Actually just watched this sketch on BBC4s 2 Ronnies Sketch Book. They said John Sullivan went on to make Only Fools and Horses with some inspiration from this sketch. You can see where Del Boy and the dodgy dealings came from with the Victorian watches ect. Barker was absolutely brilliant at writing. And how he could do the sketches without cracking a smile is bloody phenomenal
