Only Fools & Horses (Spec script) Page 2

Granddad was dead before Rodney met Cassandra. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? You have a zombie character.

The characters were there for my own convenience. I almost mentioned an adult Damien alongside Grandad in one edit, now that would have been mental.

Be grateful I published a finished draft of something, Badge :P

I don't think the fact that the story doesn't fit into the show's history is a big deal with a spec script, it's a flight of fantasy/demo of skills, isn't it, not a serious addition to the canon.

And in case it wasn't obbvious from what I posted earlier, I think it's very good Cool

Granted Leevil isn't the most lively of us but that's a bit much.

I've never heard of imitation scripts going anywhere as they don't show anything.
Developing characters and their relationship is the hard work in sitcom this is just replication. You've said what might happen if Del Boy had got his hands on e cigs.

It's not even satire.

It would be good if the Granddad character actually was a zombie.

only fools and walking corpses

NT DEL BOYS FLAT GRANDAD IS CHAINED TO THE SOFA AND IS CLEARLY A ZOMBIE,

GRANDAD
Euuurrrrggghhhh

DEL
Oh shut it granddad no one wants to hear about the war.

GRANDAD
Euuurrrggghhhhh

RODDERS STORMS IN THE FRONT DOOR WITH A BOX OF GUNS

RODDERS

DEL

RODDERS

DEL

RODDERS
No off the shooters, you've got a lot of unhappy customers.

GRANDDAD

DEL

Laughing out loud

Like them both, favourite is Lee's

Only bit of critique I have is that I don't think e-cigs were around during the Grandad years.
