Sullivan decided to call it Only Fools and Horses, deriving from an obscure saying ("Why do only fools and horses work?") that goes back to the 19th Century. This had also been the title of an episode of Citizen Smith – Sullivan's earlier sitcom.Our Programmes
