British Comedy Guide, 30th July 2020John Jarvis obituary
John Jarvis, who has died aged 78, was a film editor whose comic timing was behind successful comedy series such as Only Fools and Horses, Ripping Yarns, As Time Goes By, Open All Hours and The Goodies. I was John's assistant during the 1980s, and I remember an occasion when the director Sydney Lotterby came into John's cutting room to see if one of his cuts could be improved. We spent some time moving individual frames, but in the end, there was no argument. John had got it right the first time.
