During the casting for the role of Grandad, Only Fools and Horses writer John Sullivan wanted to find an actor that resembled Wilfred Brambell’s performance as Albert Steptoe in the popular 1960s sitcom from Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, Steptoe and Son. Instead of choosing Brambell, who was heavily recognisable from Steptoe and Son, Sullivan wanted to find someone capable of portraying his daft, scruffy yet witty character for Grandad. After seeing Lennard Pearce’s audition, Sullivan chose him immediately.

Oddly enough, Brambell died just one month after Lennard Pearce. The same thing could have happened if they'd cast him.

OFAH's first ep aired only 7 years after Steptoe finished.

Production manager Adrian Pegg was on an OFAH podcast. He said they auditioned loads of people for the role of Cassandra including Liz Hurley.

Wasn't there a rumour that the actress who played Cassandra only got the role because someone had seen her in an adult magazine and liked what he saw, or something along those lines.

Maybe he could have dragged Taylor down, we will never know.

Hmmm, after a google search it looks like it might have been adult films instead - http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/t97798 ... trong.html

Cassandra first shows up in 1989.

Liz Hurley in 1990 here. Hmm. Dressed normally like this she is not as outrageously hot as I was imagining so I can sort of see it now. Women used to have eyebrows.

In 2023 we are as far from the first episode of OFAH (1981) as the first episode of OFAH was from the start of the second world war (1939).
