one foot in the grave
note: in the original series 1 broadcasts of only fools and horses, there was a major difference to the theme tune. ronnie hazlehurst's theme tune was a jazzy type of instrumental tune that played over the start and end credits. this theme tune was replaced in series 2 with the more familiar john sullivan sung theme tune. and after series 1 completed its first run, all future re-runs of series 1 dropped hazlehurst's theme tune and replaced it with the standard john sullivan version to match all the other series theme tunes. the vhs/dvd versions all contain john sullivan's version of the theme tune which means hazlehurst's theme is of an extreme rarity.
