I see that the wonderful John Sullivan (creator of "Only Fools
and Horses") left an estate valued at approx £8.5m - very well
deserved.

It would be very interesting to know how much money the BBC made,
and is still making from the products that he created for them -
syndication in the US, world-wide rights and repeats after repeats
after repeats.

It would make the £1.2m that the BBC spent on the Hippo idents
seem like small change !!

Well lots just look at the DVD release of OFAH all the same but different packaging. But still edited to fuck to cut down on music costs which BBC could easily afford.
