Trivia / Only Fools And Horses S 4 E 03 Hole In One

• The Other Marty: Lennard Pearce pre-filmed the location scenes just a few days before his death, requiring them to be reshot after Buster Merryfield was hired to play Uncle Albert. In the finished episode, the scenes of Mike looking up at the Trotters are taken from the shoot with Pearce, as only Granddad/Albert's arm and shoulder are visible, and it avoided having to rehire Mike's actor, Kenneth MacDonald.
• Write What You Know: John Sullivan got the idea from his grandfather, a coalman named Dickie, who claimed compensation by falling down holes.
