Overview

  • The newly uncovered scene shows Del Boy knocking a mugger unconscious before a policeman mistakenly arrests Rodney
  • The working script, originally owned by the late Roger Lloyd Pack, includes multiple sequences cut by writer John Sullivan to build the muggers’ storyline
  • Signed by David Jason, John Challis and other cast members, the 155-page draft is estimated to sell for £2,000–£3,000 at Bristol’s Auctioneum
  • ITVX and UKTV have added trigger warnings to Only Fools & Horses episodes citing outdated language and attitudes
  • Fans have taken to social media to criticise the advisories as unnecessary and reflective of evolving content standards
