        A lot of people seem the think he was only regarded well once released from prison. I certainly didn’t know much about him until then.

        Yet Only Fools and Horses was made in 1981, and they lived in Nelson Mandela House. So even in the UK we knew South Africa was on the wrong side of history. And we should know, we wrote most of it…

        As opposed to the resistants (including many Jews) during WW2 who were literally called terrorists by Nazis ?
